Had a nice Christmas was very sick the day after chirstmas severe headach, just so glad to find this support group on line. was beoming very fustrated, with this pain . Thank you for your support and understanding nice to know some one who can relate and understand.Thank you Stef !!!for all your support hope you are doing good and had a nice Christmas .
Think I was tense all christmas day, was frightened the pain was going to spoil my friends day ( we had booked for a meal out just 4 of us me, my hubby and two close friends ) Got through Christmas day but had pain really bad in the night. Also we had grandsons on Christmas eve gave them a good time, let them run riot, think I just did too much, and I paid for it, my TN does like to remind me that’s it’s in charge. This group is good you know you are not alone. Hope your pain has eased now. Margaret.
You're welcome, Shirley!
Surprisingly enough, maybe enough natural endorphins were in my system due to the happiness of seeing my 7 yr. old get her new bike, that I had less pain than on most days. Some days are better than others. We had a genuine white Christmas here, which hasn't happened for awhile! Strange though, and ironic, that I too, was sidelined the day after Christmas, and two days before behind my left eye. I wondered if I should have been in the ER or not, but I am a bit better today.
Different things work for different people, as far as therapy is concerned. A person with classic TN1 is a friend of mine on on another online group. After multiple Rhizotomies, complications and years of fighting this battle she is quoted to me as saying, "Morphine and Lyrica were my miracle. I hope you find yours.". She claims to be, for the most part, asymptomatic. That is ultimately what we are all aiming for, a return to normal life as much as possible, right? It's true, I'm still looking for the fine tuning of what works for me. But, I will say the same thing to you. The right combination of therapy, whether it is surgical or medicinal, some relief, and some quality of life for you has to be out there. So, here's hoping you find your "miracle".
Just take it day by day. I hope this New Year brings you more of the relief and answers you need.
Hugs,
Stef
