The first time I experienced TN I thought I got struck by lightning through my cell phone. This is the worst pain ever. It angers me knowing that it comes and goes usually during the wrong time of the day or night. There aren’t any warning signs of it and when it happens I wish I could pass out instead of experiencing it. I have lost a lot of friends because they became afraid whenever the attacks occur. They feel helpless. In my case attacks occur often especially after a shower or washing my hair, and after brushing my teeth. A nerve bulges out of my neck and the right side of my face hurts along with my head. Sometimes I feel like wanting to die. I don’t wish this pain on anyone either. Pain killers don’t do anything for me. Neurontin or its generic seems to work well.
