Thank you for writing this... This puts in words what my husband does for me but it is nice to have it for others to read...

Hello damyers, nice to meet you hopefully your having a low pain time .
I wanted to say I did not write the caring for someone with t.n.. post above it is from the book striking back I believe and actuly got its from a fellow t.n. person Tracy who is a right arm angel helping t.n.a. across the pond. Many Blessings to her!!!
Just thought it is good up here so new ones can use it to help others (family friends g.p.) ... understand cus talking hurts sometimes easy to print it and share. .
May you have a Merry Christmas and BRIGHT New Year.
Peace

until recent flare of facial pain & other symptoms marked the return of TN in my life no "need" to come to this forum, as I've felt w/ other topics @ NT
but now.... remember why TN is referred to as "suicide disorder"

Bless and thank you all... for sharing so much here....


tho I've not been thru as much as many here-- I do empathize w/ the stress , fears & frustrations of dealing w/ medical & other systems; pharmecutical trial & error, and other failed interventions--that either do nothing or worsen the condition. and numerous misunderstandings & misconceptions [ignorance?]


I"ll be sharing this , including the personal experiences, w/ my family & concerned others... TN does have "unique" issues, but much shared here is relevant to & for those who suffer with or care for someone w/ a chronic debilitating condition, esp. "invisible disabililitys"

with this flare of TN, been trying to explain how intense, horrible, debilitating and depressing... combined w/ other disorders = dysfunction, despondancy, and more.... PAIN near the brain is awful. but TN may be one of the worst ...
my family has been wonderful in trying to understand, support & cope w/ my various disorders which include TBI-Traumatic Brain Injury, "mixed" headaches and other chronic pain & neuro disorders.
despite how it often feels, I am Blessed, in so many ways--Family tops List--including this extended cyber Family @ NT.
Now, esp. during this holiday season that can evoke stressors & challenges, need to focus more on those ....
BLESSINGS....
wishing ALL the Best...
