Woman throws herself from car park after years of excruciating pain caused by 'suicide disease'

A woman threw herself from the top storey of a car park after spending months living in excruciating pain.
Janette Warburton, 58, suffered from trigeminal neuralgia, set off by a cracked filling.
The condition causes facial nerve pain and is dubbed “the suicide disease” because it is so agonising.
An inquest in Blackpool heard Mrs Warburton died in March from multiple injuries.
Coroner Alan Wilson agreed she intended to kill herself.
Her sister Carol Clements, 61, said Mrs Warburton had been in pain for five years but in December it became unbearable.
She said: “She bit down on something hard and it really set the pain off. She couldn’t cope with it.”
She added: “I felt she did not get the help she needed for pain relief. If she had she would be here today.”
