One of my PEM/flare symptoms is severe facial pain, primary in my nose, cheeks, and jaw area. It's a hard pain to describe, it feels almost like it's in the bones. Once it comes on, there is no way to get rid of it except possibly sleeping if off overnight. Regular laying down rest doesn't get rid of it, neither does a nap, medication, cold or warm eye mask, etc. It feels absolutely awful and hard to do anything else when it feels that way. Does anyone else get this?
Another PEM/flare symptoms I get is bright pink/red facial flushing in the cheeks and nose. I'm not sure if others get that one either. I don't see it mentioned. I get this quite often without the pain, but it seems that I don't get the pain without the flushing. Facial and nose swelling is another symptom I get as well, most mornings I wake up with this but sometimes it comes on or worsens mid-day.
I'm having the bad facial pain now, along with swelling and flushing, and it just made me wonder if anyone else has this, and if you do, if you know what it is, and is there anything you've found that helps with the pain. Thanks.
