I have had TM for about 6 months now. I am using Tegretol, Neuronton and Amitriptylin to control the feelings I am getting on my chest and sides around my T4 vertebrae (my TM "break"), but none are working. I get either severe tingling sensations (pins and needles) or I can feel the vibration of the motors in the house (like the refrigerator) through our solid floors and my wheelchair. Also, when I wake up from naps in the afternoon, it often feels as if my shirt is burning my chest like it was soaked in vinegar. This happens at night infrequently. Washing my chest and putting on a new shirt solves this problem. Nothing I've tried yet works, such as these medicines, washing my chest, new shirts, no shirt, and lotion on my chest. Any ideas on how to get rid of these very disturbing symptoms?
