*My TMJ Splint Update*

Hi guys, Max here with another update....

Well, I'm one week into my splint treatment. Overall, I think the splint is helping in shifting my bite. I do experience my same symptoms which I'm getting more convinced is unrelated to my bite I get a feeling of tightness in my stomach, irritation in my throat, a raw feeling in my mouth, and sensitivity in my lips. Most of you heard my story, but initially my doctors thought is was GERD so we tried treatment for that with little success. We did various blood test.....everything came back normal.

I know it's only a week but I just don't know if TMJ/an off bite could contribute to this. My ENT is having my do an MRI before I see a neurologist to see if it could be nerve related pain. So I'm due for that next monday.

My dentist also wants to see me in two weeks to see how I am doing. She said, if not better, we are going to shift your bite a little more forward and possible will need to replace your upper bicuspids.

Well, the journey to good health continues. Let me know your thoughts on this guys. Thanks.

Max
