@Motherhen hi there, I am happy to introduce you to the wonderful community of Living With Facial Pain! How’s the weather there in Kent right now? I am from the Philippines and the weather here’s quite gloomy at the moment, which is very unusual since it’s summer already. It’s sad to know that you’ve been going through that pain for 18 years now and I hope that you’re feeling any better at the moment. How’s life during the pandemic? I hope everything’s going well.
I’ve noticed that you’ve already responded to one of the threads posted. So, I guess it would be so much if you could create your own discussion thread as well! You can do this by going to the home page of the community and then look for the “+” button in the right quarter. After creating your thread, just click the “Create Topic” button. If you like browsing other topics, just click the search icon (top right), and it will give the information you needed! If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out. 
Eymie
