My Battle With Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is often considered the most painful disorder known to mankind. TN (a.k.a. tic douloureux) is a disorder of the fifth cranial (trigeminal) nerve that causes episodes of intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain in the areas of the face where the branches of the nerve are distributed, such as the lips, eyes, nose, scalp, forehead, upper jaw, and lower jaw. This blog chronicles my journey.
