I was diagnosed with TN this afternoon however the doctor was unwilling to discuss the disease or any treatments with me until i had an MRI, i found all my google searches to be extremely unsettling if anyone is willing to take a little time out to have a conversation with me about TN and what i may be looking at in the future i would be most appreciative, please message me privately and we can chat or whatever you feel most comfortable with
