Hi this month is Facial pain awareness month. Which includes trigeminal neuralgia and anesthesia dolorosa.

Trigeminal neuralgia specifically has it's international awareness day on the 7th of October.

My goal is to make these conditions more known.

It's about the most painful pain to humans yet barely spoken about and almost no one knows it.

I would love it if people would talk about it, share about it..

The color for Trigeminal Neuralgia is Teal btw.

Now and then I see a Tumblr user use an illness as like an “aesthetic” user name.

It’s always interesting to me that for some, these illnesses or medical issues just look or sound cool, presumably, when for others they are unwanted parts of objective reality.

Having to take so many painkillers just to manage this nerve pain in my face is horrible 😭 I keep waking back up because of pain

Compression Gloves for Hand Pain

This resource covers what symptoms compression gloves can help with, which conditions they're most suitable for, how long to wear them for and when not to wear them, and a few tips on sizing.

‼️ Reminder: I am not a medical professional and this resource (as with all the resources shared on this blog) does not replace professional advice and guidance. It is best to talk to your doctor or another health professional before making lifestyle changes or using aids.

Compression Gloves: Neuropathy, Arthritis, More Benefits

Compression gloves are worn to apply pressure to the hands to increase blood flow and hand temperature. Learn more about gloves for symptom

"Compression gloves employ pressure to improve blood flow, warmth, and stability in your hands. They can help reduce symptoms of pain, joint stiffness, and swelling that often occur with problems like arthritis.

Though research on how compression gloves work has been inconclusive, there is some proof that they provide relief. Wearing well-fitting gloves for at least eight hours can help you achieve the most benefits.

...they may improve comfort and hand function by providing the following benefits:

• Reduce or control swelling in your hands and fingers

• Support joints

• Ease joint pain

• Decrease joint stiffness

• Increase hand temperature

• Improved hand dexterity

• Extend hand range of motion

• Increase pinch strength

However, it is important to note that some people report that compression makes no difference in hand symptoms compared to regular gloves."

does anyone with endometriosis or another gynecological disorder get referred pain into their legs (neuralgia?) that feels almost like an irritated or torn meniscus (i'm not joking because it was so bad last time i needed crutches to get around my studio apartment that night) because i thought me falling is what triggered that pain last time but now it's in my right leg & i haven't fallen again...

Heya just want to say be kind to yourself if you can’t do everything you strived to do today.

So one of my current medical issues is Trigeminal Neuralgia, which is where one of your nerves essentially becomes super hypersensitive and sends false pain signals like a jerk. It’s also called “Suicide sickness” which is hideously depressing, because of how much this thing HURTS.

But, it’s also on your FACE. That’s right, I’m here cosplaying the worst part of PRINCE ZUKO. Man, I understand why that boy was so petty. I’m about to kick a wall. Get me the avatar.
