Since my forties, I have suffered with trigeminal neuralgia (awful facial pain). Andrew was a great comfort to me but now that he has gone, I am all alone trying to cope with this.
I am currently suffering a painful flare-up while trying to survive and work.
Drinking, eating, talking all trigger the jolts of pain in my face.
I am so depressed and feel totally alone and forgotten by the world.
I am sorry to post this on this forum, but you are the only people who listen and care.
Hi Sonia,
Sorry to hear you are having a flare up. I hope it goes away swiftly. I am sad to hear you are so depressed and feeling alone. Sending love to you and hoping you will feel better soon. Kind regards Michela xx
Not a flare up, but i had my COVID booster this week which always makes me feel a little rough. Usually mum would take me and be on hand for anything/just be with when feeling a bit meh. I didn’t realise how difficult I’d find not sending her a photo of my vaccine sticker, or not knowing who my next of kin is now. I felt very daft crying at my little sticker in the middle of the pharmacy
When in pain everything hurts more, including grief. I hope you’re slowly less achey and able to get some relief from the pain and grief, even if only temporary.
