idk what ssi is... hmmm. thanks for all the help though! i definately needed someone else to talk to that has been going through this too.
i have MS workup next week though, im getting more worried about it. i think i might have some sypmtoms but i really don't know. I also don't know what they are going to do to me, HOPEFULLY just ask questions and not do anything crazy like a spinal tap.

I'm a new user. Trigeminal Neuropathic pain X 4 yrs. I'm sending you a web link. The latest info straight from doctors who know and understand our REAL medical diagnosis. Click here: http://www.texastna.org/NC_Review_fo...ort_Groups.pdf
You probably know more than all your doctors - most important: BE SURE YOU ASK THEM WHAT THEY WILL DO FOR YOU IF THE PROCEDURE FAILS.
Also, appoint somebody RIGHT NOW to be an advocate for you. please listen to me - I've made so many mistakes over the past 4 years. I know it sounds like I'm preaching, but I believe you, I believe your pain. Keep a daily journal, esp. meds and pain level. I'll check on you later. God bless. Janet

Hi Janet and welcome! Thanks for the tips and it's great to see a new face here.

I hope everyone here knows they're not alone.

My TN has been acting up in a bizarre way, I normally have these unholy spasms and electric-shock type of pains on my right side. But now, it's actually gotten to where it hurts to touch the right side of my forehead. It kind of makes my nightly relaxing girl time a PITA (pain in the ***). I like to end my day with this self heating face mask, ohhh, it feels so nice. But now, I shock the crap out of myself when I apply it because I have to touch that side of my face.

To heck with that vile nerve, I tell ya!
