Pain Australia posts great resources on their website. The resources include fact sheets that they produce and from other organisations.
These fact sheets are not only useful to our community but can also act as a training tool for family members or work colleague, who often have never heard the words trigeminal neuralgia. Often they have no understanding of the impact that a diagnosis of TN can have on a person either.
We aim to raise our voices when we can, and the best way to do that is by using educational resources which are well written, factual and provide support.
