Flowerpot, hi. I also have TN and was back and fore the dentist and GP in extreme pain. It was finally diagnosed by a different GP who had only come across it once before. I am now on meds ( carbamazapine ) hope I'm allowed to say that) and will be for ever more. It is extremely painful when it flares up, debilitating in fact and I would suggest going to your GP first. Sending you many hugs as I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone. HTH.

Hi @nannywindow, i am so sorry to hear you have it too. It does seem to be fairly rare, thank goodness. My mum has it to, so i do know a bit about it. Which is why along with good old google I'm sure i've got it! I will be booking a gp app as soon as. I need pain relief and sleep! Not sure I will be able to work with it like this!

@~FlowerPot~  - I too had trigeminal neuralgia. But mine eventually went away. Not sure why - except one doctor gave me exercises to do. Haven't had any flare-ups since the 1970s. Good luck with yours. I still remember the pain.

Hey all, I’m just reading along as I’ve firmly got my feet up in the TLC carriage. The wisdom tooth extraction went well, but it’s taking a long time to heal and I still can’t chew anything so am getting very thin 😬. Will have to feed myself up on cake and fun things when I can eat again!

@FLOWERPOT. I also have had TN and the GP is the best route to deal with it. I got tablets which stopped it more or less immediately. I think it was called Tegretol, but there’s probably something more modern available nowadays. Like Wee Nancy I haven’t had it for some time. I found that cold wet wind blowing on my ear and face would start it off, so I started wearing a warm scarf round my ears, like an old fashioned headscarf to keep it warm. I feel for you as the pain is unbearable. Hopefully you will get some relief soon.
And best wishes to@Vulpix and Mr V- have a great time.

Helloooooo! I am now on 2 weeks leave - woohoo! Nowhere abroad or as exciting as some of you, but we will be catching up with friends and I have things I need/want to get done. With rest breaks included!
Mrs SD I have a list of lists to make so will post them tomorrow 😊
first proper break since May so very well earned. There will be the following:
cake
clothes declutter
front garden
back garden
beginnings of a project
some medical stuff
3 frogs
rest
trashy tv
cake!
I am not expecting to complete it all but it would be good to get large chunks done.

Sorry to hear about the pain which sounds awful Flowerpot.

Been working and trying to do a few things, managed to leave my shopping behind luckily not alot but some discounted salmon - too much on my mind. Got back quite late to DD2 arriving back from the pub (think they only had one or two drinks as expensive with about 8 friends staying out of the way. Couldn't have my friends at the moment - that's an aspiration to have the house so friends can just 'pop' in 
6 medicines taken to pharmacy , floor lamp taken to CS

1. Write a daily To Do list - only 3 tasks to include MMiM - do this before I go to bed

2. Commence ‘Operation Frog Tickling’ I have an acronym - I.R.I.S. being Identify, Research, Implement, Sign Off 

3. Implement a new sleep/wake up regime - start going to bed earlier (target before 2:00 a.m.) get up earlier (target by 9:00 a.m.)

4. Deal with ‘Urgent’ daily mail immediately & the rest at the weekend

5. Don’t put it down, put it away

6. If I spot a mini task deal with it immediately e.g. refill olive oil pourer or salt cellar, stitch up a hole in a garment etc

7. Continue to keep kitchen clean & tidy - before going to bed

I didn’t do any decluttering this afternoon 🙊 DH went to the barbers & is now shorn. Meanwhile I dealt with my mail & then watched a few more episodes of Spooks whilst the focaccia dough was proving. Dinner was linguine in a creamy white sauce with chicken, bacon & peas 😋 Wudupa. The focaccia is now cooked & is cooling. Hope it tastes as good as it looks 🤞

Tomorrow DH & I are going to niece S (in Kent) for an adults only evening to celebrate S’s birthday 😊 We will stay overnight & return home on Sunday. 

1923 - 1925 Kitchen recycling, glass jar, drinks cans - recycled 

1926 Kitchen detritus binned

Thanks for the reminder Wednesday2000 👏 Sort Your Life Out is now set up in my Planner 😮‍💨 You might not have done any physical decluttering but you did declutter several tasks 👏 

Bon voyage vulpix 🚢 hope you & MrV have a wonderful time 😊 I might be cheeky but I am hoping for the odd picture 🙏

nannywindow I now have Sailing as an ear worm 😂

~FlowerPot~ sounds like you have had a lovely holiday apart from the TN. Fingers crossed that you can get an early appointment with your doctor 🤞

Thank you for sharing weenancy 👏 Hopefully ~FlowerPot~ will have the same result after treatment 🤞

QueenJess, pleased to hear that the wisdom tooth extraction went well but sorry to hear that the gum isn’t healing as quickly as you hoped 😔 However, I think you should spend as much time as possible in the TLC Carriage & when you can eat we will start to feed you up 😊 

It sounds like TN is quite prevalent 😞 Thank you for sharing your experience retiredinfrance 👏Hopefully ~FlowerPot~ will join you as another person who is treated successfully 🤞

Muddy_Walker, hope you enjoy your two weeks leave & find time to visit with friends & family & partake of some TLC as well as decluttering & completing various tasks 🤞 Very pleased to hear that you will be factoring in ‘rest breaks’ 😊 As it is your first proper break since May, I do expect you to visit the TLC Carriage 😉😊

TC77, sorry to hear that you had so much on your mind that you left your shopping behind 😔 Great work decluttering the ood meds & the floor lamp 👏 Please pop into the TLC Carriage over the weekend as it sounds like you need a rest from decluttering & work 🙏 

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend 😊 with gentle hugs for those in pain or unwell 🤗

Have decluttered some time gently strolling round this japanese garden.  Hope you enjoy the picture.   Might be soothing for those currently in pain

Hi all, just having my first cuppa and watching the birds in the garden the washing machine is on and the sun is out . Thursday the weather was yuck but warm and sunny yesterday so in the past couple of days I have done 4 LDFPA. Another handbag gone, given to ln, I have managed to persuade OH to install 1 of the new lamp shades. It did involve me setting up the ladders and being the electricians apprentice . I have cleared some stuff from the landing so the other shade can be fitted. OH has said it will be done today.  I had to put a couple of things into the rod so I grabbed a couple of bags out of there and lots of stuff recycled and binned so consolidated down to 1 bag.  I had a sweep around the house and corralled 14 empty shopping bags that have been folded and put in the car boot ready for the next sm run and I have ordered my meds. 

I am off to make my 2nd cuppa, think about what I will do today and will catch up then so hugs to anybody who would like one
1193 - 1196 LDFPA
1197 lamp shade installed
1198 landing cleared
1199 + 1200 bags from rod sorted
1201 handbag given to ln
1202 meds ordered
1203 shopping bags corralled
Take care everyone
