Possible Tmj ??? Posted: 05-24-07 22:30pm
well am new here...but have had symptoms
for awhile.
headeache (forehead area), dizziness, very
fatigued, some ear ringing.
Had an mri 2 weeks ago...showed nothing
wrong. Have been taking ambien for sleep,
now the doc has me on a muscle relaxer.
Am also seeing a chiropractor who is
thinking tmj.
My jaw has always snapped. Could this be
the reason?
Also, have seen online a supplement
called serenitol?
Have you heard about this and does it
work?

There is a good possibility that all your
symptoms could be from TMJ. Getting good
sleep is essential but as you may grinding
your teeth at night, a bite splint may be
needed. I highly recommend going to a
dentist who dedicates a lot of his
practice helping TMJ patients.
I will pray for you that you find the
right help.
God bless...

update
I went to a local health food store today
looking for serenitol.
Mentioned it to the chiro this am. Spoke
w/ a man who works at the health food
store. He asked my symptoms and diagnosis
thus far...MRI etc.
He suspects I am deficient in magnesium
...gave me some trial packets of the
powder that you mix w/ hot water to try.
Told me to come back next week and let him
know.
Have done some research online and it
seems this could be a possibility.
Have had a couple spells w/ a low blood
sugar reaction in the last month as well.
My b/f is an insulin dependent diabetic
...he tested me the first time and my
sugar was 58. It seem the magnesium could
help there as well...what are your
thoughts.
PS...this is a wonderful forum...thanks
for being here.

id have to agree with your healthfood guy
and your bf. Magnesium would help a lot.
keep up good nutrition(keep it soft
though)

forum. We are proud of it. you are more than

Hello...me again.
I have been using the magnesium "drinks"
that the health food guru (LOL)
gave me...well between the chiro and
that...I have had a few days w/o
headaches. Sometimes it seems like I am
imagining the lack of headache...but they
are absent. FINALLY!
I do have another ??? though. W/ the tmj
has anyone had the shiners?
OMG...am starting to look like a raccoon!
Make up helps but this is crazy! Just
wondering where the eyes are in the
vicinity!!!
Again you are such a blessing.
Linda
PS....mentioned your site to my
Chiro....he says you are a reliable
source. He knows of your existence!
Whooooo HOOOO!!

Hey Posted: 05-29-07 13:42pm
are you talking of the ehealth forum? I
am at aloss as to which site you are
talking of.lol im clueless right now.
you more than likely are not imagining the
lack of headaches. that is a good sign.
may it continue!
yeah i have racoon eyes. I dont get a
whole lot of sleep so i try to blame it on
that. Good thing my glasses hide some of
it. if i dont wear them people wonder who
punched me.lol
the most important thing that you can do
is to keep up what you are doing and do
all your docs tell you to the letter. most
people dont do what the docs say and then
whine about how they arent working for
them and its their own fault. I know you
wont be like that though. you have a good
attitude about all of this. keep it up.
