Ok here's where I'm at. The pain in my right temple
has been on going now for over 5 weeks with no brakes.
Standard non asprin seems to knock it out completely
for about 5 or 6 hours. Aleve works for about 12 hrs.
The pain is in same place every time and starts with a
dull ache then changing into the feeling of a lit
cigarette touching the side of my head. This has been
going on for the last three years, but I have had a
couple of two week breaks from the pain. My right eye
gets red and for years I thought it was a cat dander
reaction. After reading the messages here I see that
isn't so. Visine returns the eye to normal in a matter
of minutes, but it happens about three times a day.
Even tried the herbal headache stuff called Feverfew.
It did nothing at all. I feel this thing is getting
worse and my stomach can't take these pain killers
for ever. I a little scared. Don't want to spend
the rest of my life fighting this. Talk to you later.
