Relief for Barbara's Trigeminal Neuralgia
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Nathan and this is my mom Barbara. My mom is such a strong willed person but lately a recent neurological disorder has made her almost immobile. She was diagnosed with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia. This condition causes chronic pain in one of the facial nerves (my mom describes this as sparking). She has probably one of the more severe cases of TN, because some days it completely debilitates her. For more info click on this link: Trigeminal Neuralgia
She is on several medications and while they sometimes can get her relief, it is a toss up whether she’ll have a flare while driving or working. The next step is surgery. This surgery would target the facial nerves causing her pain essentially deadening it. The surgery isn’t always 100% fool proof, but we need to try something, and anything is better than seeing my mom in pain.
Please help out if you can!
