In Pain 2008
 

welcome glad you found your way to such a comfy helpful site like neuro talk but very sad to learn it is over the ugly pains of T.N.
You are young but I have read of children having this so you are not the youngest that I know of. Do you cover face when outside have you learned what your triggers are, you on any meds, dose it flare up when you have your head reclined back like when you lie down? You need to learn how to do the same things in a different way and or trade one thing for another... like i traded regular silver wear for plastic and use a straw....
if you want to talk or need to vent or for support know that i am here you can message me anytime or post and I will be around to reply back. i got mine when I was 32 .. . I am 41 now
I send many low pain weeks for you many blessings and :hug: hope you are getting your zzzsss in pain2008. and hope to get to know you better too.:)
Peace
