Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Julie, If you go to a structural therapist, like a Rolfer or some one like that, they have techniques of working inside the mouth along the pallet, and in the nasal cavaty to help open it up (give them more space). Some of it is uncomfortable, not unbearable. You'll need someone with experience, but I think you will be able to find a great deal of releif. You can go type in Rolfing or Rolfer on a search engine and be able to find one. I think the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO lists their practitioners by state. There is also a place called the 'Guild' that does similar work. I think they are in Colorado as well.

I currently take major pain killers for a more jaw/facial pain - vicodin and percacet (sp?) because my headaches/jaw/face pain is so intense. It's not tmj, more of a narrow upper jaw which they are saying might have to be surgically altered. So.... I need all the help i can get on natural muscle relaxers and pain relief... I HATE taking medications, and they don't always work... even the heavy duty pain pill doesn't do anything... so you know that the pain is intense..... Sorry to rehash all the ideas you all have put forward, but maybe with a little bit of history on me, you all might have some good suggestions... I have tried Lavendar oil on my neck/face for relief... that only works for about 10 minutes... I do use a nasal pot with warm salt water to give me sinus relief (which is all intertwined in this mess)... Help???

When I feel a migraine coming on, or start to have the halo vision I take one or two of them. Not the time release kind, the regular kind. It definately lessons the headaches! It makes your skin flush and "prickle" but that passes after a bit. Hope this helps you, you have my sympathy. tangherbal remedies , "Stacy Wilson" <dragn_lady wrote:>> I know this has probably been bantered about for awhile now.
