Trigeminal neuralgia surgery & living costs 4 Kzza

Most people respond to medication, however, these cause seizures in Kzza. 

Additionally, most TN is triggered by compression of the nerve by an artery, vein or tumor. This is not the case with Kzza and so her TN is atypical with no physical obstruction.  Therefore less invasive treatments are not recommended as the success rate is low and can trigger a worse prognosis. 

As a result brain surgery is the preferred option. Previous brain surgery 2 years ago was partially successful but she has relapsed in recent times as the nerves at the point of surgery grew back and require further brain surgery, which is expected to occur in the next few weeks. Please refer to the video to see Kzza's journey through surgery last time. 

Kzza is struggling to speak now, which is expected to improve after surgery. She has fought hard to support herself with her career and is to be admired for her work ethic. 

That said, she is unable to continue with her employment, which comes to an end later this week. She will lose her work car in the coming months.

Kzza is a person who is the first to help others. She has been dealt a very tough hand by the world yet manages to keep a cheery disposition. She feels that she is inconveniencing us if she asks for help, (which she certainly isn't), and so often suffers in silence. 

Now is the time I'd like to ask you for your help to assist this beautiful soul with managing her medical expenses and personal costs now that she is unable to work. Any support is so greatly appreciated.
