This blog, my first and only one, started as a diary of my wonderful retirement,but very quickly became an account of my ups and downs with trigeminal neuralgia. If you do read it, don't feel sorry for me. There are people whose condition is much worse than mine. I'll let you know when to feel sorry for me.

MY TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA 14
Pain has increased again today with my teeth appearing to be the trigger this time. Probably around 7/8 on the pain scale. Already on the maximum meds so will just need to put up with it. I couldn't manage to run my dad to hospital today so that became another job for my wife on top of the ones she has with her own parents. I probably read too much, but I found another statistic that 50% of people who have ths condition for over 2 years commit suicide. I'm now into my sixth year and have not had any suicidal thoughts as yet. There's a positive and a half for you. I really must make an appointment with the doctor.
