My TN, by Julian I’ve been a very active DIY kind of feller all my life, and not bothered too much by ’normal’ pain. However, my TN pain began a couple of years ago, at first coming and going, then getting gradually worse. It is ‘classical’ TN, being excruciating, sharp, and transient on one side […] 
The Brisbane Support Group met on December 11th and are seen here holding a banner created by Matthew Puls.
Matthew now lives on the Gold Coast but has previously lived in Melbourne and Brisbane, and attended both cities support groups.

We have signed up sites in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Adelaide to date
We have started work on Lighting up Australia for 2022 to further Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness.
We are delighted to announce Gold Coast City Council have agreed to Light up the Isle of Capri Bridge in Teal in support.
Below are pictures of the bridge lit up for an awareness campaign – it will look spectacular in Teal for the 2022 Trigeminal Neuralgia awareness campaign.
We aim to get buildings, bridges and homes lit up in Teal all around Australia. Please contact us if your town or city can help.

When TNA Australia decided to create a new website to enable members to manage and pay for their subscriptions, we set up a PayPal Account to act as the gateway for payments.
An unexpected result of that decision was the PayPal Just Giving Donation Platform, which partners with GoFundMe, EBAY and Humble and Bundle, were able to match up donations received for our Association, and they presented us with two cheques of $1234.60 and $650.
We are so grateful to our wonderful supporters who have donated to our cause. We receive no funding from State or Federal Government, and our committee all volunteer their time to advocate for better treatment and more research for Trigeminal Neuralgia and other Facial Pain suffers and carers.
