For those unfamiliar, trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that causes sudden and extremely painful facial nerve attacks. Many people describe it as feeling like an electric shock in the jaw, teeth, or gums — and for Charlotte, it’s been enough to send her back to the hospital.
“As many of you know I have tried raise awareness of the condition trigeminal neuralgia,” she wrote. “I have unfortunately found myself back in hospital with a terrible attack and this has resulted in me needing another neuro surgery to control it.”
She added that she was rushed to A&E after a severe episode and is now under the care of the neurology team at QE Hospital. “After being rushed into A&E with a huge attack, I have been taken care of by the amazing Neuro team at QE hospital and today I have an operation to relieve me off my physical torture.”
