A portal for Trigeminal Neuralgia Patients
I have suffered Trigeminal Neuralgia for several years and would like to dedicate this portal to Trigeminal Neuralgia patients. The site links Facial Pain and Trigeminal Neuralgia Support Groups and related websites to provide important news, development, and resources for educational purposes. It will have a calendar of scheduled virtual or in-person meetings and events of interest to patients. This site is not meant to raise funds for myself or any organization associated with me. I am self-funding this effort to help fellow sufferers.

Patients, if possible, are encouraged to seek more than one professional opinion regarding their particular medical condition. It is suggested that patients should research the healthcare professionals. When asked for recommendations, questions to ask may include:
1. Is the physician board-cetified and trained to practice in the areas of concern?
2. How many patients with similar diagnoses have been treated by the physician and what were the outcomes?
3. Is the physician aware of latest studies, peer-reviewed reports and clinical trial results, and can they guide the patient to the optimum treatment modality?
4. Does the physician and their team provide the patient with adequate time to answer questions?
5. Has the physician been subjected to disciplinary actions by the medical board?
6. Does the patient feel comfortable with the physician's answers, knowledge, availability and bedside manner, discussion, meetings, and subsequent follow-up?
