I had an attack of the pain today. Over and over again. The left side thought it’d make an appearance and try to out-do the right side. Over and over again.  It was a pretty close contest. I’m not even 100% sure which won, but it may have been the left side, which is a first! It’s currently shooting down my cheek and across my jaw. Over and over. It feels like it starts in and around my ear, like someone’s has jabbed an ice-pick into my ear, then they pull it out and hammer it back in, out, in, out, in, over and over again. It’s just one jab after another. It is just awful. I HATE it!! I’ve been trying to act like everything is “okay” all day, but it’s just too damn bad right now. It is so jarring and constant. “Jab! Jab! Jab!” Over and over. I had hoped that the laser would be helping by now. I had so much invested in it. After all I read about it, I was super hopeful. Yet, days like this fill me with doubt. Over and over…

To help with research and treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the World Health Organization (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health Topic List”!

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
