I believe I could have "TMJ" "(Temporomandibular Joint). My mother think's I'm just full of it.That's it's all in my mind.
But I don't think so,cause of some of symptoms of "TMJ" like....
*Headaches "I have alot of them"
*Ringing in the ears "at times"
*Dizziness "I feel like I'ma black out at times"
**those are the ones I been having alot for the past year...
Now since 2 days ago when I woke up I'm having now...
Some Soreness and tightness around my right side on of my Jaw and Throat..and some head headaches and dizziness..
I can't open my mouth normal..like to brush my teeth and tongue, its hard to, or even eat... I have to have lil bites slowly...I also feel like my uper teeth stick out a lil more,and my lower teeth are pull back a lil .. which doesn't feel good at all when I talk..it's very uncomfortable..its like I can't stand it..
I been puttin some bengay on around the right side of my jaw and throat,cause my mom said it will losin up the muscles..
I don't know if it is TMJ..My mom says its not..But if you guys think it is..
What can I do??? How long does it last??? How can I treat it??? So my jaw can get back to NORMAL, "to where i can eat rite, brush my teeth right??" or will it never go back to normal?? And last "does bengay help it???"

Well, I was diagnosed 3 years ago with TMJ. I have the dizziness, ears ring really loud and sometimes buzz and pop, I get sharp pains in my ears, and have a hearing loss in my right ear. I also get bad sore throats, swollen glands, have difficulty swallowing, and sinus pain and drainage from it. TMJ is a host of symptoms, none of which are pleasant. What helps me is glucosamine/chondroiton supplements and MSM. Also, applying heat to the jaw joints, and using ActiveOn. Another great product I have found is SalonPas patches. They are not expensive, convenient to use, and really help relax the area. I get the SalonPas and the ActiveOn at Walgreens. One of the things that really flares up my TMJ is sitting at this computer, and clenching my teeth when I sleep. Alot of people who have fibromyalgia like me have TMJ as well.

TMJ is now called TMD, and thats because it's not just about the joint. It's about the muscles and ligaments too. If you have clicking or popping, then you have TMD. There aren't any permanent cures for TMD, but you should see the dentist, because they have many things the can do to prevent locking or pain. Read the link I have from The ADA.

It's TMJ. And NO bengay doesn't help. Try eating ice, and ice cream. And make up some excuse to go the dentist and tell him the problem.

This definitely sounds like TMJ to me. You need to go to the dentist and get this problem evaluated because there are ways to treat TMJ.

Forgot the critics my friend. Writing is a personal thing and it is your feelings and emotions you are expressing. I love your work because it is personal. I don't really care about perfect structure. Perfection is boring and over rated anyway. It's like a song played too perfectly. It is cold and impersonal. Give me a little sloppiness and emotion any day.
