Hello to those of you who remember me. Its been awhile since I have been on here so I figured I would give y’all and update.
Well I made my husband leave me. He was cheating on me since I could not be the “wife he needed”. Which basically left me struggling to find a way to pay the bills and get food on the table. I had to stop taking my tegretol so I could find and hold down a job.
My TN is no better, I have just gotten better at hiding it to my family and even my doctors. My problem is if I take the meds I can’t work, if I can’t work I cant survive. You all understand I hope.
Since my last MRI they have found 1 lesion on my brain that they think could be the start of MS.
I know everything will be OK one day. And I want to thank all of you that were there for me in my times of need with sweet words of comfort and encouragement.
I love you all.

Sounds like you have been through the ringer! But it also sounds like you have a positive attitude and it seems that is half the battle. Do you have any other symptoms of MS?

Hey Lil-bit,
First off here is a huge HUG. You have been throught the ringer. I totally understand the hard choices we often have to make when it comes to the TN. My only concern is that being off your medications you are in horrible pain, but I respect the whys and how comes to why you made the descsion you have.
You are very much in my heart and prayers.

I don’t the pain, it reminds me I’m alive. Some days are worse than others but I manage.
Jamie- Yes I do. Numbness in my legs and arms, difficulty doing math even though math has always been my best subject.
Life isn’t easy for anyone. So why should I be any different.
My husband made his choices and so did I. I may have been incapable of “satisfying him” but to me it showed me that he didn’t really love me.
I’m only 23 and have a lot of life to experience. And no damn amount of pain (physical or emotional) is going to stop me.
Lil-bit,
I am so sorry. I knew you were going through a lot of pain and you are so young. And now with a possible MS diagnosis, it must be very hard. I know how it is to try to hide the pain from family and friends, but don’t from the doctors. Maybe there is a medication or procedure that can be tried. Don’t give up hope. And please email me anytime. Keep all of us posted. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
