Dear Melinda,
I am so with you…I too have had such a poor week with TN and it’ s only Tuesday, right good grief! Despair is what he all feel intally, of course, and that is really OK! I was is a terrible auto accident 8 months ago and could have easily died, but my note is about you! It is OK for your reach out, always!!
If possible be as active as you can be as it will take from you, some of your pain. I am retired and other than seeing docs and physical therapy 3 times per week my mind is very active to get as well physically ASAP. We all will want and will have some answers for us all… about TN. Wishful thinking this evening…you bet… but that is my belief, and it happen!

Melinda, dear, beautiful One…I'm so sorry you're feeling the harshness of this disease. It totally sucks sometimes! While talking with another TN warrior a while back, she commented on how well her pain was being managed. She was surprised she was pain free! Funny thing about this TN…we are surprised when our meds fail and we get excruciating pain and we are surprised when the work and we are pain free.
Remember…take good care of yourself through the peaks and valleys of this. TN may not have any respect, but if we care for ourselves genuinely, we are doing ourselves a HUGE favor :-) I'm praying for you, and hope relief comes soon! Please alert your doc of the changes in pain. They are there to help us to find a way to bring down our pain so we can cope. YOU are a mighty warrior in this, girlfriend!
