I believe what you are all experiencing is Trigenminal Nerualgia, which can be helped with anti-seizure medications and other various medications. TN stems from a tri-split nerve that has three separate bases and runs to three separate areas in the brain/face. I suggest an MRI to see if this nerve is obstructed in any way. Please do research on TN1 and TN2 and I think you may find some peace. The worst part is, your doctors should have told you this. I also think seeing a chiropractor and getting a spine adjustment may do you all wonders. When not perfectly aligned, the spine can compress on any nerve causing the craziest things to happen. Please let me know if this helps.

I have been suffering for 9 years with what sounds a very similar problem:
- pressure in nose
- stretching down the sides of my face
- stretching down sides of my nose
- tingling in my top lip
- twitches on my face
- throbbing in the roof of my mouth
- pressure and throbbing in my gums
Doctors can find nothing wrong me and I would do anything for a cure.
What makes it especially hard is that these symptoms are caused by the foods I eat - anything containing calcium triggers these symptoms very bad.
Other symptoms I suffer from are:
- irritability
- inability to think clearly or read properly
- very tired (when I don't stick to a very limited set of foods)
I am so desperate to get my life back, there aren't many things I wouldn't do. I send out good luck to anyone else suffering from similar problems.

I'm not so sure that would apply to me. This site explains that there is short sharp pains http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Trigeminal-neuralgia/Pages/Introduction.aspx.
For me it's not always painful, it's just very uncomfortable and is permanently there. What do you think?

Actually, I continued to read that article and found this which sounds like what I just said.
Trigeminal neuralgia type 2 (TN2) can be referred to as atypical (not typical) trigeminal neuralgia. Pain is more constant and involves aching, throbbing and burning sensations
I am seeing my doctor tomorrow and will definitely mention this.

I now KNOW what it is....
Phaedrus is my previous post
It's called - Chronic Nerve Compression - and its like carpal tunnel of the face.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3052669/
Compression
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common and most well-understood chronic nerve compression. The words used to describe chronic nerve compression are “numbness and tingling” (paresthesias) and not pain. Yet, for some individuals, chronic nerve compression can be perceived as chronic pain. This is most often seen in the setting of a peripheral nerve neuropathy. However, in the face, persistent tingling and numbness can become sufficiently distracting as to be disabling, and for some patients the perception is one of pain. In a partially injured nerve, there can be components of both true nerve injury, with axonal sprouting causing pain, as well as chronic compression.
The most common sources of chronic nerve compression in the maxillofacial region are related to cosmetic surgery and facial trauma. The endoscopic brow approaches lend themselves to putting excess tension on the supraorbital and infratrochlear nerves. The subperiosteal midface lift and newer tacking techniques using absorbable ribbons or nonabsorbable sutures lend themselves to putting excess tension on the infraorbital nerve (Fig. 2), and perhaps creating true neuromas of the zygomatico-temporal and zygomatico-facial nerves. With regard to facial fractures, either the trauma itself can compress the trigeminal nerve or its branches against the underlying bone or, as with the classic zygoma fracture, injure the nerve within the fracture site.27 Careful follow-up studies show that 6 months after a zygoma fracture, up to 50% of the patients may still have symptoms related to the infraorbital nerve.

Glad you came back to use Phaedrus.
How is your life now? I hope you are well? Have you been able to treat your symptoms?

I'm not sure if you had ever gotten the answer you were seeking, but I wanted to let you know that this also sounds very much like Trigeminal Neuralgia. It can show itself in many places, but it's always painful and uncomfortable. For some, its around the jaw or chin; for others its around the cheek or under the nose. It may also be felt around the eye socket and possibly the side of your head. Or, it could be a mixture of a few, or all of these. Either way its always either felt as pressure, electrical shock/snake-like feeling, stabbing or burning sensation that only progresses with time. If you are having symptoms that are any way similar, I would recommend that you talk to you doctor about TN as a possible cause. It's best that you get the treatment you need now, before it has the chance to get any worse.

I don't know about the problem.
But I feel that laughter yoga is very helpful in many problems. Please try to have sustained laugh for 10-15minutes. If you are getting some group nearby, thats perfect. Otherwise you can join skype for the session. They are arranging many laughter sessions.

Look up dr. Carolyn Dean and read about magnesium, and the very unique bio-available formula she advises. I have very strange nerve/muscle issues and have just received this. It sounds like it would help tremendously.

I also have same problem. However, I have been dignosed with high blood pressure which is probably causing this. I'm on medication. Hopefully with blood pressure coming down to normal these sensation will go away. Did you guys got your blood pressure checked?
