its interesting, that when i had been having headaches that became daily a few years ago, along with waking up with them and the rest, i ran into a guy online who knew what my problem was when no doctors could even help. I had had sinus surgery and a bunch of other crap for a couple years, anyways, i was baffled, especially when the jaw probs started. I had mentioned to this guy that i thought i had jaw problems but i had this crazy headache deal too, waking every day! I told him i was looking into a splint, and he tells me" don't get a splint!, it will end up making your bite all messed up end down the line you'll get worse!" and then tells me, "get whatever, whoever, is stressing you out, out of your life! as soon as possible!" Needless to say, i didnt heed his advice and am now dependent on the NTI,but my bite is cool so far so. But i wonder if i would've listened right then and there , and just packed my bags and went someplace peaceful if I wouldve gotten better and saved myself months of misery...........pretty weird stuff!

Close TMJ
I have TMJ and I'm wearing a lower plate now, have done for 3 weeks. I grind my teeth and clench my jaw and its stress related. I am in alot of pain and quite depressed alot of the time.
Treatments
- Mouthguard Working / Worked
- So far the lower plate has worked abit but some days I get alot of pain and others its not too bad. I just want to know how long this is going to last for.
Close Anxiety
Hi, I've got TMJ and definitely I'm an anxious person and this contributes to it. I have practiced yoga for many years on and off and I think that worked for a while but now with the TMJ it all feels worse again. I am trying to relax and do alot of the time but whilst at work I live off nervous energy.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- Deep breathing, yoga breathing definitely helps.
- Hypnotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Not sure if the hypnosis worked but at the time I had it it felt wonderful, wish that feeling would stay with me all the time though
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- I don't meditate for long enough but I think if I did it would help
Open Hypermobile Syndrome
I have hypermobile joints and a very unstable back and in the past year I now have TMJ which is common for hypermobile people apparently
Treatments
- Humex Too Soon to Tell
