I thought taking more Neurontin would help the pain. It did for 2 to 3 weeks. I’m having up to three attacks a day and one almost every night. My depression is getting worse. I don’t know how to cope with this blasted pain. I go back to my Neurologist the 13th. Maybe he can help maybe not. From what I’m getting it sounds like the only thing that can really help the pain is surgery. I try so hard to be positive but feel I’m losing that battle. I don’t talk about my TN to anyone. I don’t think anyone will understand. I broke down to my husband last night and cried and cried. I had a hard week. I don’t ever want to feel sorry for myself. I pray that God will make me a stronger person.

Hi Sasha ~ I just saw your entry and thought \"thank God, I\'m not alone!\" There is absolutely no one here who has this awful thing. People look at me with an empty look in their eyes ~ almost like they don\'t believe me. I\'ve been going to work every day, but I look so awful because I\'m so tired from the pain. When I read about other people who have TN I don\'t feel quite so alone. The pain doesn\'t go away but at least I know you understand. I am praying for you Sasha ~ DianJ.
