The Suicide Disease

So, I've been diagnosed with Trigaminal Neuralgia (TN) also called "The Suicide Disease", this morning at the Emergency Room. I'm so relieved to finally be getting answers on why I've been having sharp, shooting, teeth, ear, and head pain since last November. I can't wait to schedule an emergency appointment with a Nuerologist tomorrow so he/she can get to the bottom of this. I need help NOW. The pain is unbearable; I've never felt such pain in my life. People who have never had it would say or think that people with it are being dramatic, but they don't call it the Suicide Disease for no reason: There is no cure, so the only way out for the people who don't respond to treatment is to take their own lives. It's sad, I know, but yes, the pain is really THAT bad. Google it.
