For some reason sucking on candy really helps me not have chest pressure. I have no idea what it is. I try to hold my mouth like that so I don't rot my teeth out but it doesn't work as well.

Right now I switch between sugar free hard candy and sugary candy. I also try to rinse my mouth out as much as possible so I don't completely destroy my teeth.

Unfortunately I am already starting to get tooth sensitivity and I've been doing this for a few weeks. On the plus side, I have not gotten as much brain fog and chest pressure and difficulty breathing!

I got botox. It didn't alleviate my chest pressure symptoms but I've not had as many migraines lately!

It was stupid expensive though.

I've been wearing my mouth guard more consistently and that has been helping. It's not perfect, but it's helpful. Also one paracetamol in the morning. For some reason the paracetamol tends to help more than ibuprofen.

More weird symptoms:

Back ache

Bladder problems (yay/s)

Symptoms in the morning but by the evening they tend to go away

Some of my weirder TMJ Symptoms

A physical feeling of anxiety after looking down for too long

Ditto but if I carry something on my back/lean against my back for too long

Dry eyes

Brain fog if I sit in a weird position for too long

Weirdly enough, these symptoms can be delayed if I wear my mouth guard. I have no idea why.

I hate this so much. I hate the discomfort.

When I am in agony at least I don't feel bad about not being able to function because I am in so much pain. But when its discomfort, I feel like I need to keep functioning. But every day I am in discomfort and I'm so sick of it.

Daily reminder that it doesn’t matter how “sick” other people believe you are, you are the only person who knows how you are feeling. If you say you need accommodations or need to participate in your daily life differently than others that is completely valid and up to you and no one is allowed to take that away.

I have TMJ and there's not a lot of great places online that go through all the symptoms, so I figured I'd start this blog to share resources and document my symptoms. Especially the rarer ones. As most medical websites describe the basic ones but there are more out there I am sure of it.
