Curtis @ 23/10/2017 19:26 TMJ and occasionally (once) a fake-out heart attack. Otherwise lucky despite my poor diet and complete disregard of exercise My TMJ hurts like hell tho and I would trade any one of you to get rid of it My cousin has it and I can't imagine having anything worse than my jaw spasming occasionally

The people I know who have it all have different cases a bit, mine's not quite like that. One friend has those spasms, another can't clench down on a piece of pizza which BLOWS! Mine does the usual popping and clicking but basically just hurts all the time. The more I realize it hurts then the more I'll pop it and the more it'll end up hurting, so I just have to try to ignore it. The worst part about TMJ is that you can't really ever get it fixed from what I've heard, you can get surgery to stop it from getting worse and stuff but I think it's mostly with you forever. Probably a case by case basis tho

But one time I woke up and my shirt and chin were covered in blood. Opened my mouth and it was full of blood and my tongue was purple. My jaw locked on my tongue in the middle of the night and almost SEVERED IT! The teeth marks were meeting in the middle, it was disgusting but fixed itself in a few days. I've heard of people severing their tongue and then choking to death on it as they sleep. yikes

Another time I woke up and couldn't open my mouth for about 4 hours before it finally just popped open

I’m gonna give you TMJ Wikey

Oh how could I forget, I’m a redhead

FUCK YOU WIKEY!

I did blood work awhile ago and the doctor said all my levels were (surprisingly) very good and then he got to Vitamin D on his chart and said "oh dear."

You should all start making everyone ELSE leave the room/office when you use the phone. STAND YOUR GROUND!
