Counting Blessings: Managing TN One Day at a Time

Date: November 8th, 2023

As the days turn into weeks, I’ve been diligently following my regimen of supplements, chiropractic care, and essential oils. It’s hard to pinpoint which of these is contributing the most, but the undeniable truth is that I’m managing the pain to a tolerable level thus far. In fact, there have been a few days when phantom pains were minimal or, on occasion, even absent.

However, this morning greeted me with a few phantom pains. Nevertheless, I was well-prepared. I swiftly applied my essential oil concoction, and to my relief, the pain subsided. When you’ve endured a pain as intense as trigeminal neuralgia, you become unrelenting in your pursuit to minimize this excruciating, debilitating force.

So, here I am, counting my blessings and taking each day as it comes. The journey is far from over, but I’m determined to continue seeking relief, experimenting with different approaches, and sharing my experiences along the way.

Thank you for accompanying me on this path, and stay tuned for more updates as I navigate life with Trigeminal Neuralgia.
