This horrible condition just took my mother's life. She fought a long hard battle but just could not take the pain anymore. I love you, mom. You are my hero.

I have suffered for over 12 years with Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia...the hardest to treat. Please let's work to finding a cure for this very debilitating and painful condition.

I have bilateral Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have suffered most of my life. I want to educate the world about this disease. I also want to help fund researchers by walks or whatever so that they can help find a cure. This is an awful disease that will take your life from you.

My mother has Trigeminal Neuralgia. Her first attack was in 2007. After a long and agonizing journey, we finally found a doctor who was able to help her. Even with a strict dietary and supplement regiment (which allow her to live as close to a normal life as possible), my mom is still in pain. Please find a cure. I can't relate to the pain my mom and so many others are experiencing, but it brings me to tears every time she has a severe attack. Please please find a cure for Trigeminal Neuralgia!

Our friend Barb who was my husband's INCREDIBLE office assistant was diagnosed after many months and years of awful pain. She had to do her own investigation online, which led her to the right doctor and the right diagnosis. More needs to be done about awareness!

For lack of awareness I was misdiagnosed and mistreated by a GP, ENT and neurologist. I took medication I did not need and surgery that made my pain worse. I diagnosed myself when I Googled "facial nerve pain." Eight neurologists confirmed the diagnosis but precious time was lost. Doctors and the world need to be aware of this unusual disease. Thank you.

This is a neurological disease and needs it own listing with other facial pain disorders. Better diagnosis is essential since so many doctors do not know anything about this disease. Their are many people suffering with no medication just for TN and there is no work on a cure for this disorder.
