community blog for TN sufferers

While searching the internet, I chanced upon a community blog of TN sufferers and was moved by the stories they shared. For a change, I was the one listening to the complaints and rants about their headaches and facial pains that I quickly joined  to help and offer support . When I found out from my doctor that I had TN, I was relieved. The last thing you want to hear from your doctor is to say that it's nothing and it will go away, take a couple of aspirins and rest. I immediately searched the internet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARJMQ4zlsrk to learn more of my debilitating pain. My migraine and menopause on top of my TN is too much to bear. I had to recognize the problem and try to take pro-active steps. It will not go away and it can get worse so I had to find a comfort zone with the right cocktail of meds so I can keep my pains in check. I just have to learn how to live with it. It's not easy but I love life too much to give up. Connecting with TN sufferers keeps me sane. As a TN sufferer myself, it's  good to know that you are not alone.

I have nothing to blog about..

Seriously...I have become a blog reader more than a blog writer. There a blogs mostly about themselves and their children, pets, spouses and basically about their family adventures. Photo blogs with loads of pictures after pictures with captions. Blogs about their handicraft and needlework such as knitting and crocheting to name a few. Foodies share their gastronomic dining experiences. Tons of recipes from Indian to vegan, and others share personal issues about dealing with loved ones who are terminal or dealing with their own illness which  I don't intend to blog about only because I already belong in a community of bloggers with TN.....What is there to blog about?

A lot! I just had to look for some inspiration from others who blog effortlessly.

gone fishin'....

Juanito caught a big one.

Our Christmas celebration was unique, thanks to my husband. He surprised us with homemade fishing poles and baits. So what to do with the gears? We headed off to our huge swimming pool which he turned into a fishpond full of live tilapias.....hahahaha....we had so much fun!! It gave us so much pride and joy. We caught about a dozen fish and grilled it for our Xmas dinner. And for New Year's, we're having a barbecue party by the pool. And only you know what we'll have for dinner.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !!

We're not worthy!!...

I found this cool site and for my first creation, I am honoring our graduates for the year 2009. And another one in the family is graduating this week in sound engineering. Graduates....you make us proud.
