Having a flare since I bit my tongue the other day. 😞

TN flare today . 

Five years ago today I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. And for four years now I have been in a remission! My last remission was six years let’s keep going!!!

Wow! That's amazing. Keep on going! You got this in the bag...... or rather in a safe under lock and key. 💪

I sure hope so! It is pretty much a guarantee one day I will come out of remission but I am hoping it is a good long time . 

Having a flare today. 😓🤦‍♀️

I really do think I am also getting the same issue on the other side as well . 🤦‍♀️

Thanks. It happens now and again. It isn’t as painful as an outright full blown flare which lasts for months and about a 12 on the pain scale even with meds but it is enough to hamper happiness and life. 

I think this May I will have been in remission 5 years? I am so grateful for every day not in pain. 

Wow, no 6 years this May! Which was as my last remission. Keep going body! 

I was diagnosed 7 years ago today. And I have been in remission 6 years today as well. 

Way to go, I'm so happy for you.  My stepdaughter has it and I know how terrible it is.

Thank you. I am so very grateful for every pain free day. I know it will return one day but for now so grateful. 

I am having twinges today that I haven’t had in months and months and months. 

Very sorry to hear that.

Today is Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day . 

What is trigeminal neuralgia? Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is a type of chronic pain disorder that involves sudden, severe facial pain. It affects the trigeminal nerve, or fifth cranial nerve, which provides feeling and nerve signaling to many parts of the head and face.
