Trigeminal Neuralgia

I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. It makes dieting and exercise hard at times. Since June 1 2020, I have lost 60 pounds which is great, but it isn't steady loss. Recently I lost 14 pounds due to TN. I am looking to see if anyone else has TN as well. Or any disease that interferes with diet and exercise.

    I also suffer from the dreadful Trigeminal Neuralgia. I am so sorry you have this condition. I have to lose a lot of weight. Exercising aggravates my pain. Recently I have had to almost triple my dose of Gabapentin and go on steroids. I swear just looking at the extra pill makes me gain weight. Godspeed to you!

    I also have trigeminal neuralgia. I lost a lot of weight due to it, and honestly I didn't mind. Oddly enough, running helps me. It's a horrible illness.
