Hi Shezbut,

I'm so sorry to hear about your TN diagnosis. I have trigeminal neuropathy, which is not exactly the same thing, but it is similar. I wondered if you have been able to talk with a neurologist about your TN, and start any treatment? It is a really tough diagnosis, but there are some treatments which can really help for many patients. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the right treatment for each person.

Have you also heard of the Facial Pain Association? They are an excellent resource if you are in the United States. You can look them up online.

Sending lots of good wishes to you. Please hang in there, and take gentle care of yourself.

Take care,
Erin
