Introducing the new TNA Online Community.
Welcome to TNA Connect, the FREE online interactive community of the
Trigeminal Neuralgia Association.

Are you a face pain patient or family member of someone who is and you want to reach out to others who are suffering with this disease? Are you a healthcare professional looking for more information or for a better understanding of face pain patients? Welcome to TNA's online community!

This FREE service is an online forum that allows you to build a blog and post comments on blogs; weigh-in on topics on the discussion board; and ask questions about anything related to neuropathic facial pain and TNA. TNA Connect is available to all registered users of the TNA website, www.endthepain.org.

If this is your first visit to TNA Connect, please read the Terms of Use below. Your participation in the TNA Connect interactive community constitutes acceptance of all the conditions listed.

The Purpose of TNA Connect is to help carry out TNA's mission of educating both those who live with facial pain and for those seeking information and first-hand accounts of what all face pain patients endure. Peers provide support, information, and coping ideas. By becoming part of the TNA Connect community, you will make new friends and establish new connections with others you may have met in the past.

DAILY BLOGS:
Have you ever written in a diary or jotted your thoughts down in a journal? TNA invites you to share your thoughts and experiences on our website. A blog will give you the opportunity to share a running log of events and personal insights with others. People who have questions or who share similar thoughts will be able to respond to your writing. Blogs are just one more way to build or increase your network of support. We hope you will share your journey with us and with others who have facial pain.
