Wednesday’s Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Week episode story: (we’ve been encouraged to share a TN episode from the day so that people get details more than “my face hurts”.)
I never know how I’ll wake up each morning (that’s why I often procrastinate going to bed if I’m feeling well). I awoke this morning to what felt like 10 knives sticking out of my right cheek. I gently massaged it only to make it worse. Try 20 knives now. But it’s a new day and there’s work to be done so I get up and move on. The sharp intense pain stayed for about 2 hours and began to subside as the morning progressed – a little more “normal” which, for me, means only a couple of knives worth of pain and a few electric jolts thrown in to make the morning exciting. 🌐💙
**Again, I’m sharing this info to educate the masses for all those with TN. Please don’t take this as a “woe is me”. I’ve accepted the pain, and I’ve had years to adjust to my “normal”.🥴🤪** #tnawareness2019 #beaware #endtn #TNtoday #personalstory
