I have been diagnosed since 2016 and every day is a challenge. I muster through the pain to care for my family and complete my job as a Behavioral therapist with children with ASD. We need more research and help please.

So little recognition for this awful condition. Also very little effective treatment. It’s like a living hell yet I’m not “ disabled” and get no help whatsoever. Invisible illnesses are equally as disabling as visible ones. Time for change!

PLEASE we need help urgently - someday’s most of us barely hang on a thread, because of this unbearable pain. RESEARCERS: P L E A S E!!!! TN IS a very real and serious illness and Western medicine is failing us and all our loved ones. This disease litterly sucks the life out of the patient, the marriage, the family, you loose friends and become so isolated and it’s right then when we feel like a burden to all who LOVES US DEEPLY AND REMEMBER US HOW WE WERE.

I got chicken pox at the beginning of last year and the virus went into my nerves. As a result I got Trigeminal Neuralgia. I'm a 42 years old female.

Despite its tragic nickname- the suicide disease- sometimes ya just CANT die! And yet living wirh this is INHUMANE. There is no greater pain on EARTH, and I’m personal experience in my life which include such horrible yet nothing compared to TN.. such as : opioid/ opiate detoxing/ withdrawals, venlafaxine (Effexor) withdrawals, grand mal seizures and being mis Dx’d as epileptic, being Dx’d with bipolar - having 12 ECT’s and EVERY single drug on the market shoved into you and being sick / disabled and crippled from medication side effects for over 8 years .. till they realize you do NOT have bipolar or epilepsy, just adhd/ ptsd and anxiety and too many polypharmacy happening. Being a multiple trauma survivor, and having a “Complex -PTSD” diagnosis which I could care less about - I just want coping skills, validation and ways to teach myself, those around me and the future generations that WE- those suffering, and our loved ones and our caretakers MATTER. That the years lost in the medical system weren’t in vain. ** surviving suicide attempts and STILL having TN is like a b*tch slap to the face, only you’re NOT dead. And there’s no pain that can take your b*tch slap away. Not even death. Because surviving an attempt is as bad as living. Tell me again who is benefiting from this? I’m not even 31 years old yet. Thanks for reading.
