The Demon in my head

Today marks one year of the pain that I didn't know would change my life forever.  It started in the back of my head as a tingle-like feeling and on my eyebrows.  It almost felt like when your foot is asleep so every time I touched those spots it was annoying.  I had no idea what was going on or the diagnosis I would be getting in the weeks to come.  I didn't do anything different, it was actually the last day of fall break so we were around at the campground and home.  One slight tingle in my head turned into the worst types of pains.  After several doctors appointments and my MRI the news was I have Trigeminal Neuralgia.  Doesn't sound so bad right??  Well no actually it sucks!! They call it the most excruciating pain of man kind.  Did I mention it's called THE SUICIDE DISEASE!  There is NO CURE...meds can only help maintain the pains you get from it, when and if you find the right ones...surgery can help but not always...the list can go on and on.  No reason for why I got it.  So now what?  Well here I am a year later and still trying to figure it out.  So as you get to now be apart of this so called demon in my head welcome aboard!!
