I'm a new memeber and I wish to thank all those who welcomed me to the TN Assocation. Your warm and good wishes were very much appreciated. At the moment I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the info etc on the web site but as I become more familiar I hope to be able to contribute.

Actually the TN association is another set of message boards -- but that's okay -- LOL
We hate to welcome people here - wishing you didn't have to come here - but glad you found it!
My 2 best pieces of advise off the top:
(I am well now, but I stick around to help out)
1. Get THE book "Striking Back" by Dr. Ken Casey - has 200+ ways to deal with TN, medically, mentally, naturally
2. Keep in mind you can ask for a topical prescription lidocaine cream or patch for pain that meds don't help out with.
I have 30 more - but I'll leave you with that LOL -- don't forget to put yourself on the map -- Member Map tab!
Keep Posting!
Dolores, take your time, enjoy being a member and shout up for help if you need it!
