    • Close TMJ

      I knew I was a tooth clencher for a long time and I also had chronic nerve pain in my shoulder, arm and neck. Saw a chiropractor who tried to treat it but finally said I would never be successful until i treated my TMJ. Saw a special orthodontist and found out my jaw had been broken (disc? I can't remember exactly what) for may years. I never noticed it hinged to the side when I opened. The put me in appliances and now braces and I am a happy happy girl with a lot less pain!!.

      Treatments

      CranioSacral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      This was pretty helpful but too expensive to continue... wish I could afford it.
      Mouthguard Working / Worked
      I had an NTI which was less expensive but it caused my jaw to lock closed which was not at all worth it.. Then I got a full bottom appliance which worked until I shrunk it in hot water, but I was never able to function when they tried to wean me off.
    • Close Food Allergies

      Wheat allergy (although GI docs think it is celiac) and Casein allergy. I am pretty successful about eating gluten free, terrible about the milk (cheese addict) I need to stop because I don't feel very well.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      Works when i can do it 100 percent.
    • Open Peptic Ulcers

      I have a couple of small ulcers, were bleeding a few months ago but I've been taking pills. They still bug me a lot. I need to stop drinking coffee and eating cheese. Think they are from taking too much ibuprofen many years ago.

      Treatments

      Nexium Working / Worked
      I got bad heart palpitations on this medications
      Protonix Somewhat Helpful
      I think it is doing something, but I haven't noticed any improvement after 3 months. I've read it causes cancer in rats so I don't want to stay on it much longer.
    • Open Families & Friends Affected By Suicide

      When I was 23 my mother killed herself.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      The first therapist I talked to wasn't much help but the second one introduced me to lots of great books which helped.
