How does TN affect eating?
Bea, this is a pretty broad question. I'm sure our members will have a lot to say on the topic, but you may also want to browse through this search to see which former discussions may be useful to you:

Are you currently having discomfort while eating?
For me, stabbing through the lower jaw when I chew, which tends to take all the fun out of eating. They range from sharp to "O.M.G. I can never eat solid food again!!" ( said with tears sreaming down my face ) I'm often scared to eat in public because I don't know if I can control my reactions.
Some get prescription
lidocaine mouthwash for the pain in mouth.
