Hi Nancy:

Well, I didn't have noticeable veins in my hands till the last year or so - and I am now 77. And I sure don't have squiggly veins - so the theory doesn't work with me! I think, myself, that it is the drooping of various parts of our bodies that might produce TN - you know, the blood vessel/s drooping againt the trigeminal nerve. That is what I tell myself, anyway.

It is so good to read your writings again, Nancy.
