New to TN and new to Living With TN.org

Hello all, i just want to start with saying how good it is to know there is a site like this where people can talk to one and other regarding TN. Im not sure how the site works so im just going to post a little info about myself and see what happens!!

I knew nothing about TN untill i was misdiagnosed a few week ago.

I am 30, male and live in the UK so any infermation is most welcome, espetialy if your in the UK too.

I have yet to see a nerologyst but i have been plased on meds that seem to be working.

If you have any questions or if you can help better my knowlage on TN, please contact me.

Thank you for your time,

Hello welcome to LWTN I know this site has helped me you should also try buying a book called striking back it is very helpful

Sorry you have this horrible disease I hope you haave many pain free days

Welcome here. I also knew nothing about this terrible disease till I was diagnosed 15 months ago. I am so grateful for this site. My friends here are so compassionate. I will be having MVD surgery this year and hope that it ends my TN journey. I wish you many pain free days

So sorry that you have such a painful disease but glad you found us! Some Advice: It will be hard with the medicine, doctors, and pain management, but don't give up hope. You WILL and ARE a survivor. If people(even family) don't understand when you try to explain to them, don't get too frustrated. Have them look it up if they are skeptical or confused. Most importantly, keep your head up. It will not be an easy journey but we are here for you are you are strong!

Go to groups tab above and go to group from UK!
