Hi Kathy, My pain is the temple area called the Trigeminal Nerve Disorder. There is a place on this forum for Trigeminal Nerve Disorder. How I describe it is like an icepick stuck in that area between the eye and ear. It can cause numbing of that side of face 1/2 of the face. My Dr. a neuro said it's usually on one side or the other.
I guess I do talk about the Limbic system a lot LOL
Actually the Limbic System is a different part of the brain and it controls short term memory loss, a loss of words while talking , forget the word we were going to use. That's the way my Dr. explained it.
Someone on the other forum, before it went down had TN and had an operation at the Mayo Clinic. It went bad and he was unable to practice law for years. He had a surgeon that it was his first operation. Naturally he was devasted. I've always wonder how he is doing. After a few years he offered to work free for another attorney and came in to the office on his own terms. Sounded like a nighmare.
Kathy, I'm so sorry you are suffering from this. What are you taking?
Hope you have a low pain weekend. Your friend, loretta with soft hugs
