Insomnia
« on: February 13, 2023, 07:39:45 PM »
I have had stabbing ear pain on and off for 4 years which wakes me at night and disrupts sleep. Wondering what others take for insomnia? I take CBD THC, zolpidem, melatonin at the moment. Does any one else have ear pain (my AN is close to the trigeminal) and sleep issues? 4 years CK.

I have heard of trigeminal neuralgia after radiosurgery.  But of course only a doctor can say.  Might we worth checking in with him?

Hi I have tried asking at every appointment. Told its unlikely caused by radiation. Told past few times probably neck- saw a physio for that and no. In any event I am finding relief now with CBD THC with 2 mg melatonin. My theory is the location, blood flow lying down. Next MRI due next week. I do not want drugs and no pain at all in day.

Glad your are getting relief.  Maybe try an ENT, or some other type of specialist?  To find the cause.
