I have a nasal irrigation kit. Basically, it's just a squeeze bottle that you fill with lukewarm distilled water and a packet of salt and baking soda combined. It has helped the sinuses, but the oral tenderness is still there. The teeth are a bit more sensitive, but not outright painful. And yes, I did notice the presence of what seemed to be swollen glands this time, although that is not common with this for me. The doctor told me the nasal irrigation was better than most medications, because medications seem to work less than 20% of the time, and they feel the majority of those cases would have resolved themselves without any medications at all, plus the irrigation system is affordable and without side effects. I think the information on TrP's is especially helpful, Dini, so thank you so much for doing the research on that!! This could explain why I have an increase of head and neck pain at this time that I may be interpreting as a worsening of fibro symptoms when it is related to the TrP's. However, I AM experiencing increased fibro pain at this time in the lower back and hips. It's probably one of those fibro things where it cycles...the fibro makes something worse, and that in turn makes the fibro worse.
I very much appreciate everyone's input and help on this!!
