Hi

I've just woken myself up by biting down on my teeth and the pain just caused me to wake up. Has anyone done this too?

I'm ok as took tegretol at 9pm. Can I ask if anyone works with this condition? I work in primary school. Have a good night everyone. Hope I can get back to sleep.

      Hi sam

      Very dizzy on tegretol.want to go back to work next week. It has eased the pain 85 percent. Much better than it was. Have accupuncture. Couldn't stand the pain. Spent most of the time in bed. Early days I know. Rang the helpline today and found that helpful. Good luck
