My husband was diagnosed with PSP in Jan. 2019. He had an MRI after complaining about headaches. The pain has not lessened, and now includes his jaw. He complains that his heads feels like it's going to explode, and it hurts to move his jaw to chew. And he has become sensitive to light and sound! He tales Tramadol for his degenerative spine (after breaking it 40+ years ago) and Carbidopa-Levodopa, neither of which work on the headaches. So, he sleeps most of the time. Anyone else suffer these issues? Any suggestions?

sorry about the difficulty - you must have discussed about medication with the doctor as well but recently I heard about people getting relief with cannabis based products - of course, with a PSP patient it's much more difficult to manage but you can check with his doctor if it's OK to try - there are some ointments, creams and liquids for oral consumption too
I recently saw this and it could give some idea (we don't have such pharmacies where I live) - youtube.com/watch?v=05jEknL...
