    Thank you so much for the efforts you do. ATN diagnosed November 22nd 2019. Mine was caused by a tumor wrapped around my trigeminal nerve. They were able to cut down the tumor through three brain surgeries but I have a lot of chronic pain and I was diagnosed with the trigeminal neuralgia. I hope when a cure comes it will work for all TN.
