Rene Morales is patient advocate for Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), a rare chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. TN pain is exceptionally severe and at one time was referred to as the “Suicide Disease” because those with TN would rather end their life than live with the pain associated with the condition. Diagnosed in 2018, Rene initially struggled with depression and isolation that affected not only his life, but those who surrounded him. Faced with a choice of continuing down the dark road of depression, or pull himself out of the downward spiral he had created, Rene started his journey to return to the person he was prior to his diagnosis with a renewed sense of purpose. To serve as a role model to others, Rene has shared his story of adversity through a variety of platforms to include motivational speech and storytelling, written essays, podcasts, and can be seen in the award winning “Unfixed” docuseries and in the upcoming feature documentary film “Why We Matter”.
