I need to come up with a new system, my occipital and trigeminal neuralgia is becoming debilitating. I used to survive a full 10 hour work day in a mask, now a 15 minute doctor appointment leaves me in agony for 2 days.
I've been using masking tape to attach a mask to my face, seems to reduce the pressure on my nerves. I'm going to have to swap to contact lenses because I can't tolerate my glasses either (do they make contacts for astigmatism?)
But my skin isn't loving the constant taping (I was using micropore/tape designed for skin, but I haven't found one that doesn't cause a rash.
Maybe eyelash glue?
Anyone else with facial pain or migraines found a good way to wear a mask without triggering anything?
What kind of masks are you weraring. It seems like a better mask could at least help a lot.
Yeah, the very other end of paper masks is military CRBM gas masks with a particulate filter. These have very little pressure differential and you can go for a jog without noticing the difference (except the added frontal weight on your head). But there's lots of options in between. Painters masks are great too.
