Hello,

I think I entered this incorrectly. Yes, I am an IT person but I have never been on a site like this! LOL I have pasted by message below.

I am 41 years old and have recently been diagnosed with TN. I just had an MRI (fun) and am on Neurontin, Baclafen, and Percocet. Obviously, I am on medical leave because I cannot think straight or drive. I belive I have had TN for some time, but just chalked up the pain to cluster headaches caused by stress or sinuses. Eventually, I was struck with pain that sent me to the E.R. Wow, isn't this thing so frustrating? I am on the go constantly with my kids, friends and work. Now, I am at home "stoned" a good portion of the day. My kids and husband are getting quite frustrated with this - and it seems mostly with how it is negatively affecting them. I know it is difficult for them to understand since I don't look "sick".


I have read many of your posts so thought I should introduce myself. I am having a crappy day but your kind posts always seem to allow me to not feel so alone.

So, hello and nice to meet you!

Debbie
