I have tn type 2 with flareups of type1. I live in constant pain. Medications that I fought so long about taking, I now am afraid to go without. Missing one dose can cause a flareup. Weather, stress, etc causes increased pain. I live my life in pain, not enjoying what I once did.

Worldwide research into trigeminal neuralgia is a necessity. Let's hope a cure can be found for this terrible and extremely painful disease.

Trigeminal Neuralgia and atypical auriculortemporal neuralgia are rare but extremely painful diseases that need real exposure and real help. Most treatments are negligible and don’t even work. Our lives matter as much as anyone else’ yet there is little research and treatment options that actually work. There is a reason why this is sometimes called the suicide disease. I hope some day there will be cure or at least treatment options that work

Trigeminal Neuralgia has been part of my life for five years with Chicago winters being the most difficult. It is difficult to believe that there is not a worst case procedure to end this pain.

My dad has both TN and MS! It's about time WHO takes responsibility. It's not an invisible disease anymore and should never have been.

I was recently diagnosed on 7/1/19. I am a 32yr old mother of 3, I also have MS. I am extremely shocked at how little information & cures there are out there for this illness
