I have not wrtten for a while, but read the list daily!!

Has anyone taken Tegretal for pain, burning, cramping, etc.? My Dr. has
prescribed this med. and there are a lot of side effects it can cause. The Dr.
gave it to me for cluster headaches, but she said it could help with some pain
occuring in TM (in my case, burning of the skin from time to time). Why do
things have to be so complicated?? I have taken 100's of meds. for over 26
yrs. for these clusters and none of them have worked for very long.

My TM started in Sept. 96. My case is not bad at all compared to most of you.
I just have numbness and tingling in hands, feet and groin and feel cold most
of the time, you know?. The burning started three months ago but only 3 - 4
time per week for 15 - 30 min. each. My (Spot!!) is in C-2. That I learned, is
high compared to most.

I sure hope it can releave the clusters AND the TM pain.

Thanks in advance for your replies and bless you all.
