Confused too young to have TN

I am 18 years old and have just been diagnosed with TN about 3 months ago. When my first attack happened i thought it was just a face cramp. Then a week later I had another attack that hurt so bad i couldn't even swallow my own spit. My doctors tried to pass it off as a migraine, which i knew that wasn't the case. Then finally after them dancing around the subject they took me to go get a MRI and a CT for my head to see if it was a tumor. Luckily it wasn't. I feel that my doctors and my parents don't take my condition seriously. I was just wondering if there is anyone close to my age that has this rare disease? Even if not i would like to know of people experiences over the years with TN.
