FINDING PURPOSE IN THE PAIN
My journey with Trigeminal Neuralgia has taught me profound lessons about invisible diseases and chronic pain. I never truly understood the silent battles others fought until I faced my own. It's a debilitating pain that often goes unseen, making me wish we had a "light up pain scale" on our foreheads. This blog is my voice, and yours, aiming to bridge the gap between suffering and understanding.
About Me
Hi, I am Kim West. I am 60 years old and live in Macon Georgia. I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia at the age of 45. I am a divorced mother of 3 adult children each married and blessing me with a total of 7 amazing grandchildren. I was a preschool teacher and married at the onset of my diagnosis. I love the Lord with all my heart and cannot imagine where I would be today if He was not carrying me through it all. My greatest support team has been my mother and father and my 3 children. None of us had any clue what I was facing. I will most likely post some stories and pictures in the future about my support pup, Harley. I had no idea what a difference he would make in my life with all his unconditional love. He truly is my emotional support dog! I thank God every day for bringing him into my life. I hope that you will continue to follow my site and share with others who might find some encouragement from it as well. It helps just knowing that we are not alone and that there is someone else who truly understands. I hope that you will join my email list and share your own personal stories with me.
