Trigeminal Neuralgia & The Cold

Trigeminal Neuralgia & The Cold

People that are suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia often have to give up work because of the relentless pain. This affects lots of people, young and old, though older people are more prone to TN. This means that the cost-of-living crisis for the older generation is extremely challenging, more than the average household. This is because they can either choose to suffer extreme pain from their condition or have no money for food, this is because Trigeminal Neuralgia & the cold do not mix well.

Bills are rising faster than average in every household home, especially for those on benefits and pensions. For those of us with Trigeminal Neuralgia, it is far worse, as cold air on our faces is a trigger that causes immeasurable pain. The pain of an attack can be like shards of glass, electric shocks, or razors digging into your face. There have been reports of an increase in mental health issues for those that suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Sadly, Trigeminal Neuralgia is known as ‘The suicide disease’ due to the excruciating pain from those who suffer. Although many of us shy away from such a description for fear of scaring suffers. Sadly there is a correlation between people that suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia and suicide. For many people it’s having to make heartbreaking choices between eating, paying their housing costs, and putting the heating on. For many in the UK, this will be the first time experiencing this hardship.

What Can you do to help?

Firstly, I would advise people with Trigeminal Neuralgia to contact their energy provider and inform them that they have the condition. It is unlikely they will know what Trigeminal Neuralgia is, but refer them to the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association Website. One such person did not have the choice as their Trigeminal Neuralgia was so painful;

‘I have been driven into poverty, who thought I would ever have to make choices of whether to pay my rent, buy food or put the heating on? In the end, I had to get rid of the pain”

“I am hungry,  in debt, and in pain. I am grateful to the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association as they are donating me a membership while struggling. Speaking to the members at the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association might be the only way I can make it through the winter this year”

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is the most painful condition in the world.

 

So what is Trigeminal Neuralgia ? ( TN)

Simply put TN is sudden, intense facial pain.

What Does TN feel like

It’s hard to describe too often described what a TN attack feels like.

For me, a Trigeminal neuralgia attack feels like hundreds of electric shocks, suddenly attacking my face.

It can feel like shards of glass or razors digging into your face.

The pain can be in my eyes and jaw. Some suffer the pain is in the teeth and gums.

TN  is also called the Suicide disease because of how painful it is.

A few celebrities over time have suffered from this disease, including Blink 182 drummer Tra

vis Barker,

What cause TN?

The fifth cranial nerve provides intense pain to the left or right side of your face.

I have been found to have compressions on both sides of my face. So my TN is bilateral which fortunately is rare.

Help for TN

For anyone diagnosed I would recommend joining TNA UK.

This is a UK-registered national charity. it helps anyone who has TN and Face Pain. Offering a free helpline phone number 08009991899.

There are national webinars with the leading world experts on TN. Which I have the privilege to host as the CEO of TNA UK.

A chance to meet others with Tn in Regional Support Meetings.

Once a member with a modest joining fee of twenty pounds per year.

There is little research on cures for TN. Surgery helps many with the pain.

There is now a moment in time to make a difference.

Aneeta’s debut novel is a funny, easy to read and informative take on issues of forced marriage and a window into different cultures.

Synopsis

Sofia and Vinny are sisters who live in the East End of London. Vinny, 15, knows she’s a bit of a freak because she loves school; she wants to be a teacher when she grows up. Sofia, 10, loves bling and celebrities and wants to be on the cover of the glossy magazines.

Vinny’s safe world is turned upside down when Abby Kambi and her very traditional family move into the neighbourhood. Vinny and Abby quickly become best friends and Vinny starts to see how different life could be for her. Abby and her family go abroad to her cousin Sarina’s wedding in the summer holidays and Abby doesn’t return to school

What would you do if your best friend went on holiday and didn’t come back again? Would you turn a blind eye or would you stand up and shout ‘but it’s not fair’ until somebody listened?

Aneeta has visited over one hundred schools and ten’s  of thousands of copies of But It’s Not Fair have been donated to children and young people in schools around the UK.

Let Girls Learn

‘Let Girls Learn’ will help us fight FGM and forced marriage with education.

The campaign ‘Let Girls Learn’ is a truly inspirational and incredible programme. Having an education is something we all take for granted, but according to UNESCO 63 million girls are denied that basic right.

Having an education not only means we must Let Girls Learn, but it also means her children will be more likely to be able to read and write. Girls who are allowed to stay in school from ages 11 to 16 will be stronger, healthier and live longer than those that don’t. READ MORE
