Did you know that Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is regarded as one of the most painful disorders known to medicine? Despite that there are very few treatments that are effective, leading 1 in 4 with TN ending their lives to escape the pain. Join us for Facial Pain Awareness Month to learn all about this invisible disability.
It’s an invisible disability that impacts the largest facial nerve, responsible for facial sensation but also for mouth movement. It is difficult to diagnose and has a number of causes. In this event Emma Marrison-Taylor will share her experience of living with TN for 5 years. She’ll be sharing what it feels like, how it impacts her daily life and what you can do to support people living with TN.
Join us for this engaging session with knowledge sharing, lived experience and answering your questions.
We’ll discuss;
• What is TN and how is it diagnosed?
• Living with an invisible pain condition.
• What I wish myself and my employer had known.
• Supporting people with TN.
