What else is wrong with us all?!
 

Hello everyone?!

Just thought i'd ask, I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, but i also have Intracranial Hypertension just wondered what is a matter with you if you have any other complaints as i know usually things come hand in hand xxx

take care xxxxxx:confused:

What else is wrong with us? I can only speak for myself, of course, but the only thing wrong with me is MS, which as far as any Dr. can tell all my TN pain is caused by the MS. I'm also in the midst of menopause, but I think I'm pretty "normal" otherwise.:D

I have TN and am diabled with a fair few things all of them odd or so my spcilists say LOL. Hope you are copeing Donna. (((((((((((((((huggs)))))))))))))) Jackie xxxxxx

WELL...... i'm trying to figure out why i've got TN, :rolleyes:

I've got this idea that my IIH could have something to do with it as the trigeminal nerve starts way up there in the good old brain, so figured if the pressures high in there and squeezing my brain, surely it's possibly for this nerve to be being squeezed or lent on too right!?

I'm due to see my GP in a couple of weeks for a review on my Gabapentin tablets anyway so i will ask him but i just wondered, as i've figured everything else out myself!. I found the IIH by going to the optician for an eye test which discovered the flammation of the optic nerves, which got me sent for an MRI which found the IIH which saved my eye sight and my life!!

I would think there could be a link with T.N. and your IIH . The pressure would , could ... affect the Trig nerve I would think but I am not a Dcotor or professional.
As far as me... I got mine from accident and have knee back and neck issues but nothing that bad . my head injury from accident the worst of all the others. oh yeah like Catch .. BMW getting into menopause sota kinda. . .oh the joy :rolleyes: .

I have restless leg syndrome, acid reflux disease, anesthesia delorosa, the hospital shared their MRSA with me when I was in there two weeks for a major surgery. I also brought influenza B.home with me. I fell and broke my pelvis and had a real severe siatic attack.One leg became shorter than the other so I now have a cane. I'm losing my hair,I got fat and I lost my teeth. I get pneumonia on a regular bases. I slammed the car door with my hand in it and the pain was 10
on the scale. We didn't put the night light out and as it was pitch black in the house, I fell over one of the dogs. He then
Bit me. So anyway have a good day.........Doodle bug7

OH MY GOSH doodlebug!!:eek:

That's one big list of woes! you poor thing!:hug: XXX

i hope you hae recovered from the dog bite at least?! XXX as the other things may take a while longer to sort xx :hug:

It is a load, isn't it?. Well I am the one in the family that keeps things interesting but in a not so good way. Here is another one. Day before yesterday, my dog (great dane) caught a cat and brought it into her pen. I just about had a heart attack when I saw what was happening and started yelling at her to drop it. She did but I could tell that the cat was quite injured. My heart went out to it and he/she looked up to me as if to say " help me". I thought, "Oh God, don't let this be happening".I didn't have my cane with me so I had both hands free to scoop him up and I headed for the gate with him in my arms.I thought that I would never reach the gate area, as I was limping all the way. In my head I was thinking about what to do with him next, call the vet? Put him in the house, put him in the truck? As I was thinking all this I didn't realize that kitty was about to let me know what he thought about the rescue.
I never saw it coming as he sunk his fangs deep into my flesh.
OOOOOOOOOHHHH my god, I was in the cluthes of an injured,
deranged cat and I was his target. Out of instinct I threw him
from me but his latch on my hand lasted an eternity. He actually
r a n under the truck. Thank god he let go! As I started dripping blood, my husband said " go in the house and tend to your wound and I will watch the cat".To make a long story short, the cat died and I ended up at urgent care for a tetnus shot and a round of antibiotics. We had to take the cat to our vet and they send it out to be tested for rabies, etc. It has only been a few weeks ago that I closed the truck door on my hand. The door was totally shut with my hand in it. The pain was unbelievable.
I don't know what is next but if I see an animal hurt I sure will be more cautious. Bless, Doodle bug7
