Fowki, I am glad to here from you. Not too many people understand this delima. The words "You are not alone"
are very powerful words and can mean so much to someone who really needs to hear it. The fear of being alone can be such a tragedy.
I can't sleep on the numb side as well, cause of the way it feels. Not at all comfy. At first I used the heating pad but now use ice.
Have you experienced WHITE NOISE in your ear? Sometimes it can get loud and very annoying. When I said something to the Doc, he said "Turn up the T.V."and drown it out. Ya right!
When I was initially diagnosed with T.N. my Doctor said to me "You know people used to commit suicide when they had this". I said "really". It kind of went in one ear and out the other. I knew this had nothing to do with me.I dismissed the thought. Ten years later I lay in the pain unit between surgeries at Mayo clinic. I begged the Lord to
take me. I remembered the words the Doctor told me.
