Last month I almost ended my life. It took all the strength I had to draw this, it represents my horrific condition: Trigeminal Neuralgia. It's a chronic neurological condition affecting the trigeminal nerve (the largest facial nerve). I am in excruciating pain every day. It never stops. It's like a root canal with no anesthesia, burning gnawing fire ants, and a migraine electrified...all at once. I had brain surgery recently to cure it. But it failed. I face more surgery soon. It is refered to as the suicide disease because 25% of people with it kill themselves.
