My son has suffered from atypical TN for 17 yrs and is totally disabled by this excruciating pain. He has had many failed surgeries and procedures and is in pain day and night. It started with wisdom teeth removal. He has lost everything and lives with his Dad and me.

Pleading with you to take action regarding Trigeminal Neuralgia and all other facial pains. I have watched my daughter's face swell for years and she is in agony for days! Please add it to your health topics list. I don't think people are aware of this excruciating painful disorder...the pain felt is the worst pain known to man! Some. have committed suicide because of it! Please help!

27 year old female, diagnosed with Atypical Bi-Lateral Trigeminal Neuralgia (Type 1 &be2) for 6 years now and have suffered for 7. I've been told multiple times I'm not a candidate for surgery but, maybe with a little more funding they can find an alternative procedure that I may be a candidate for.

My 18 yr old daughter has had TN for two years. More neurologist need to be educated that this is not just a 50 year old woman's disease. We saw 4 neurologist who told us she was too young. A pain Dr diagnosed her with a diagnostic Trigeminal Nerve block and convinced her neurologist she had it. I knew at 4 mo that is what she had. She went through more pain and damage to her nerve than she should have had to. At MVD she had an artery and 4 tributary veins wrapped around her nerve like a paper clip. Took us 2 years to get to the point of surgery because some Drs were not educated enough on this disease.

Along with Trigeminal Neuralgia, more awareness needs to be made about Occipital Neuralgia (I have both).

TN has taken the life that i once had. I cant work, make plans to share time with family&friends. The pain puts me screaming on my knees and the meds arent helping,surgery didnt help either. We need better meds and treatment. Some of us cant live with this pain. We need to be recognized to get funding for research.
