Hi Anna, YOu sent me a message back in May and I have been terrible about checking the TN site. But I suffer from Hemifacial spasms and you had said your face looked similar to mine. I tried the botox and it paralyzed the spasms for the last 3 months but I looked like I had a stroke but enjoyed not having the facial cramping but still was left with the TN pain and Occipital pain. The botox is wearing off now and the twitching is coming back I can even feel it spaz in my neck now, so I am a bit worried. Would love to talk with you as well... I will make sure to check the site more frequently too! Thanks Linnette Lee

Your picture looks like a handful of the ones taken of me.

Nice to meet you Anna I hope you are having a good pain free day <3

yoga is the best!

Hi Anna. Hope you're feeling well. I just joined. Finally a place where others can understand what this is like. How long have you been a member?

Thank you for answering my questions on the therapy. I was given the name of someone in NY to try. We had contacted him before my pain got really bad. I agree, when my emotions are all over..my pain is all over too! Which is frustrating. I stress myself out very easily. I try so hard not to, but it is hard. At the moment I am just so stressed about how out of control my pain is. It is just a vicious cycle. I try to keep myself distracted. I work some and that helps. I am taking one class, but it ends this week.
I never heard of cranialsacral therapy to help with autism! My dream would be to open up my own school to help children with autism. I have been reading lots of books on autism recently, but never heard of that. Thank you for sharing that with me!
Last night I did not sleep. Each time I tried my face was just like "hello ally, don't think you are going to fall asleep" UGH.

Btw I love yoga too. Twice a week for me.

As for the craniosacral therapy..is it painful? how many sessions does it take? How has it helped you? I am sorry you didn't sleep last night..last night was the first night in a LONG time that I actually slept. It has been very windy here today so I haven't been able to go out much, when I did..it was no fun! Oh gosh! YEs, the MVD's videos are very graphic..I watched them after I had mine..it doesn't bother me now..I just think its cool lol. If it is what you feel is right for you, don't let it scare you away.
