Time flies when you're having fun ...

Or tying to have fun. : ) 

Life has been very difficult. I have missed a lot of work and usually when I am home I am able to do something I enjoy; but I've either not felt well enough or been too tired to do much. 

Wednesday I have my long postponed (due to one health prob or another) oral surgery. The mystery lump in my mouth is going to be removed and biopsied. I am actually looking forward to getting it over with! My neurologist said I shoudl start the Lyrica as a precaution because it will probably rattle the TN up. The oral surgeon agreed ~ so I guess it's back on that merry-go-round.

The pain in my legs is so bad at times it nauseates me. I'm just a barrel of laughs to be around right now! The meds my neuro gave me (muscle relaxers for spasicity) give me migraines! Yikes! I'm a mess!

I figure 2008 HAS got to be a better year than 2007. (although the way '08 has started isn't too promising). Enough of a pity party! When I was first diagnosed with TN  ~ I thought life was awful and it got better. So, this too shall pass. We all have moments when we feel like we are in our own personal Hell ... just gotta crawl out ... and have faith God will pick me up again and again and again ....
