About Me
Diagnosed not quite a year ago w/TN Type 2. I am a married w/3 children, I work full time as a Sr Exec Asst (w/ a commute of 48 miles one way). I am passionate about my relationship w/ my Lord. Since being diagnosed I have become stronger and closer than ever to Him.
Interests
Getting closer to my Lord. Major Angels baseball fan "GO ANGELS", reading, baking, volunteering at church bookstore, spending time with my family including our three dogs (Ginger the Rot with attitude, Bruiser - Akita mix a lover but don't get between me and my chasing cars along the fence, and Tink - Min Pin/Chihuahua who is a tad spoiled by all).

Hug
Having a strong faith helps me to get through the tough days. I can't do it alone and you aren't doing it alone either. Hope your day is better. Have a good weekend. Becky
Hug
God bless you as you "smile" inwardly through all you are going through. Hugs! Dian
I’m With You
Hang in there sweetie, I know what it's like and a positive attitude is mandatory to get through something like this. Never give into depression, because you'll spiral downward so fast, you won't know what hit you. As my 'hug' says, I'm with you and any time you need support, I'm only a few typing strokes away ... ;) ~ Swan

Close Trigeminal Neuralgia
There is not much to tell. I am trying to live my life to the best of my ability while dealing w/ the uncertainty of day to day living w/ the "normal" pain and "more intese" bouts of pain that make it difficult to function.
Treatments
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Enables me to function with minimal pain. I have to increase it whenever I have a spike in the pain which then leaves me pretty much incompacitated.
Close TMJ
Not only was i diagnosed last year with Trigeminal Neuralgia Type 2, but now it seems that as a result I am clenching my teeth at night and have developed TMJ. I now notice that not only am I clenching my teeth at night but I catch myself doing it during the day. I have seen both a dentist and an ENT dr. The dentist recommended a device that would prevent my jaw from clenching however my ins. will only pay 40%. Now the ENT dr said to eat a soft diet & prescrip. for flexeril to take at night.
Treatments
- Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
- Well, since I can only take it at night due to the side effect of sleepiness, which I already experience w/ my TN meds, it is not easy, also if I do take it, it has to be early evening otherwise I have a hard time waking up for work.
