Hi everyone, i am a tmj sufferer and have
had it for 5 years now. it all started
with clicking, and 5 years on is taking
over my life!
the symptoms i have are: jaw pain,
headaches, earaches, blocked ears, ringing
ears, tooth aches, sore eyes, neck ache,
back ache, arm and right side of body
numbness and tingling sensation. i have
only just recently started to suffer from
insomnia and its driving me crazy. these
symptoms started off every now and then
but now they
i have tried physio theraphy, soft food
diet, night plate, excercise, using heated
and cold product for pain relief, but
unfortunatly none have really helped and
are only very temporary pain relief. the
pain used to come early morning and late
at night, but now all day, everday.
i tried acupuncture and massage which i
find help the most, but i hate inflicting
it on my boyfriend as i feel so sorry for
him having to always deal with my problem!
i just want to tell all my fellow tmj
sufferers that there is hope, as some
methods of pain relief can be a solution
for you. dealing eith tmj means you have
to be determined to conquer it. it is
important that you keep trying different
methods and try to stay positive. dont let
it get to the point where you are
considering suicide or anything!
good luck to you all i hope your tmj gets
better!
