Artificial facial pain (Revised)
What exactly happens?It started 1 year back when I was diagnosed with vit b12 and vit d deficiency. i'm 35
I was hospitalized for 2 days for this along with major dyspepsia.
I was told to take shots for a week. I was feeling week but was continuing with my daily work. But was in fear that something would happen to me even though what ever happened was nothing major. I started to be really worried about the slightest of any kind of symptoms.
All of a sudden after almost a month, I had a gastric attack yet again and something on the left side of my head just popped up and I started to have a continuous pressure build up on my left side. The neuro asked me to get a MRI done which reveled everything normal.
The pressure or the pain subsided after 3-4 days.
The very next day, I had this burning sensation all over my body, probably due to anxiety followed by loose motions. Only this time the pain or the pressure on the left side came with a bang. I over stressed out and probably stressed my self too much. The pain and weird sensations of things moving up and down started happening all over my head. It started fro the back of my head and neck region. Whenever I used to sleep on my left side I had clinching pain near my left ear and temples.
I could not sleep now, I felt as if my left half is awake all the time.
At this time I even showed my self to Dr. Banerjee in CR park, who after seeing my reports and observing me said that there is nothing wrong all my system is fine, its only that I need to slow down my thinking. The medicines prescribed by him did not work. He changed it 3 times. The reason could be that I did not follow the course to well or I was impatient.
Few weeks later I showed myself to another famous neuro who put on Tryptomer 10 mg to start with for 15 days. There was some respite. Then I was put on 25mg for 2 months. But my anxiety levels were vey high, I had panic attacks, sleepless nights but would doze down with Lonazep.25.
Then along with the medication I started taking Ayurveda help.
Two forms working together gave me some respite. I was put again on 10 mg and then on 20 and now again on 25 mg for last 5 months.
Now after a year things are better but I still havent got complete respite.
There are days when I feel less of pressure and pain and then there are days when its more and less sleep. All the doc say that there is nothing wrong its only that I think too much. My neuro says its somatization.
Unlike before, Im now continuing my normal life routine and try to ignore and try and live a stress free life. I also do yoga with breathing exercises.
Describe all sensations and pains.
Its a continuous pressure/stiffness in the left face, ear, back of head and sometime top left half extending down to left neck and shoulder area. Also the left back spine area with tingling. At times I feel the tingling all over my body but comparatively less than before.
All the time I feel as if something is blocked/stiffness in my ear, which at time eases out but comes back.
I also have a bad digestive system with acidity and at time reflux
What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
I think too much stress without any reason, anxiety before, lack of sleep
What creates some relief for the problem?
When I get up in the morning the pressure is much less and builds up slowly.
Taking bath with cold-water eases the pressure/stiffness.
Lying down eases it out. Fresh cold air / in front of AC eases it. Even taking steam eases the stiffness.
What triggers the problem into occurring?
Disturbed/Lack of sleep during night time
Hot weather
What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
Continuous from 1 year
Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior.
Im now very impatient and get irritated very easily
By gods grace I have no medical issues My MRI, Blood tests, endoscopy, Ct scan of the temporal area, mastoids do not reveal any abnormality. I have led a complete healthy life with a healthy diet from past 1 year
I have started taking Pulsatilla 30 C and Belladonna 30c ( 2 times 4 drops each )with 5Phos6X ( 4 tab 3times a day ) and Rhus Tox 200c (once a day 4 drops) from last 3 weeks but cant really say that there is a difference but at times feel the difference too.
Plz advice
