Welshman Gerwyn Tumelty overcame trigeminal neuralgia to complete the London Marathon six years after symptoms began.
Gerwyn Tumelty, 52, from Swansea, Wales, has lived with trigeminal neuralgia since 2017, experiencing severe, shock-like facial pain triggered by minor stimuli.
After years of misdiagnosis and ineffective medication, he underwent microvascular decompression surgery in 2018, which provided immediate and lasting relief.
Six years after his first symptoms, he completed the London Marathon, raising funds for the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association.
The condition affects about 8 in 100,000 people annually, with causes believed to involve nerve compression, and support is available through the TNA and NHS.
