I understand what you are saying. My husband has had TN since 2009. We tried twice to get disability and was turned down. Got new MRI and they said nothing had changed. Yea, tell that to the TN! The pain is still there. We still are struggling with house payments, utilities and they think he is not disabled. He has been disabled since the first strike of pain, when he was not able to work in a factory with loud noises. There is so much more things that just don\'t seem right for one suffering with this. The medication either works somewhat but the side effects are just as dumbing or serious as TN itself. I see this post date and just remember this is the date, in 2009 that our TN suffering began. We have been through so much in the 7 years. All I can say the journey is crazy! I can also lots of things are just not right either.
