Shirley's TMS Success Story - Trigeminal Neuralgia and Jaw Pain
Shirley spent years with severe facial and jaw pain diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia, at one point barely leaving her bedroom for fear that breezes would trigger spasms. After learning about the mind-body connection, she gradually resumed normal activities and now describes a full social life, with only occasional minor 'little reminders' that no longer limit her. Her story illustrates how fear of symptoms itself can keep them going, and that the picture can change.
