Does anyone here have TMJ?

Does the pain sometimes make you really tired? Half my day today was wasted because of jaw and TMJ pain😢 Laid down two hours then was too tired to get things done, and the pain still lingered.

I do, but I have trigeminal neuralgia and migraines too which all set each other off. Moist heating pads help me with the neuralgia and tmj. I microwave them and it usually calms them.

@Baybreeze It used to be referred to as “the suicide disease” because people were in so much pain they were killing themselves.

@MellyMel22 What a horrible condition...do they know the cause?

@Baybreeze For me it was from shingles on my jawline. I was weening off a med that I had never taken anything like before but used off label by dr and it shocked my system and the shingles caused the damage from being untreated b/c they had no idea what it was. I was in my 20’s and all they said was I was having stroke symptoms w/out even one risk factor for it 😒 My neuro diagnosed it when I saw him, but the nerve damage was already done.

I haven't had a flare up in a very long time. *knock on the wood*

The pain is all there is. Everything is painted with it.
All the time.
You can try to ignore it. But it will always remind you that it is there.

@Baybreeze dental insurance is terrible, i pay a lot for coverage, it covers only a very small amount. you can search around for a boarded pain specialist, they may have some suggestions how to get some of the work covered.

@samueltyler2 You mean like a pain management clinic?
