TMJ and anxiety disorders Posted: 03-29-08 02:25am
Please, Please, Please help me find some
relief. I have been suffering for almost a
year with what the Doctors say is TMJ but
the pain is excruciating and I am at the
oint that I can not take it anymore. I
have been to all these doctors (ENT, GP,
Dentist, TMJ Specialist, Chiropractor) and
I am still in pain 24/7. I am a single Mom
and I have to work and be bale to take of
my child. I have spent way more money than
I had already because the pain is
unbearable but I still have no relief. I
was in a very abusive marriage and I don't
know if that could have caused this but if
so it only adds insult tp injury because
even though I was finally able to get
away, he is still torturing me through
this pain and suffering. I don't know
where to turn or what to do but I have to
do something because I can't continue to
live like this. Please help!

One of the possible reasons for your
TNJ-syndrome is anxiety. When all organic
possibilities are excluded, the only
possibility left is anxiety. It is likely
that depression is the main reason for
your migraine and TMJ. Your unsuccessful
marriage also has contributed to your
depressive condition. You may want to
consult a psychiatrist about this. He may
help you to overcome the emotional issues
you are bothered with.
