This was posted on the main moderator site, and I would like to share it with you. Red joined Ben's Friends to support his wife who suffers from TN (Trigeminal Neuralgia) he has become a moderator for that site, and an advocate for his wife and others who suffer this disease, he also often forwards new research info to our group on FMS, and hopes to expand his research into many other of our rare diseases!
Thank you Red, and Thanks to Scott for posting it!

Unfortunately, his wife's story will sound familiar to us all!

Red Lawhern's Editorial
Red wrote an inspiring editorial about his wife's battle with Trigeminal Neuralgia and how many patients, a disproportionate number of whom are women, are told, "it's all in your head."

I'm inspired by this essay and proud to call Red a friend. And thrilled to be associated with him through Ben's Friends.
