 Today does not need to be a trigeminal neuralgia day. It really doesn't.

Where is it happening? It's on the right side this time. 

How bad is it? Three instances so far, so I am braced for more, since that's usually how it goes. Wait, four. And it's not super-bad, just the little dungeon map of tiny passages filled with pain, leading outward and upward from my right upper jaw. Much of the upper cheek is involved, with what feel like lines curving downward from the outer right eye, and this time it's also doing the Monocle of Pain trick, where my eye is ringed in a weird hybrid sensation of ache/pain/coldness/tightness/tickling. That last bit is even more annoying than it sounds. 

What set it off this time? Temperature differential (cold). One accidental touch of cold against the right spot was all it took.


We shall see. Meanwhile I am going off to look again at the pattern of the trigeminal nerve in the face, so as to check whether the stuff on the cheek and the lines from the outer corner of the eye match where the nerves are.

Got a decent rest since the last wave, so maybe it will get bored and wander off.

Silly body.

Anybody else deal with this nonsense? Several people in my family have.

There's a quick sale going on at https://www.etsy.com/shop/LionessElise where almost everything is 35% off right now and a few things are 50% off. The sale ends when there's enough to handle some bills that need to get taken care of.

Thanks for looking, and for being awesome. Love you all.
