    Thanks for sharing your videos Nyree. I’m early on in my journey but have been reassured by your videos. Thank you. Mostly my struggles, aside from the pain, are trying to balance parenting 3 young children (2 of whom have special needs) and my up and down days. It’s a lot! Thanks for your community. It’s nice to not be alone. x

    Hi, i have Also started to do childhood skills , so distracted a bit more . I have this issue for freaking 28 years now . I refuse to give up And feel sorry for myself . People dont and cant understand at all what we are going through. Wrap up warm And go our Doors And do your own thing go for that Bush walk or run. I cant even take meds seeing as my blood pressure Goes sky high, have landed up in IC fighting for my life a couple of times already.
    Good thing stay positief lovely lady xxx stay grounded

      Then how are you dealing with it from 28 years and do you get sharp attacks means typical trigeminal neurlagia and how often you get attacks and your age now ??

      @@iballslide7604 I go to a therapist Every singel week ( he us best , long waiting list ) And use a special cushion to sleep on. I have attacks Every day , its not easy to live with as you know yourself . Use vitamine B 12 , magnesium, fish oil and vitamin C . All in the evenings also use vitamine D 3. Apparently the omega oils are also good for muscles pains . The vit B 12 is good for the nerve pain and this you also know the two go together when having attacks . Morphine does not even help , it might take a bit off the edge . Due to all of this I hardly sleep . I try to stay positive. Stress is no good for us.
      I am heading on for 60 years old ( Taurus ) but still am young at heart .
      What do you do when you have attacks?
      How old are you?
      I hope this info might help you. Take care xxx

      Hi 👋 I'm not medically trained, but I think you should go back to the neurologist to try a different medication. There are lots of different options out there. 🙏 hoping and praying you can get your pain under control

      Mines started after a Wisdom tooth removal. I have to resort to brain surgery and it’s still not gone. I’m different now but after almost 3 years I’m managing it better to lessen the medication. I stay busy. I talk to a psychologist every month to teach me how to cope with this disease. I’m much better mentally bcz I focus on other things. I try to say busy and not think about the pain. Watch what I put in my mouth as well that may trigger. I keep my mind busy
