International Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day October 7th!

I suffered from trigeminal neuralgia for 4 years before being correctly diagnosed in September 2014. The medication worked for a short period of time time however I had MVD surgery in December 2014. The pain went away temporarily and now it's back and as intense as before.

We need to raise awareness each and every year about these invisible illnesses.

My wife suffers from TN. Much more research needs to be done to help find a cure for this awful disorder. I have watched my wife suffer with pain for years and I feel helpless because I don't know what to do to help her. We have been to countless doctors, she has had surgery and other procedures and nothing has helped.

I have had this condition for 20 years. Slowly, it has robbed me of my talents, my career and a fulfilling quality of life.

I have trigeminal neuralgia, and had NO idea what it was before I got it. I had never heard of it before. PLEASE help bring awareness about this disease. So many sufferers feel they have no where to turn, no one believes them, and they just give up... Hence the nickname, the suicide disease.

Funding for this disease should be available to assist in treatment and/or a cure. Being dubbed, The Suicide Disease is reason enough.
