Two Seconds

​_______

 

All it took was two seconds to change my life forever.

​​

 

 

I went from being a newly retired mom of two young children,

my future full of possibilities,

to someone struggling to survive.

 

During a coughing attack,

an explosion of electric-shock-like

pain in my mouth

lasting only two seconds

dropped me to my knees.

​

That agonizing pain changed my life in the most profound ways.

 

That fleeting moment was the door into my own personal hell.

 

​

Fourteen years
________

RARE spans across
fourteen years
and includes multiple surgeries and procedures

 

Join me on an emotional rollercoaster of twists and turns as

I desperately search for a treatment to take away the unbearable suffering and reclaim my body,

and my life.

​

Open the pages that transport you into the life and mind of someone betrayed by their own body yet somehow still finds the strength to carry on.

A Lifetime
_______

Trigeminal Neuralgia
Hope - Advocacy - Resilience

Trigeminal Neuralgia

is an incurable chronic nerve disorder.

Incurable, however, doesn't mean untreatable,

and perseverance is a lifelong commitment.

​

RARE is a story of family, resilience, and silver linings

in even the smallest moments.

RARE is a reminder that

We are not alone in our pain.
