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.
