hi all, im new to this group and only got diagnoised with TN last thursday. i must say im a little scared with it all. ive been researchig alot, but alot of the sites ive viewed have said that most people who get TN are over the age of 50, im only 22. ive been put on carbamazepine and its been making me feel pretty groggy and out of it so have had to have a couple days off work. fortunately i only work3 days but ive got a little girl so unfortunately its not made me any fun for her! im just wanting a little help in understandin the condition, my partner doesnt understand at all and thinks that im over exagerating when ive had the pain, he either doesnt understand that ive got tn for good or he doesnt want to admit it. has anyone else had any problems with partners?
