- I am in western NC and I see a neurologist in Hickory, NC. I've been seeing him since my diagnosis in January of 2010 but I don't feel all that can be done is being done, so I am looking for a second opinion. Does anyone live in this area (or...
- Has anyone experienced this or know anything about this happening?For the past 2-3 weeks I've been having the same type of pain on the left side of my face as the right. Anyone that's had TN pain knows that pain....and its defiantly not pain you...
