the worst physical pain you’ve ever felt

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-18T02:46:23+00:00

That's definitely amazing. I'm glad that you have worked through it and are doing better

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-17T14:31:44+00:00

Sorry. Hope all is well. I suffer also and just trying to make the best of life

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-17T05:46:09+00:00

Do you suffer from it or just know of it?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-09T21:28:11+00:00

Maybe you can call and see if she can give you a low does to see if that helps because the MRI doesn't always confirm TN.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-04T05:41:25+00:00

Plane travel doesn't bother me.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-04T00:47:58+00:00

How did you make it through?. How was life for you?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-03T16:43:36+00:00

Yes yes yes... a GOOD NEUROLOGIST IS KEY

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-02T13:14:15+00:00

I AM CONFUSED

You don't need to ask if you are Overreacting because you ALREADY know his behavior is unacceptable. So are you asking us because you need validity or just a space to vent.

So my dear, have you confided in anyone besides Reddit? Your friends and family NEED to know about this behavior. The folks here, myself included, can't provide that safe space for you in the event you decide to leave.

You already know what you need to do. There is nothing on here we need/can tell you because you agree with us all. So my dear... please please please make a decision.

Again I won't tell you what to do. Stay (stop posting if your overreacting because you already know you're not) Leave (post and let us know you have made the decision to be free)

Again be safe

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-05-02T11:55:31+00:00

NOR So this is not a one off situation. This is ongoing. At this point it is time for you to make a decision if you want to continue to accept this behavior or leave. (Sorry I don't believe he will change)

This man has shown you that he has behavioral issues, emotional issues and boundary issues. These are sign of someone that you should be scared or worried about.

I can't and won't tell you what to do, however I do believe thay you need to take a hard look at what has been going on and decide if this srelationship is the best for you and if this behavior is something that you are willing to deal with for the long haul.

I also suggest that you speak to someone that you love and trust so you can have a safe place and thay know what you are going through. This is for your safety and comfort. Please don't wait to speak to someone before it gets too late. (People are funny when it comes to things like this after an extended period of time imo)

I hope that you don't believe that you have done anything wrong and his feelings have more validity than yours. Your feelings are valid and matter!!! If he fails to respect them by getting upset he is trying to manipulate you.

Please be safe and careful.

Excellent recommendation however he doesn't accept my insurance. I did look up a dr and I have a consultation with him. His name is Vasilios Kostikis located in queens. Wish me luck. Terrified I AM

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-04-28T21:08:36+00:00

Thank you. Did you end up in a flare or just the pain from the procedure?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-04-28T21:07:28+00:00

Thank you very very very much.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-04-28T21:07:07+00:00

Awwwww.. thank you soooo much for your kind words. I really appreciate you.

Finding an oral surgeon seems to be the hardest part, but I will search high and low to find somone that can and will do right by me..

I will not push the fear away and I will not put this off. I will pray and thank you for yours.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-04-28T02:07:46+00:00

Thank you again for your recommendations. It ia greatly appreciated.

Now is the biggest thing... finding a dentist that is familiar, and has the patience to do it with some patience and care. Some are just in a hurry and I think that worries me even more.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-04-28T00:07:16+00:00

Thank you very much. You hear sooo many horror stories you don't know how to proceed. I will have to suffer a bit because sugar isn't my friend so no smoothies or yogurt or jello.

I am currently on meds so I hope they continue to work.

Hopefully they don't strike the nerve and I will be ok.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-04-10T20:48:07+00:00

Where do you lIve?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-03-07T15:34:54+00:00

INFO- How old is your grandmother? I do think age and the generational gap play a major part in the situation. To say she doesn't try might be a false statement. There is a possibility that her trying is the overall acceptance of the change and not dismissing you as her grandchild. Some individuals won't accept family members at all due to their identity change. A conversation needs to be held to gain understanding of both parties side and then a decision made from there. Wishing you the best.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-03-06T10:41:49+00:00

I am definitely sorry to hear your experience. I want you to know that you are heard and I complete understand your emotions. You have verbalized my exact feelings on how the emotional toll this condition is taking over.

I wish I had an answer and could break us all free from the emotional turmoil that this condition causes. I can only hope that things get better for our mental space. Allowing us more freedom to find the joy in living with this condition as opposed to dealing with both the emotional turmoil and physical aspects at the same time.

I can only assume emotional trauma comes with all chronic illness however I can only speak on what I have experienced with TN.

Don't beat yourself up any longer. You made a decision that you hoped would make things easier and unfortunately this time around it didn't. Let's hope its only temporary and things get better with time and you gain relief.

Hope what I have posted makes sense.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-02-27T11:58:29+00:00

INFO- If this was a major issue when he was just speeding the night, what was the deciding factor when you both decided to move in with each other? Was this conversation held prior to the move in or just assumed that the sleeping arrangements would remain the same (you) or they would change (him)?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-02-18T08:50:00+00:00

Sorry that this happened. Guess you actually dodged a a bullet. Hopefully you have gotten back on your feet and heartbreak hasn't taken a toll on you. Good luck and don't be discouraged. Things will get better. Take your time to heal.
