Funny enough. The way I finally quit smoking was by quitting every single Monday for 3 months. By the end it was so easy to quit on the Monday, just to totally natural. So now if I'm ever around people who are smoking and I get the urge I know I can have a couple of drags and not fall off the wagon.
@@Fillentr Oh! Yeah, so, if you're from LA, then you only take one breath a month anyways...you go down to the beach and take one big woof. I have my LA air sent to me in cans, along with Instant In-N-Out....well, and some Instant Tommy's ...Don't get me started on "which burrito joynt is the best" thing. I miss them nearly-all.
I've struggled with past and regrets before but then a man said "Don't stare at the past or you'll live in it." And also "You have to learn and grow from history, not live in it."
If you're not sober already, get on methadone at least. Legal heroin without the high, but your cravings and withdrawals will subside and you'll be able to function without constantly looking for your next hit. Good luck to you brother
I have been dealing with TN for almost a decade, it is a nightmare. It is the worst pain known to man. I had brain surgery in 2014 to help with the pain and it wasn’t very effective. I feel for anyone dealing with this hellish disease.
@@SuPeRuNkNoWn.. High amounts of CBD backfired with my TN. I tried it for help with my tics too (I get involuntary movements that are similar to convulsions or Tourette's). I have more of the constant pain with my TN than the shocks and stabbing reactive pains. I do have some of the classic type 1 pain (both TN and ON). I do get relief from Keppra for the zaps and stab in the head pain. I did make myself endure taking the CBD for a whole month, possibly more. Many of the anticonvulsants also backfired.
@@annetterico4787 Have you tried THC? If CBD and anticonvulsants make your symptoms worse, then THC might have the opposite effect. If the involuntary movements are being caused by a mechanism similar to Parkinson's, then the dopamine agonism of THC might prove to be helpful. Just a thought.
I have trigeminal neuralgia. Travis describes it perfectly. I spent like $5k on dental work I didn't need, saw doctors for 2 years and finally saw a neurologist and she said "No one knows what causes it and what triggers it is different for everyone, here are some antidepressants, come back in 2 months." It's fucking awful and even worse that doctors brush it off or say "Go see a dentist" then the dentist says "go see a doctor." When you finally see a specialist and beg them to help you, they offer antidepressants or oxy if you beg enough. It's fucking retarded. I can't imagine having this disease in the 1800s.
Who knows, mighta been better back then. Nowadays these greedy doctors are always trying to make a buck off patients in pain so they legit invent things so they can give u pills they're being sponsored to deliver. U coulda at least saved the money on dental work.
Watching this video a year and a half ago finally gave me a name for a pain of had endured for about 8 years. I was bounced between doctors and dentists for a long time. Had root canals and teeth removed. Nothing worked. Told my doctor about this video got an MRI and saw a neurologist, got on a medication that has taken away the constant low nagging pain. I still have bad episodes a few times a year (mostly related to cold). Can honestly say a JRE episode greatly improved if not saved my life. I would say my trigeminal neuralgia is in fairly mild or early stage. I have only had a few episodes which have landed me in ER (before my diagnoses). I truly feel for those out there struggling with this in extreme cases. I also hope those out there still undiagnosed can find help before resorting to more drastic measures. I know there have been times when I would have/did resort to pretty extreme measures to ease the pain of an attack.
A friend of mine found that Elderberry Wine helped him the most! Him and his doctor traveled together to specialist and homeopathy remedies, found an old lady lived near Amish country that made this wine. His, the whole side of his face swelled up, if that's normal for a flair up? But his was never what you say normal after he got it. He eventually committed suicide. I feel for ya and anyone that has it.
I love guys like Travis and Joe. No pretention. Just talent and honesty. Rare for an individual but getting two like this together makes it an awesome listening experience.
My dad battled with trigeminal neuralgia and glossopharangeal neuralgia for years. He suffered more than anyone I've ever known or heard of and then ended up dying from esophageal cancer. Dont know why I decided to share but my heart goes out to anyone who suffers with suicide disease
@@DabbaHashery 1-the taste and smell of tobacco is subjective, and yes, you can get a tobacco high. 2-Europeans smoke alot more hash, which needs to be smoked with tobacco to burn. 3-Weed is illegal and expensive, so tobacco fills up the rest of the joint.
@@CykaChew Marijuana potency in the UK has went off the charts in the last 5 years. We used to get the occasional nice batch of skunk weed but now it's very common.
mike smith same bro almost 26 and fuck man I feel like shit and I’m active and 145 pounds .... lethargic, no energy, constantly eating gmo junk! Hard to change in America where it’s so easy to come by.
23 and got fatty liver and high enzymes, also an alcoholic. Got told by the doctor that my insides are like a 30 year olds' , well fuck ;-; also the back pains that make me feel like I'm old lol
@@knifedeku452 That's crazy!?!? Like a 30yo?!?!? You're completely fucked dude! Have you written out your Will for who gets your playstation when you inevitably die from having insides like a 35yo?
Invest in a pipe or a bong or a one hitter or a vaporizer or basically anything that allows you to smoke small amounts of weed at a time and then you’re good, no extra money on baccy and no lung cancer..doesn’t take much to squash excuses.
Back then *cough* i've seen people who sometimes couldn't afford to smoke with weed at all. Not nice to watch someone take an extra, extra thick hit from a gravity bong - with tobacco only! I almost get sick by only remembering that sight.
@@catallaxy2000 thanks buddy. It sucks cuz I'm a veteran and the VA won't do shit. It happened bc a Navy dentist drilled WAY TOO FAR and severed my nerve. The VA gives me about $100 bucks a month and says good luck
My mom has trigeminal neuralgia and it’s the worst pain I’ve seen her in. It took multiple doctors and many weeks to find out what’s wrong with her. All of the doctors said she was faking it and then finally she talked to a friend that knew about it and then she went back and was able to get diagnosed finally. Also she hates the gabapenten because it makes her barely functional and she feels like she’s dying. CBD has definitely helped her a lot. It’s a miracle drug and we need to invest more in it and start legalizing cannabis everywhere. It also helps my mother-in-law who suffers from severe arthritis
How could they accuse her of faking it?! These frickin doctors. So unprofessional when they dont have a clue what's going on. Instead of saying they don't know, they turn into gaslighting narcissists.
Gabapentin? 😮😮 I have fibromyalgia... before it was popular, lol, and extreme back issues. But, is that why I don't want to do anything? Well besides the pain from doing anything I literally don't want to do anything and if I wasn't already the person who could sleep through a party... I definitely am now
@@arosefortes6507 it might be. Maybe try to at least temporarily ween it out and see how you feel? Maybe your doctor would know of a better alternative too
@@LilSpghetti I've been without Gabapentin before and the neuropathy is so painful. Literally can't concentrate on the simplist things. As a result, one time I resorted to cannabis and I really don't like the stuff at all, but in the same situation again I would do the same! All of my pain went away. Now if only it didn't make me feel like I hadn't slept in a week and sea sick at the same time lol, I'd be better off with that than the gabapentin
Joel Miller aye man y’all got this. Fuck depression. Focus on the positive and see how your life changes. People care about you. Life is so much more than what the average person perceives. Achieve greatness. I believe in u guys
I was just tentatively diagnosed with this by my oral surgeon pending an official diagnosis by a neurologist but even though it’s really bad, it explains everything I have been going through for years so well it’s just shocking. When I read the Wikipedia page, the parallels were literally just stunning.
Wow! Is the whole side of your face not swollen? I knew a guy that his was swollen when active, but ultimately swollen all the time just less when not active. Besides medication he found most relief from Elderberry Wine
Dear Travis Barker I am a combat veteran who has the same condition I also take gabapentin and CBD products to help me you are truly my hero I've known you since you've been with blink-182 and I first listen to you 20 years ago you're amazing you're awesome I love you bro
"If you have trigeminal neuralgia, even mild stimulation of your face - such as from brushing your teeth or putting on makeup - may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain." Travis: *gets face tattoos*
nobody wants to hear this and it makes sufferers extremely angry, but as a sufferer myself I'm willing to face the possibility: Trigeminal neuralgia is very likely associated with anxiety, depression, and other mental/emotional imbalance. Given they cannnot find an organic, neurological cause, it makes sense to me. I did not get better until I faced some real demons I'd buried decades before. I was living with a lot of guilt and fear, and I had 3 attacks of this horrible condition. The pain got so bad I fell into some kind of trance, where I was disassociated from my body. The pain was "unbelievable" in the most literal sense. I very literally could not believe what I was feeling. It's been 3 years since my last bout, and I don't think it's coincidence that I"m the most content ("happy" is a stretch) I've ever been.
How exactly did you cope with it??? I someone who suffers from it, maybe I could show this person some methods of yours ? Also I admire your strength man.
It's a viscous cycle in that regard, the more frequent and severe the pain, the harder it is to work on anxiety and depression, especially if you're on heavy meds
I lived for the past 5 years with my jaw broken in 4 places, it made me grind my teeth down to basically a powder in my sleep every night. I've just had surgery to correct this, but let me be the one to confirm that if it feels similar to anything like my situation I understand completely why so many people can't beat that pain. I thought I'd never wake up healthy or happy for the rest of my life but damn dudes if I made it out anyone can, please never give up (and that goes for the healthy just as well as the ill)
@@The_dude94 I mean it's not really misleading because it is known as the Suicide Disease because a majority of people who have it commit suicide due to the constant excruciating pain
Super similar to cluster headaches, same nerve. No matter how many times I go through a cycle, I am always surprised at the out-of-body experience such pain can sensate
I think I had one episode of this “suicide disease” - it was most likely something different than described but basically half of my face was in a lot of pain, specifically around ear. It hurt a lot to swallow food or water or even saliva. It hurt so bad I had to go to my doctor. they didn’t even know what to do. 24 hours later it was gone. I still have echos of the pain sometimes but never as bad. Cannot wish this upon anyone.
Travis has had 4 attacks and that sucks but it is hardly what I’d call having the suicide disease. It sounds like he has no idea how bad it can be and why it is called the suicide disease. I have a friend with it and he has had it for almost 20 years now. I’ve talked to him on the phone for 10 minutes and he had 4 attacks during our conversation. He says it feels like someone stabbing him in the face with a knife. It is awful to listen to him when it happens. He got it when he was 25 from a dentist fucking up the extraction of his wisdom teeth. The guy hit the trigeminal nerve or something close enough to start it firing and now his is disabled because of it. He collects disability payments and a monthly settlement payment, because he can’t do anything. He has zero life. The worst part is how it has affected his whole body. He weighs 95 lbs, has cracked most of his teeth from biting down so hard during attacks and malnutrition weakening them. Everything causes an attack for him. Can’t go to the movies because of the vibrations. Talking can set it off. He has had brain surgery to try to limit it - didn’t work. The only thing he has found that helps him live, eat and handle the pain are medical marijuana pills. You really don’t want this shit. And if you’re against medical marijuana you should reconsider based on this disease alone.
Yooooo that's all kinds of fucked up! I don't really even know what to say to that besides I hope they find a solution to this fucked up shit, and that Im wishing him the best.
notgoing2argue --- I've dealt with something similar called 'TMJ', which is an extreme nerve pain of the jaw, and it radiates to areas surrounding it (Cheek, ear, neck, & temple). Luckily for me i've only experienced that on 3 occasions, BUT the pain lasted for almost 2 weeks straight each time. I can almost imagine what your friend goes through!
Hey have him look into an upper cranial chiropractor. My gf has had it for four years and is completely off medication and almost completely pain free with only 5 visits. Google and RU-vid upper cirvical chiropractor and trigeminal neuralgia.
he had pre- esophageal cancer, which isn't full blown esophageal cancer which "kills like 95% of people that get it" hence the stop smoking now or you will get it
I have trigeminal neuralgia that was caused by an accident I was in when I was 24 and it is absolute hell when it flares up. I use CBD and Gabapentin as well and that definitely helps. Conventional pain medications like oxycodone or morphine are almost useless for that type of pain.
I also have Trigeminal Neuralgia and when I had it at its worst I went seven days without sleeping for even a minute. I don’t know how I didn’t shoot myself. Gabapentin never touched it for me. I was on Lyrica and morphine for weeks until it went away. I saw the Dr who invented the procedure for the surgery and it wasn’t an option for me. It was absolute hell. Anytime i get the slightest sensation in my face now I start to panic until I calm myself down or it will get worse. I don’t wish it on anyone.
I have TN. I had the surgery,did not work. On tegretol,baclofen and 600 mg. Gabapentin 3 times a day..keeps the pain down enough so I don't kill myself. Keep fighting everyone
I had my first attack the first semester of nursing school. None of the pain medication I had at home was touching it. I couldn't sleep. Dr. finally believed me and gave me gabapentin. Made so SO sleepy at first. At one point I was taking 300 3x a day. Now just taking 600 once a day with little to no side effects.
Genara Anderson really? I take gabapentin every night for sleep. What side effects did it have for you?? Wonder if I have them too and just haven’t linked the dots.
The main reason I mix baccy with weed in my joints is because I feel like it makes the high better/last longer. When I smoke blunts using hemp wraps with 100% weed the high is sometimes worse, however when I mix with baccy I feel happier and less depressed. Probably just the addiction kicking in lol
I have trigiminal neuralgia. Its god awful. I got all my teeth removed thinking it was just unstoppable tooth pain. And it'd hard to tell someone that it hurts worse than tooth pain. Their response is "yeah, tooth pain is the worst".
@@DueySR it's been clarified for hundreds of years that way. If you were sentenced to death, that's exactly how it was explained. 'You will be hanged until you are dead'
Suicide disease is also CRPS. 2 years ago I came down with it and it spread into my face trigeminal neuralgia. Travis is right about the pain he is lucky to live in the USA he in Canada we have to start go fun pages to be able to afford to travel to the USA for help. Ketamine Infusions are the only thing that can help with these syndromes. Best wishes to everyone
Ketamine infusions do help?!? I’ve tried everything EXCEPT for this up to this point. My doctor won’t say much about it everytime I’ve asked. Would love to hear back..
I've had Trigeminal Neuralgia for 17 years. I am on disability. It has taken over my whole life. I wish I only had 4 episodes. I have pain every DAMN DAY! I'm on 4 meds, Botox injections and medical cannabis because CBD is for suckers. I can pretty much call in for ANY pain med I want. There are literally days I would rather be dead than live one more day with this. But...here we are.
Have you thought about having surgery? I've had it for 8 years now pain free it's very risky but beats lying on the floor crying every morning and night
cbd doesn't get you high though. Sounds like you want to get high, just not super baked. Alot of weed around today is pretty potent. I would just recommend keeping a real low tolerance and smoke a LITTLE BIT out of a one hitter. That way you'll take just 2 or 3 hits and you wont get overwhelming high. I know EXACTLY what you mean about getting anxiety from it, that happened to me too.
I was living with my Grandfather when he went through radiation and beat his esophagus cancer in his 60s. 10 years later, he just got a new motorcycle and a hip replacement. He's still kickin'!
It’s actually known for being called the suicide disease because many people have literally killed theirselves because the pain is too much to handle. If the video was going to be about depression it’d be named it..
Edge Solo Beats it’s not clickbait when it genuinley gets called the “suicide disease” JRE didn’t make up that phrase off the top of his head for a title idea. It gets called that.
@@jackm3720 yea i know ive seen a few cbd related videos on it before. Its still click bait... 99% of people thought he was talking about depression including me
My grandmother has this disease. She goes through bouts of excruciating pain, and she becomes completely fed up. She's the sweetest woman I've ever known. Never heard her cuss, never heard her yell, but she just loses all control when she's in pain.
My mom had this too for 10 years, it was painful watching her in excruciating pain just from eating or a strong gust of wind would trigger the pain. Thank God she got surgery and is fine now.
@@queenieburgers50 hey thanks for asking! The disease is trigeminal neuralgia, the surgery was to insert a tiny Teflon pad to separate the blood vessel and the nerve. She’s pain free mostly, unless she’s under stress. But she’s much better these days:)
Oh dear Travis , I work in Dentistry for 25 years , it is the hardest to treat and is the most painful. My sister has it . She tried everything. I’m gonna tell her to try cbd. Thank you . No meds work at all .
@@aak8297 He does seem a little edgy, like a junkie thats got clean after years of use. He also was in a serious accident so that might be why he acts like that, its his mannerisms and the way his eyes look.
I like getting high but wtf man? I knew a stoner that wore a prosthetic penis full of fake pee every day to work in case of a random UA. Some folks are fuckin strange.
Should i even explain how to get weed into prison? THAT'S a fucking commitment to the sweet leaf. I would rather tape a flaming polecat to my nuts than 'suitcase' a sack of bud up my ass.
Osvaldo Perdomo Nah, Joe said exactly what needs to be said when people have it. He doesn’t have cancer. He’s at a major risk for esophageal cancer. Which means he needed to quit the smoking shit and be aware. People who have that need to absolutely hear the mortality and prognosis facts. It’s makes them realize they need to get their shit together.
Feel for ya bro, my wife has had 3 surgeries for this disorder and they opted to sever 2 nerves in the last one, then had complications with the last one I'm March which led to another surgery at UC Hospital in Cincinnati. She is only 42. Her first one was almost 4 years ago. Truly is a terrible disorder, I couldnt even imagine man. She is now disabled from her job she worked at for 20 years. Been a rough couple years for us and our two girls. She is definitely tougher than I could ever be. Prayers to ya buddy!
Hers went misdiagnosed for a few years, thinking she had tmj, dental issues like you mentioned which led to the pulling of several teeth. By time she was correctly diagnosed the nerves had beat each other so bad and has embedded so deep they tried the first of the 3 or 4 surgeries she has had. Glad to see someone of your stature bring this to light. I feel for you for having it, not many people know about this and I believe my wife said like 60 or so percent of people who suffer this commit suicide. She pretty much deals with it nonstop. Good luck with fighting it man, thanks for bringing out on such a huge platform. Love to listen to Joe's podcast. Only one I listen to. I'm a huge fan and huge mma guy and I love Rogan!!! He has the best guests on here man. Take care!
My mother has trigeminal neuralgia, she has had surgery for it and still has pain. She’s straight edge. I only wish she would try cbd to help her pain. It’s hard to watch such a good person go through so much pain
My gf has it and is almost completely pain free after 4 years of hell. Google upper curvical chiropractor and trigeminal neuralgia. She had only 5 visits and she’s is completely off medication.
Nicholas M Then she needs educating. There are plenty of videos out there showing how it has medical efficacy, from stopping Parkinson’s tremors to stopping seizures in children, etc. Stigma, or not, it works. She’s either open-minded to truth, or she’s not. As to another’s post about dosing her without her knowing...that’s illegal.🙄 Good luck with her.😊👍
Really wish he would talk about this more. The worst thing you could ever imagine, I’ve been living with TN for close to 5 years now and I’m still looking for a doctor to perform my surgery
I met Travis Barker back in 2010. He was in Annapolis, MD and was signing autographs at a skate shop called Tilly’s. I got to talk to him, and got my drum head signed. He was very laid back and down to earth. It was the best day of my life
I was thinking this might be about Cluster Headaches. But it seems there are palpable similarities - both conditions involving pain in the head/face area so excruciatingly awful, as to have ensued in suicidal reactions. Never heard of this specific condition though, but I'm not sure I can imagine living with these types of pain. Makes me feel somewhat fortunate, actually.
My dad had this, a blood vessel had encircled a nerve in his brain. He had surgery which i think involved putting a sleeve around the nerve and thankfully pulled through after numerous lumber punctures to keep relieving the overproduction of brain fluid post operation. A hellish experience for him but thankfully came out on top and it hasn't returned.
My wife has had trigeminal neuralgia for about 15 years. Has had two surgeries and takes multiple meds. It’s hell. CBD didn’t help her at all by the way.
Did she have 1000mg or stronger bottle and tried tripling the dose? Low doses of CBD are therapeutic only, bigger doses are required to deal with targeted problems. I have very severe TMJ as well as other oral problems and chronic back pain from car accidents. Triple to 4x doses work good enough for me that I barely have to medicate with my prescription medication. It also works amazing for my 14 year old dog that can barely walk, worth a revisit if your wife's only option is pharmaceuticals.
🙏🏼send you my prayers Travis. I've had issues over the nerves on my face & severe migraines since I got a sinus infection, yrs ago. I have good days& I have bad days. I've never heard of suicide disease. I'm learning as well how to take care of myself better, learning to listen to my body& really wanting to learn to homecare naturally. And in hope to help others in the future. Prayers that you get a miracle healing, Jesus name, amen🙏🏼🕊💜
Joes laugh instantly puts me in a better mood. I’m sure I have this. I have had all my teeth destroyed by root canals/teeth problems. I have migraines everyday. It’s fucking torture
Omg this is the first time I’ve ever seen this disease on a talk show. I’ve suffered bilateral trigeminal neuralgia, for nearly 10 years, it’s crippling. It isn’t curable, some people who have surgery are lucky is helps them for a year if it helps at all. I have constant chronic attacks, it really is a living hell. Cbd oil sadly doesn’t touch it, I’m on 2800 mg of gabapentin and 600 mg of carbamazepine just to get through the day. Thanks for bringing up the awareness of this disease.
molly Horan we sure do, it completely changes your life. It isolates you as even leaving the house is pretty impossible. The cold and wind is excruciating. Hope one day there is a cure. Mine was caused by a brain tumour, I’ve got 2 cm left that’s sat on my caroited artery. 🥺 hope you can find something that relieves your agony 🙏🏻 think I might quadruple the cbd oil like he does to get a bit of relief. You try anything just for a bit of help.
@@cated8897 Damn, now I'm worried of getting it in the future. I have jaw problems (TMJ) which causes occasional pain in my jaw, but usually just constant mild discomfort I've learnt to live with since I was 12. I couldn't imagine getting this, is it rare? I'm so sorry you have to go through this, I hope scientists are looking for a cure.
it took me some balls but i gave rehab a try back in june.. i pushed through and was sober for a minute, despite it being one of the hardest addictions to beat. i relapsed underwater
My uncle has trigeminal neuralgia, he’s not a depressed, he’s not sad, he’s actually a very happy person, but the way he describes the pain, he often tells his friends and family sometimes, the pain is so severe, he feels that jumping off of a tall building and falling to the ground may hurt much less than this pain in his face. My poor uncle, I pray for him every day.
It's been decriminalized to the point that anything under a QP is pretty much like a traffic ticket. This is only in the major cities though. Get caught in a rural area and you'll get fucked for sure. I had to do 9 months state jail for 8 oz back in 07. Texas will be one of the last to legalize though unless it become fully legal federal wise. Can't believe that Oklahoma beat us to medicinal use. It's practically legal in every bordering state though. Not a lot of cops will bother you over weed though. Not like they'll mess with Joe Rogan unless he's growing the shit or pushing weight. They aren't going to trip over a bit of personal use though.
A guy I knew in highschool had this. He had to miss his whole senior year of school. Ended up being able to play sports and graduate as a "5th year high schooler".
