medical and healing journey

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Bobbikae, I am his fiancé’s best friend and their kids God mom. I have come to know Fred very well in the last 5 years. I have been watching him go through and deal with his diagnoses. If you are unaware he has been diagnosed with a rare condition known as Trigeminal Neuralgia. It is very rare condition, there are only about 200,000 cases in the US a year.  This condition is the worst pain known to medicine and it’s also referred to the “suicidal disease” because of the level of pain the patient has to deal with. There is no pain management that can help comfort the patient. So people are known to take their own lives because of the level of pain. It is a nerve in the back of the right side of his brain the controls all functions to the right side of his face. His pain levels are at an 11 on a scale from 1-10 when he has an episode. As well as the constant head pain 24/7.  Jess is trying to figure out his insurance since he is unable to work right now. They have to figure out the right medication for his body. There is not a medicine to cure the diagnosis, so they have to try seizure medicines until they find the one that works for him. This is going to be an ongoing process for him and his family, anything help while they work with the doctors to figure this out. Thanks for all the prayers for him and his family as they HEAL from this journey thanks to God.
