Wednesday 7th October 2020 was
Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day

Here is our message for the day:

This is an incredibly important day to raise awareness for those suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN). This national day allows those that suffer from such life changing pain to share their stories and help educate professionals and others about what TN is.

For those that care and love someone going through this pain it is a chance to come together for support. Many people are not diagnosed and suffer for years not understanding why they are in constant pain.

We ask that today, if you can ask friends and family to wear something teal to show solidarity. And if you have the chance to speak to at least one person and help raise awareness.

Let’s make sure every health care professional from doctors, nurses and dentists can identify TN early so those that of us suffering can get help and we hope one day a cure.

This is seen as a hidden disability and although right now there is no cure, by fundraising to help fund research hopefully one day TN suffers may be pain free.

Comment from one of our members that attended on Saturday: Just a line to say thank you to you and all those responsible for yesterday’s conference. A huge amount of work, I am sure – I was a first timer and I found it helpful and friendly and also encouraging that work is being done to try to find a successful solution to the ghastliness of TN.

“The pack you sent me was extremely useful – it was well put together and thoughtful information” Catherine

“A fantastic charity offering help and support to a needy and sometimes desperate sufferer” Linda

About TN and TNA UK

TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA is an extremely severe unilateral episodic facial pain that tends to come and go unpredictably in sudden shock-like attacks. The pain is normally triggered, for example by light touch, and is described as stabbing, shooting, excruciating or burning. It usually lasts for a few seconds but there can be many bursts of pain in quick succession. There can be slight variations of trigeminal neuralgia which require different treatments.

WE ARE the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association UK (TNA UK). We provide information, support and encouragement to those who suffer this excruciatingly painful condition. Our aim is to raise awareness of TN within the medical community and the general public at large. As a registered charity, TNA UK is entirely dependent on donations and annual membership fees in order to continue its work. We receive no funding whatsoever from central Government or corporate organisations.
