First may I say Thank You! Bens Friends has given me a platform to talk with others about my disorder TN. I do not feel all alome anymore. Its also given me an opportunity to share what has helped and what has not. There are always suggestions from others of maybe med combos or so,ething as simple as using a heating pad. Thank hou so much for this forum Bens Friends, I no longer feel all alone.
My Best to all

I am shouting out my thanks to Ben’s Friends too. This is my fourth winter living with TN and I was just about non-functioning. Medicated and in agony much of the time, I could hardly put two words together. Here I have found all of the voices I needed to hear and slowly have found my own again. I have fallen in love with all the stories and all the sharing and all the most excellent tips that have improved my quality of life the past few months. Hats off to you guys!
Peace and Happiness
