Trigeminal Neuralgia
by
Brenda


medication, frustration, misdiagnosis...PAIN!

root canals, extractions, lighten bolts...PAIN!

hiding, worrying, afraid, It hits again...PAIN!

doctors, dentists, neurologists, no one knows...PAIN!

no one on the outside can see, no one understands but me.

make it go away, please stop the pain, make it go away before I go insane!

gums burning, teeth aching, it's hurting my face...PAIN!

no warning, no reason, no special time nor place.

no explanation can tell the pain that is felt...when you're hit with TN.

make it go away, please stop the pain, make it go away before I go insane!

the painful realization, makes it very clear... life isn't fair!

MAKE IT GO AWAY! PLEASE!


My name is Brenda, I am 36 years old and I was diagnosed with TN 15 months ago. I am still at the same place I was 15 months ago. I feel that I am getting no where with my present doctor and I am looking for help!!!!!  Any information that could be given to me regarding different directions I maybe able to take would be most appreciated. I'm finding that not many doctors really know about Trigeminal Neuralgia. 

This poem was written one week ago when I was going through a terribly painful reaction with my TN. I just hope there are more people out there like me that feel this way and that I am not alone.
