The short version..
I am 28 and I have been diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia in July 2013. My G.P actually diagnosed the condition within minutes, and a Neurologist confirmed the diagnosis last September. I am lucky that I have received such excellent medical care, and I am currently trying to control my TN with various medications. (I am basically trying them all to see if any work)
My aim is to promote awareness, and make people understand. On the outside, I look fine, but internally my face feels like it's burning constantly and I get electric shock attacks several times a day. The pain is the worst that I have ever experienced.
This blog is a place where I sometimes vent, try and give some information and chronicle my continuing battle with Trigeminal Neuralgia. If anyone reads this, I would be grateful for their input. Any suggestions about promoting awareness in Ireland (and around the world) would be gratefully appreciated!
