Hi Everyone.
Just thought I would pop in because although I am still a TN patient I am not at this point in my life a TN sufferer :)
I am not sure what happened or why I sometimes might get really mild pain but nothing like I first experienced TN, I thought I was going to die.
I haven't read through my original posts as I think that might be just as bad as being back at that stage of my life.
Although I am 100% luckier than many sufferers but have no real answers as to why I got the pain.
I now take eplimn but only when I have a stressful or rundown week but only 500mg as a once off instead of the 1000mg I am meant to take a day.
I guess I have done things to help my face.
Minimised stress
Lost 15kgs in the last 9 months which has been my best pain free period.
Any onset of a coldsore I start antivirals as my TN was closely related to my Bells palsy
Not sure what else to say but I didnt think I would be like this when I first joined this forum back in 2010.
I guess there is hope, I know this forum helped and scared the crap out of me when I first got sick but I am grateful it was here also.
Fingers crossed for every other sufferer
good for you! Enjoy!!
