International Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day October 7th!

I have lived with TN for the past 5 years. I am in pain 24/7. I recently applied for disability but due to my condition rareness, I must wait and continue sending medical documentation to support my claim.

My mum suffers with this condition and the current capabilities of the medical profession have been insufficient in curing or assisting her, so I support this programme of awareness

This is a totally debilitating disease. Intense unrelenting pain. It won't kill you but will make you wish ypu were dead just to find relief.

I have had TN since 2004, despite surgery in 2011 I am in constant, horrendous pain. This disease has stolen my life

Please add Trigeminal Neuralgia to the list. I have it and so painful.

Please add TN to the list of diseases on the World Health Organization.

I woke up from sleep one night because I felt like someone had hit me in the face with a baseball bat 17 years ago. Since then I have been on medication and had to retire as an ICU nurse due to getting the pain at work one day. Whether radiation for an acoustic Neuroma caused it, remains to be seen. Thank God I am under control with just Topamax. Research is needed ! The pain is horrendous!

Add TN now!!

I am a TN patient

My mother suffered from TN and I now suffer from ON (Occipital Neuralgia).

Worst pain known to modern science

My daughter has had this for 19 years preventing her from working

I know the pain and how debilitating it is trying to work whire suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia. I also know and understand the struggle of not being able to drive or focus while under the influence of all the medication which is necessary just to keep you pain free.

We suffer. We need help.

My son has suffered from atypical TN for 17 yrs and is totally disabled from this excruciating pain and lives with his Dad and me. He is in severe pain every day!

Help find the answers

I have TN . I wouldn't wish the pain on anyone.

Please sign to allow research have more resources to find a cure for this extremely painful disorder.

Trigeminal Neuralgia is definitely a disease that needs recognition & research for a cure. Until then, it sure is a disability.
