Trigeminal Neuralgia

I was diagnosed with this about 3 years ago.  It is VERY painful and frustrating to deal with.  I guess I just wanted to post something about it today since I have been having really bad "attacks" the past couple of days and today has been a BAD day.

I also belong to a support group online which helps out as well and I do not feel like I am alone with this disorder.
