Mornin'
Sometimes I think I have a greater number of problems than the next person and it always seems that my problems are greater to overcome than theirs. Well, let me tell you: I have the honor and privilege to witness something extremely courageous in an acquaintance of mine and I am sure your problems will seem less harsh after you hear what he goes through on a daily basis. For a quick education, visit the Mayo Clinic website. This will give you a brief description of the disease.
Suffice to say, my friend suffers frequent bouts with excruciating pain the basically render him unable to function properly until the pain subsides. Headaches are nothing compared to the devastating sensations caused by having TN. Again, I learned that the problems I face on a daily basis are no where near as painful and debilitating as those suffered by others.This man is a hero to me and I often wonder what I can do to alleviate his suffering. The short answer is "not much". After brain surgery to alleviate the disease, symptoms returned within a year. He has had some relief but the pain is still unbearable at times.
Please keep my friend in your thoughts and please remember that, although our problems seem unbearable at times, there are plenty of other people who struggle and suffer with their problems far more than we could ever imagine.
Peace
