How can I make living with atypical facial pain easier?
AFP can be a stressful, frustrating condition. Even though AFP doesn’t have a clear cause, the pain is very real. The first step in learning to cope with the pain is to talk with your healthcare provider about what you’re experiencing. They may refer you to other healthcare providers who can help, such as:
- Dentists.
- Neurologists.
- Pain management doctors.
- Psychiatrists or psychologists.
Other ways to cope with AFP include:
- Join a support group.
- Reduce the stress in your life.
- Stay active and engaged with others.
