    Willing to Network

    TNA Willing to Network Lists for those whose lives are affected by neuropathic facial pain, including trigeminal neuralgia.

    In order to help those with neuropathic face pain, including TN (Trigeminal Neuralgia), to share information and experiences with others who have a similar problem or are interested in a particular treatment, etc., The Facial Pain Association (formerly The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association) has networking lists for the areas listed below.

    Whether your experience was positive or negative with any treatment, it can be valuable to those who are trying to make decisions. This is an opportunity to give and to receive support from others who also feel isolated by their pain.

    Please enroll now for any and all categories that apply to you. TNA will only contact you directly if additional input or details are needed. However, if you are willing to be contacted by others with facial pain, please check the appropriate box and you will be added to the networking lists, which will include your name, home telephone number and email address.

    If you want to talk to someone about any of the issues below, please contact us.
