Hey Laurenash,

*huge hug* Your not alone.When i was 17 or 18 and i started to have my TN, I researched and knew it could be that LONG before anyone took my level of pain seriously.
I too felt, well..im too young for this..i was in denial for a long time and somedays i still am..even when the pain is just so bad, i actually think...wellll maybe its in my head, even though i must take meds for it.

Its a hard thing to accept ofc but i read further up someone saying that sometimes you might feel really down.
Its so important to handle it like coming here talking to others or however you may deal with depressive moods because your mind will affect your tolerance for pain greatly. I only joined this forum today hoping for some support. Gosh , im rambling horribly, sorry heh, basically just...*hug* hehe. Take each day at a time

p.s My terrible punctuation etc is alllllll the Tegretol...i used to be smart i promise :P
