I left the appointment with a whole lot of questions to which I had no answers. I did not know what caused the onset of the condition, or how to get rid of it. ATN is the result of the Trigeminal Nerve being pinched in the brain. Tri means the nerve controls three major branches the eyes, mouth, and the motor which runs the muscle of the face. Geminal meaning twin, the left and right side of the face. The whole left side of my face was loosing sensation, I could not read, I could not write, I would speak with a slur, I lost muscle tone. Pairing this with the pain and life became unbearable, which is why it is nicknamed the Suicide Disease.
The only thing I could do was lean into Jesus, and I leaned in hard. I refused to be another statistic. I wondered how long am I going to have to deal with this? And how on earth am I going to be able to live a normal life? How am I going to be able to continue homeschooling my children?
