Welcome!

Whether you only suspect you might have Trigeminal Neuralgia* or related facial pain, or whether you have lived with it for several years, I hope this website will give you practical help and encouragement, gained from my own personal journey with facial pain.

It is possible to live a full life despite having a serious facial pain disorder; this website is here to help you do so.

Wishing you well in your journey,

*Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition of the 5th cranial (Trigeminal) nerve in which the nerve is somehow impaired, resulting in sudden lightening-like jolts of pain to occur in areas served by one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. The pain is limited to one side of the face, and is usually provoked by particular "triggers" such as wind, light touches, or facial movements including laughing, talking, or eating. The pain can suddenly go into remission, and just as suddenly return, adding to its mystery. It is never "cured", however, it can be effectively managed through medication, surgery, various traditional and alternative treatments, along with identifiable physical, emotional and spiritual strategies.
