The TNA (Trigeminal Neuralgia Association) support network has been established in many cities in the U.S., Canada, and internationally. New groups and network patient contacts are constantly being developed, so if you don't see a contact in your area or if you would be interested in becoming involved, please contact Cindy Ezell, TNA Support Network Coordinator. Note -- When contacting TNA by email, please include your surface mail address and phone number in your email. Your information will be held in confidence. TNA does not share its mailing lists. "If I'm going to have this curse, I am going to know everything there is about it, and then will want the next person to know what it is. One of the things that makes this such a hellish disorder is that NOBODY knows what it is.... We who have it have only each other to confide in...relatives, best friends, even our own neurologists are OUTSIDE of the sphere of understanding....but not those of us horridly linked to each other because we have it. And therein lies the strength of our Support Groups. I would have wilted long ago, but for Tim Guith and his/my group." Therese Hercher, patient |
