I suffer from postherpatic TN and Bell’s Palsy. The TN has been around for 6 years Bells for 2. I work as a nurse and mother of a 17 yr old and a wife. I am so fed up. I feel like I can never have MY moment. Everyone else’s comes first. It’s selfish I know but sometimes I wanna lock myself in a room and mope!!
We all need time just for us so get that diary out and schedule some YOU time to do something that you enjoy.
My favourite is to get in the bath with a book, cup of green tea and let the weariness soak away.
Sending you a big cuddle.

Thanks Trish! It’s so hard being strong so others don’t worry but in turn they tend to forget the suffering I experience.
Hi Kim,
I also think pain is exhausting.
I had a terrible day of pain yesterday and I feel totally exhausted today despite the fact that the pain has eased.
It is so hard to juggle everything and keep all those balls in the air. I can totally relate to covering up pain so family don’t worry, I spent yesterday trying not to let my 86 year old mum see how much pain I was experiencing.
Hang in there.
Hugs
So sorry Kim. I have been that way for several days. I was just diagnosed with TN. I mope around asking...why me? With the statistics of the number of people...WHY ME? I feel like my life is crumbling before my eyes. I am so sorry you do not have any time for you. You HAVE TO make time for yourself. Just tell your family, today is going to be about ME. I hope things get better for you. HUGS XOXO
