Hi @am724,
Welcome to Living with Facial Pain! We’re glad to have you to connect with this community. My name is Elana and I’m one of the Ben’s Friends interns for this site. I’m sorry that you have had to struggle with so much pain alone. I hope that joining this community will help you and maybe bring you some relief. I saw in your profile that you are aiming to get into a Practical Nursing program. How’s that going for you? Hopefully, it works out. As a good starting point, maybe consider introducing yourself to other members of the community by creating your own discussion post. All you need to do is click on the “+ New Topic” button to start a post. There are also a few useful tutorials under the “New User Help” tab that could help to clarify some of the site’s functions and rules if there is any confusion. Please feel free to reach out if you think of any questions about the site.
Wishing you all the best,
Elana
