Dragonfly, it sounds like to me what you have is Trigeminal Neuralgia and
you should see your doctor about it and start getting proper treatmenthttp://www.tna-support.org/newlook/definition.htm Please go here and read
about it and see if this fits. I have this, a bit of breeze doesn't cause
me pain, but a light touch does. Incidently I have had FM, but I have never
had myofacial pain.

Hrm, the pain description is accurate for some of the pains I feel,
but it is whole-body, not limited to face. And actually, my face is
normally not painful (aside from my lips, which I tend to bite on when
I'm nervous or stressed, so they're always a ragged mess, but that's
an easily understandable pain!)

This sounds like one of the types of pains that are part of myofascial
pain, though MP is also whole-body. The more I research this and the
more suggestions and comments from others I read about this, the more
it sounds like myofascial pain. Which makes me very unhappy... pain
for no reason other than to hurt isn't something I want to have. And
if it keeps worsening at this rate, I'll end up on terribly strong
opiate pain killers, and that is NOT something I am comfortable
considering at all even for just short periods of time, much less for
daily use :/

Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it when people point me
in new directions.
