Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal Neuralgia
I started with TN when I was 38 years old.  I thought I had a sinus infection.  I was bed ridden for 3 days.  If I moved any part of my body my face hurt.  Thanks to my DRs I was lucky to find out faster than most and start with TN meds.  I have Neurologists in Grand Rapids and at the University of Michigan.  They have advised against surgery or Gamma Knife until the pain becomes too much and my meds stop working.  I have TN on both sides of my face.  I have 4 children, 20, 18, 14 & 10.   I have been married for 20 years.  I work full time.  Praying for a cure for all of us TN sufferers.  Wishing you a pain free day ❤
