Hey, thanks so much?
However, I can't find a method of finding these. How did you do it? Just searching for @daaboss?? I could also see how you might do that with an external search engine, combining Mayo with my ID.

Now --- I think I may have discovered something that might be effective for a lot of folks. It is easy cheap, fast, and 100% safe. So, I REALLY think this should be prominently posted. In fact, I'd suggest a special post like this for each condition: "FAQ -- Acceptable User's Answers". "While not definitive, many of these are anecdotal, and so you should not rely on any of these answers." Here's my short version:

TM solution:
Apply enough heat to the area, with a handheld showerhead running slow, but fairly hot water up into the ear area. My last bout seemed to have responded better by concentrating on my jaw bone itself, near the ear. Don't burn yourself though -- If you can't leave the water running on your arm for 5 minutes, then it is too hot. I got relief that was 100%, pain free in 20 minutes, and it did not reoccur. As mentioned elsewhere, for me at least, the only other effective treatment was about 12 mg of hydrocodone. Hot water is cheaper, easier, safer, and faster. Before I got it so I think I can reliably work 100% of the time, it took me 4-5 different instances. At first years ago, I had tried a low fan setting hair dryer. That just didn't work--at all. It is impossible to get enough heat transferred to where it was effective, using a hair dryer. Water is safer and much more effective.
