Striking Back

The Trigeminal Neuralgia and Face Pain Handbook

by George Weigel and Dr. Kenneth Casey

This is the second and extensively updated version of the “Layman’s Guide to understanding and treating what is often called the world’s worst pain”.  One of the notable updates appears in the title which now includes the words ‘Face Pain’ along with ‘Trigeminal Neuralgia’, giving an indication of just how far this book now goes to cover as much as is currently known about neuropathic facial pain.  The authors are deeply committed to their subject - George Weigel, a journalist and former TN patient and Dr. Kenneth Casey, a neurosurgeon who has worked closely with Dr. Peter Jannetta, the ‘Godfather’ of the microvascular decompression.

 

Consequently the reader is led through the world of Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) and other types of facial pain in an orderly, progressive fashion in a way that is understandable to medics and non-medics alike.  For anyone suffering from TN, this extended and more comprehensive version is compulsive reading.  Armed with the detailed information in this book, individuals are helped to make knowledgeable choices about their care and treatment.

 

Striking back is available from The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association UK (TNA UK), an organisation that exists to provide not only invaluable human contact and sympathy but also continual updates of developments with regard to Trigeminal Neuralgia.

 

One member of the TNA UK, Sandra Fisher from Wales, refers to her copy of Striking Back as her “TN bible”!
