Default 6 years, no relief from TN

Hi everyone,

I've been suffering for over 6 years with TN, nothing has helped. They have tried many types of pills and nothing has brought any relief at all. Unfortunately I've lost me job while they tried all the pills and no longer have any insurance. Now I can't get any help at all. I've tried applying for assistance through SSI and also from medicare but they both turned me down telling me that TN was not a disability. I'm guessing they don't have any idea of what TN is.

My attacks started on the right side of my face about 6 years ago. I had an attack about every 3 months. Then they went away for about 6 months and now they are on the left side of my face. The attacks are now hitting me about every 10 days and lst for about 4-6 days. I also have a non-stop ringing in my ears.

To make matters worse, I am also getting a lot of pain in my arms, legs and hands. It is a similar pain to the TN, although not quite as intense. I'm just glad I found this place with others that understand what I am going through.
