I bought numerous "relaxation" cds and done plenty of exercise therapies but to no avail . I have also tried every TMJ treatment known to science and natural health with conviction, desire and hope that it will make a difference.
I Still Suffered From Severe TMJ Disorder and Chronic Nightly Bruxism! Years went by slowly and painfully as my TMJ condition became worse that ever , I visited my doctor.
I just could not sleep. I was stressed angry and depressed all the time. The extreme sleep-deprivation along with the immense stress I was experiencing took their toll and I became very depressed.
I spent hours at the library swallowing stacks of books, journals and magazines about TMJ, bruxism, and nutrition and reading every word.
But I didn't just read. I interviewed countless of other TMJ sufferers and endlessly picked the brains of every doctor, chiropractor, herbalist, homeopath and naturopath...kind enough to lend me minutes of their time and fragments of their expertise and knowledge only to find a solid solution to my TMJ .
The Lack of Sleep, Stress and Anxiety Caused by My TMJ Lead To Severe Depression While I did find some minor relief, it was always temporary and the painful TMJ symptoms and teeth grinding came back with a vengeance and sometimes got to be even worse than before the treatments.
I have tried: different mouth guards and splints, herbal remedies, detox diets, vitamin therapy, aromatherapy, reflexology, Chinese Medicine, vegetarianism, magnetic therapy, and what not.
I Tried Every Possible TMJ and Teeth Grinding Treatment Under The Sun! Book knowledge and interviews are one thing, but it's not the same as knowledge from actual experience.
These approaches don't work either! I know because I tried them all and I still suffered from severe TMJ.
So I started studying - and hard! I bought every book on facial and jaw pain, teeth grinding, nerve damage, sinus issues, mouth and muscle therapies, oriental medicine, detoxing, dieting, and nutrition that I could get my hands on.
Scientific facts, figures and theories weren't enough. I tried other types of prescription drugs and took muscle relaxers, vitamins and oriental medicinal herbs on a daily basis with high hopes for a change.
I was determined to find a natural solution to my problem despite of what my doctors had recommended. I became obsessed with the subjects of holistic health and nutrition. I wanted to know everything there was to know about how to cure TMJ and prevent it permanently - I've been absolutely consumed by this quest.
Out of sheer desperation I have bought additional alternative medicine books on TMJ and was amazed to find out that most if not all offered partial dietary advice along with exercises and special herbal supplements.
Now, 14 Painful Years and Thousands of Diligent Work Hours Later, The TMJ Puzzle Was Finally Solved...
He apologized in a very formal and polite manner and said he was sorry but there was nothing he could do.
That it will finally eliminate my TMJ and bring me my life back. Over the years I have spent a small fortune trying every type of product and treatment you can think of.
