Looking for anyone in the southern California area for local support. I went to a near by chronic pain support group and was asked for a membership fee. Are you kidding me I need emotional support not a club house dues. Just about every I look up is to far or I need the right medical insurance. This is bologna and not the Oscar Myer kind that stuff rocks. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/ben_facialpain/original/2X/3/31265f89c705be1df2231612bb156f72fb76e466.jpg) ---

Hi Nicholas, I have been dealing with TN since September and also am looking for support. I did not realize there were support groups, or at least I have not looked for any. I’m in Los Angeles. ---

I’ve been in hell for a long time now and I believe I’m going to be losing my wife and my family soon because of this. My wife tells me that I’m not the same person I used to be but she doesn’t really understand that this changes people. I’ve been a stay-at-home caregiver for her for the last 10 years because she has lupus no immune system and seizure disorder. She says that I need to make a change for the better but I keep asking for her to try and understand but it’s hard with someone who has Asperger’s ---

Did you look at the facial pain association? In considering joining, although its $50 a year for membership. Not sure if this is the one you previously mentioned. ---
