Hi,

I'm a young adult living with polyarthritis since age 6 -I have Still's disease-.

I'd like to have more info on TMR.

I have little pain to my joints in this area and it functions well -opening is smaller than average, but ok. My eating and speaking are normal-.
I know I'm lucky because generally when these joints are affected, normal functions -as eating and speaking- are also affected a lot.

The problem for now is mostly esthetic. My lower jaw and chin are really small... So small that it seems I don't have a chin (only a little bump)...
well hard to explain...

But, I was wondering if someone with juvenile arthritis is experiencing the same thing, because it seems I'm the only one on the planet! lol

More seriously, I would like to have info on possible surgery treatment and have feedbacks from people to have the same symptoms as I do.

Thanks a lot!

Stella
