Naomi has been suffering with severe, debilitating pain for over 11 years. After countless misdiagnoses, she was finally diagnosed with TMJ disorder and is also suspected to have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).

She has been trying desperately to get through all of the investigations, attempting for years to get an accurate prognosis, and effective treatment for the debilitating jaw dysfunction .

Despite working hard to train and study through her pain, Naomi’s symptoms have left her unable to work, eat solid food, or speak without excruciating pain. Her mouth opening is just 14mm, and she experiences:

• Electric shock-like facial and head pain

• Severe jaw, face, ear, neck, and head pain

• Light sensitivity, vertigo, and trigeminal neuralgia

The NHS waiting list for jaw surgery is four years long, and Naomi is not yet even on it.

She cannot survive that wait. She has been prescribed nutritional shakes again to keep her alive. She survives on 6 small shakes per day.

Only a handful of surgeons in the UK have the expertise she needs, and most operate in private practice.

We hope that by setting our target at £95,000 we can raise as much as possible towards covering the cost of Naomi's, Private jaw surgery, Medical and travel expenses, Temporary relief treatments and Support for loss of earnings.

I have personally supported Naomi as much as I can we have spent thousands of pounds on treatments such as Botox, chiropractor, osteopaths, massage, healing sessions, acupuncture. Reflexology and inter X sessions, nothing has helped. We just simply do not have the amount of money she needs spare.

Every donation brings Naomi closer to eating, speaking, working, and living without unbearable pain.

She has dedicated her life to helping others, now she needs help to reclaim her own life.

Please donate if you can— every pound counts.

From the very bottom of my heart, I thank you for your support.
