A Trigeminal Neuralgia sufferer name Stormy member of Livingwithtn.org granted me permission to use this design as she noted she only made one for herself with her favorite color teal. So in honor of Stormy this is our Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day Ribbon!
We are asking the World Health Organization (WHO): To take action on Trigeminal Neuralgia (aka TN "Suicide Disease") & Facial Pain Disorders!
Please add Trigeminal Neuralgia to the "Health Topics" list.
By WHO adding TN to their list of illnesses which can expand awareness, access to resources and create opportunities for funding & research.
People signing this petition are hoping to DESIGNATE Oct. 7th 2013 as the 1st Official International Awareness Day for Trigeminal Neuralgia.
We must inform people of what TN is, it's characteristic, symptoms & treatments.
Joining our voices together, we can be heard around the world!
NO $$ needed for your signature on ipetitions!

Facial Pain Research Foundation aims to turn a page in history by finding a cure for the world's most excruciating pain.
Finding a cure for trigeminal neuralgia, the most painful disorder known to humans, is the
mission of The Facial Pain Research Foundation. Its founders aim to reach the goal within
the decade of 2011-2020, while also developing therapies to permanently stop other
nerve-generated facial pains and diseases.
The Foundation is the brainchild of seven professionals across the United States, who are
creating the first international force of scientists to work together to cure an ancient, but poorly
understood disease. Finding a cure will restore pain-free life to millions of men, women and
children around the world, who are stricken by repeated lightning-like shocks of facial pain,
the hallmark of trigeminal neuralgia. A simple cool breeze across the face, a slight touch or
even a kiss on the cheek can trigger shooting pains that drive victims to their knees and
may last a lifetime.
Trigeminal neuralgia was first identified in the 11th century, yet it remains frequently
misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated, in many cases resistant to the best available
therapies, and tragically linked to depression, fear, fatigue and suicide. The pain has a bizarre
“hit and run” behavior; it strikes near the eyes, nose, lips, ears or teeth, sometimes disappears
for days, months or longer, then returns. The pain seems to come out of nowhere with
a stabbing intensity that stops life in its tracks and draws full attention to the need to find relief.
