Last update January 2008.

I have been blessed to be free from the pain of TN since my MVD in January of 1997.

My pain first started in 1992.  At that time, there was very little TN information available on the internet. My sweet husband found a group of other sufferers, the TN-L List Group. From the day I first sent my message of desperation, they stood by me and helped me walk that path of pain.

My husband saw my pain and the need for others to be able to feel they were not alone. He surprised me one day by creating this website, You’re Not Alone. I have enjoyed being able to help others. However, as the years have gone by, it has been more difficult to remember the feeling of that pain and feel that it is time to pass on the torch to others who can better help those who are in pain now. I remember the desperation of feeling that no one understood the extreme pain I was suffering and want to help you in your search for an answer. I would recommend that you contact one of these websites or groups.

Praying that you too will find freedom from the pain of TN,

Debbie
