Persistent facial pressure and brain fog after a neurological episode

@lynnann50 Thank you for sharing this. There are some similarities with what I experience, although the sensations are not exactly the same. In my case, it is not really a headache, but a constant bilateral feeling of pressure and tightness around my cheekbones, temples, under the eyes, and forehead.
I was also prescribed carbamazepine in the past under the brand name Tegretol, but for a different reason, not for suspected trigeminal neuralgia.
I’d be very interested to know whether it helps specifically with your “cement face” sensation and head pressure. If you can, please let me know how it goes.

Hi, my head doesn’t ache per se, but the right side from jaw to ear to occipital socket and forehead feels like there’s pressure pushing out.
It does affect my right eye vision. It blurs out occasionally.
I’ve had all the tests, ophthalmologist, ent, neurologist, PT for neck. I’m hopeful the 100mg of carbamazepine at bedtime will help with sleep and waking up without that rush of pressure and swimming feeling, which the lasts all day. Very much like intoxication. I haven’t consumed alcohol for 15 years.
I also have neuropathy knees down, but not as anyone else describes it. It does cause my right foot to flop.
At the 100mg I don’t imagine that will be helped.
I’ll let you know.
Ps, I’m 76 and I remember we ran through the mosquito abatement fog in the 50s and 60s. I will always wonder if that’s why neurological issues are so prevalent in my age group.🤔
