If people only could understand the toll this takes on your entire life, getting worse with time. Patients don't ask for much but any relief would be appreciated.

I was diagnosed with TN in 2006, I was only 22. It breaks my heart to see my mom looking at me, trying to help me when she knows she can't do anything. Be strong for your daughter. It is hurting us physically but knowing that you are there for her is a big help. :-)

Trigeminal neuralgia destroys lives. I live with a sufferer, and have seen what a terribly painful, debilitating condition it is. Research is needed into causes and treatments!

The more people that know about this terrible illness the better - there has to be more awareness, and hopefully this can lead to research and better, targeted medication to ease the suffering.

This is an illness, that leaves people very alone as you do not look ill. It is very easy to start to doubt your sanity, a some people imply it is a imaginary pain.

For my daughter-in-law, Amanda, who has suffered for 9 years. It is truly a helpless feeling to witness someone suffer this intense pain. Can you imagine not being able to talk, smile, laugh, drive in a car or EAT. I cannot and that is just the beginning of her triggers.
