I experienced my first migraine at age 6, so I’ve been on this wild ride for more than twenty years now. But in November 2003, my migraines became much, much worse for no easily identifiable reason. Ever since I’ve been trying to find the right combination of preventatives and have a somewhat normal life. It is hard work being sick and trying to get well, but I’m hanging in there.

I blog about migraines and depression at http://migraineur.blogspot.com. Writing helps keep me sane.

Hi, my name is Sara and I suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have learned a lot about this disease since my diagnosis in 2003 and have made a lot of research in order to help myself as well as others cope with it. Right now I am in remission, but I have joined this list to see how I can be of help to other sufferers. One of my goals has been to create awareness among the medical community, because it seems not many of them are knowledgeable about TN.

Hello to all, I am 27 and have had Trigeminal Neuralgia since July 7, 2006 at 6am sharp. I have been diagnosed with both TN and ATN since July 17, 2006. I had a MVD procedure done August 28, 2006 and unfortunately was unsuccessful. I would like to find more people to talk to that have Trigeminal Neuralgia.

I was diagnosed with Rheumitoid Arthritis in 12/2003. Just prior, I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, and my Rheumitologist believes my RA is actually Sarcoid in the joints. I have tried many different protocols, but still have not been able to wean off Prednisone. I am now on Remicade and Methotrexate. I would like to share information with others who have had similar experiences.

I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus in October 1992. Six months later I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. At the present time I am having a hard time dealing with this stupid disease. I am getting a second opinion tomorrow from a rheumatologist in another city. I feel my present rheumatologist just is not giving me adequate pain control and I do not feel my Lupus is under control. I feel my health is going down hill fast and my present rheumatologist just does not seem to be taking me seriously. I am hoping this new rheumatologist will be able to help me.

I have been diagnosed with TN for about 5 yrs now. I am currentlt on Carbatrol 300 mg 3 x a day and have been completly pain free for the past year. But from everthing i’ve read, nothing lasts forever, and am dreading the day the pain comes back.

I am the author of the only book on the first person experience of living with and struggling against trigerminal neuralgia.
My pain started in 1979 so my experience has encompassed most of the medications, therapies, and surgeries.
If this group is as supportive and helpful as the Yahoo group I would very much like to be a part of it.
Thank you.
