Hi, i also have had to give up work i am only 26! i am a hairdresser, i have bilatereral tn and occiptical neurralgia as well i got tn from a severe case of bell's palsy which i think was wrongly diagnosed they couldn't determine if it was ramsays hunt syndrome. i therefore cant have surgery or botox to help my pain as it could cause paralysis again! i have tried pretty much all of the recommended meds and haven't been getting alot of relief i also have accupuncture which helps a bit! i feel pretty silly only being 26 and having so many health problems we are too young to have this horrible pain! i also suffer from hemi facial spasms and i have hypercausis in my left ear so i cant handle much noise at all!

Feel free to vent thats what we all do here it helps us feel better!
low pain wishes to everyone!
Melina
