facial and head pain--any ideas??

My fibro has been pretty tame all Summer, but unfortunately returned bigtime this week.  Everything from my neck up hurts, and it's like I'm getting little flares of pain here and there.  It's hard to deal with pain around the eyes and ears, especially.  Neurontin helps quite a bit, but I try not to go the meds route if I can avoid it.  I was desperate and put on a warm winter hat, and that helped, tho I looked ridiculous, but hey--I'm home and my kids didn't mind !

Any other suggestions for this type of pain?  I steam over boiling water and that helps some, but I wish I could wear something all over my face and head which would conduct heat and gently massage! (Dream on, huh?)

Great idea, Treebo.  Thanks!

I'll check out B,B, and B. Thanks, Marlee!

Austen, I'm a "chronic" Wal-Mart shopper, so this is good news. Thanks!

You know, Sherrine--I had just mentioned that very thing to my son yesterday!  Yes--would not wear that in public, or I'd end up on some kind of "wanted" list!   But I actually wrote down yesterday on my Wal-Mart list to check on them there.  Thanks!

I wouldn't remember I have WHAT on?  Oh--that....   (hee hee hee) (sorry--I couldn't resist!)

No, Sherrine that wasn't it. What was the Bill Cosby cartoon show, not Little Bill but another one??? Yes, that was it with the heavy set boy. I've got to look this up before it drives me crazier.

 

I can sleep tonight, it was Fat Albert and the one that wore the stocking hat was Dumb Donald. Oh what would I do without the internet.   

luv and hugs
