Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself. I just joined today. Sounds like a great group so I had to join ! My name is Wave or Bette, I actually prefer Wave and I've only had TN for almost 2 years, though it seems like a lifetime. What I can't stand about TN, other than the constant pain in my jaw 24/7 and the occasional (how do I define occasional)????? electrocuting, searing, burning attacks that I suffer, is that no one I know has never heard of TN, let alone knows anyone with it (other than me). Therefore, NO ONE can understand it. I know I've never had a heart attack but I certainly can imagine the absolute agony they must be going through. Why is TN different? Because most people have never heard of it???? That is extremely frustrating to me and why I decided to seek out others, be it online, who can understand and relate to what I go through. Well, just wanted to drop a quick line. Hope to speak to you all soon.
