some info here with regards to Trigeminal Neuralgia
~ http://www.tna.org.uk/ ~
there is a forum on the site ..

i have no idea if the following is of any use in your case ..
however ..

re sinus' ..
i've had periodic nasty headaches since i was a child ..
it doesn't happen too often .. but when it does it's awful ..
i've never been able to figure what causes those sinus headaches ..
( nasty pain .. and extreme sensitivity to sound and light .. )
and .. it almost feels like having the flu in some respects ..

only since i've been on the internet have i been able to figure it ..
i've always felt there might be a connection with the weather ..
so i started to check the weather patterns ( surface air pressure ) when these headaches occur ..
turns out they coincide with air pressure fronts .. ...
see this link .. and note the thick black lines .. and the other 'fronts' ( in red and blue )
~ http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/surface_pressure.html ~
the worst for me are the thick black lines ( pressure troughs ) ..
when one is overhead at my locale .. i get a severe sinus headache ..
researching what low air pressure does to the mucus membranes and sinus passages ..
well .. suffice to say .. the flu like symptoms and nasty pain behind the eyes is explained ..
( i do have one sinus passage that is crooked
( and as a child it was decided an operation to fix it was too risky
the pain can last from a few hours to a few days .. and always co-incides with those air pressure fronts ..
the only thing that helps is Aspirin .. no other type of pain killer has much effect in my case ..

re mucles and nerves ..
i have a damaged disc in my lower back which sometimes leads to crippling back pain ..
my solution .. when my back goes out big time .. is continious use of ice packs ..
a chiropractor explained it to me as follows ..
when a back muscle is traumatised .. and aggravates a nerve ..
1 .. the body send extra blood to the muscle .. hence the inflamation
2 .. the inflamed muscle causes pressure on the related nerve ..
3 .. the pain causes the body to send even more blood to the muscle ..
so it becomes like a never ending circle .. untill the muscle is relaxed somehow ..
4 .. it takes a few days for a back muscle to relax ..
hence the use of ice packs .. as the cold reduces the flow of blood to the muscle ..
and the inflamation is reduced thus taking pressure off the nerve ..
Aspirin also helps a bit .. as it thins out the blood ..

Hi Happy Dragon,

Sorry I didn't see your mail. Thank you for giving me advice.
Normally I print it all and then study what can I do.

I feel very tired or have very cold face since don't have tablets from UK, they use to help me: for mucus membrane decongestion and the same time for muscle spasm. They are snow white and have hydrochloride. I have seen that hydrochloride makes muscles softer.
Now I take some Austrian B-Vitamin: for muscles and nerves. I don't have pains (in the morning) but my face is like a ice. I had all blood and urine testing. Everything is ok only I have many bacteria’s in my urine. The more water I drink the more I feel cold.

I see that you are talking about chiropractors: I have been visiting them from 1996 until 2002. Only one Neurologist has helped me. Nobody else.

About weather: you are right. It is worst when outside is moisture. Then I feel sleepy and for nothing.

Kind greetings,
Buena
