Ode to Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN)

   
 

By Lisa Hart 5 Sept 2007
For all those with TN & those that just don't understand

Why does my face hurt
Why don't my eyes squirt
Why is my face on fire
Oh this illness is dire

My face turns red the purple and burns
OH how my face sometimes churns
My eyes take on a glaze
My nerves are now a maze

Can you stop this pain
I want off this illness train
You just don't understand
This pain I cannot withstand

The face hurt more than 5,000,000 boxes of pins to grin I want to feel the air , snow, and rain on my facial skin

TN makes you wish you were dead
Trigeminal Neuralgia it's not in your head It the disease also known as "suicide Disease"
That can bring the strongest to their Knee's

I wish this disease was banned
Another moment I can't stand
I have suffered for so long
I want comfort is that wrong

Must I live each day in Pain
from damaged nerves by the brain
Must the signals get mixed
I want this problem nixed

Surgery doesn't always work
then the face will still twitch & jerk
How long must we suffer
I don't care that it makes us tougher

If you could have it for just one day
I wonder how often you would pray
That you could just pass away
because the nerves do not obey

Face full of fire then lightning strikes It strikes the face in pain with huge eye spikes Can you handle this and go to play Will a smile on your face stay

Do you not comprehend
The pain that I am in
I smile, laugh and joke
My face nerves, and brain are broke.

Please hear us as we silently cry
With only our dogs loving eyes
They are to afraid to touch
They know the pain is such

No matter how I describe this to you
it does no go so I bid you adieu


Wrote in so much pain I couldn’t see straight. This is my 11th year diagnosed with TN. IT is suspected I have had it for years before then. I am currently 29. I have typical & atypical bilateral TN and have been in constant chronic pain for the last 3 years.
