G'day, my ms family. I hope all are well on this glorious Sunday afternoon. It is time to watch something infantile on television and whine about my mouth leaking and my face hurting. Welcome to the world of Trigeminal Neuralgia, at least it just hurts not stabs, it has been worse.
Oh well suck it up and mop the floor. After all these years You should already know this, so this is for our newbies. Every single medicine that YOU take has SIDE EFFECTS. Add in several medicines and well YOU can guess. Because YOU have a side effect does not mean the medicine is not working. I took Interferon Beta 1 b For years and often got the post-injection headache. This is a side effect of having a chronic neurological condition. YOU guess what I have. So if YOU are starting a medicine do not quit it or be surprised if YOU have headaches and the like. Read the tiny warning brochure in the box. If YOU have a problem ask about it. I never took my medicine or aspirin on an empty stomach. Think about what YOU are doing, come up with a solution and think about it again.
KnowYOU are your most Knowledgeable advocate, act like it and be strong.
