Trigeminal Neuralgia Self Help Group

Tel: 01273 410565
Best time to telephone: evening

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a pain of the trigeminal nerve which can flare up suddenly causing excruciating facial pain. The Trigeminal Neuralgia Self-Help Group was set up by a sufferer of the condition in order to pass on advice to other sufferers. Features of the group are as follows:

  • The group's members are all or have been sufferers and a number are willing to write to newly diagnosed people or talk to them on the telephone.
  • Information sheets concerning the condition, its treatment, letters from neurosurgeons around the country who are able to offer surgical treatment, and a list of group members who may be contacted can be obtained for a small donation towards production costs.
  • The group actively encourages improved knowledge of available treatment and progress of sufferers through shared experience and direct contact with the medical profession.

If requiring an information pack, please send an A4 sized self addressed envelope with two first class stamps on it.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
