Hello, I too suffer greatly with this. I started out dx with fibromyalgia & now this. I've tried so many things. I get the most relief with targeting the trigger spots with a hard baseball in a long sock. I lay on it til I feel it actually release, then move on to next spot. It can take over an hour to do them all & i use a device called a thera-cane to get those hard to reach areas. Im in a bad flare at the moment & im on day 3 of this treatment. Its starting to hurt less...til the next one.

@krits Interesting to hear about your baseball. I've had my facial pain for 11 + years. I had noticed sleeping on my fist was a help and then i made a wooden object to take the place of my fist, so that now acts as my teddy bear at night. Another home remedy is a piece of wood - a stick - about 30 " long which, while sitting i can prop it up between my thigh and places around my face to get pressure relief. This way i have 2 free hands to hold my book and read. Finally, i get much relief from wearing a sweat band on my forehead which i wear about 23 X 7 and it helps greatly with the pain. Hope these ideas give some of you some relief. If i find a cure, i'll let you know.
