I was doing so good with my workouts getting definition in my arms lost 15 pounds. Had my schedule M-F. But I had been having a face problem wnt to five dentists had two root canals on the same tooth wnt to a orl surgeon he tooth the tooth out, still no relief. He snt me to a ENT. He said this is not your problem wnt for and MRI and CatScan so you can imagaine the money I have been spending. Imagine Having a sever e toothache, earache and trying to workout. But I still did it. I was snt to a neurologist he could not help me. He snt me to a Brain surgeon. I ended up having tic douloureux also known as trigeminal neuralgia. He put me on seizure medicine still no relief so now we are talking about 8 months. I decided the pain was bad enough I had to have surgery. The surgery did not go well I felt the whole thing they could not get me to go out. He said in his 30 years never has he had a patient do that. Anyway I knew the risk that he could hit the nerves and I would never feel the left side of my face again and prone to eye infections where I would have to keep drops in them. I have not cried in I don't know How many years but that surgery had me crying so hard, so anyway when I finally went to sleep the pillow case scratched my cornea very bad. I now have to wear a patch on the eye. And the surgery did not work I am in worse pain. where yesterday I was to the point of ending it. It was one of those days I was feeling sorry for my self. But I still wanted to workout even though I am in so much pain I am beside myself. Now I slobber on myself and when I eat I have food all over my face because I can't feel it. But the doctor told me today no working out for awhile. I worked so hard to get everything thing in shape, but I am down to 93 pounds because it hurts to bad to open my mouth to eat. I have oatmeal 3 times a day. I still get up everyday and clean and do what I can, to try and keep so normacie in my life. sorry this is so long I just need to vent. They still don't know if I will ever be out of pain. It is nerves in your face that just go haywire. I am dietermined though not to get addicted to pain medicine. But my doctor tells me not worry about that right now. I find out next week when I get to workout again. Thanks for letting me vent, I am not going to lay on my heating pad and hope to get some relieve. And hope tomorrow I will wake up with a great attitude and less pain.
Hugs.
