Hi,

I have TMJ which I gather is quite normal for people with FM. My jaw sticks, clunks,hurts. I get pain both in front of and behind my right ear.

Hugs

It does sound like TMJ dysfunction. Your dentist should be able to help you with this - usually with some facial exercises and maybe a bite raising plate.

It could be TMJ but also it could be Myofascial Pain Syndrome, which I have, I had my symptoms on the left side of my body, you need to see a good dentist first to exclude TMJ but then you need to see a MPS specialist, 70% of people with fibromyalgia have it. xx

Thank you every one, I have seen a dentist two in fact, I was sent o Guys hospital dental dept and they one a number of tests nd said my teeth were fine no decays no nothing, saw my own dentist before guys as it was he that sent me there, they both said it was down to the fibro, I just wondered if any one else had the symptoms, I didn't know anyone else that as fibro to ask, then I found this site and wished I'd had more confidence in using the pc before because I could have had all these questions answered a long time ago, like I've said before I've had this fibro and other things for over 50yrs but the docs don't tell u anything do they, it's just "you have Fibromyalgia " and that's it, never told what to expect, mind u they didn't know anything about at first cos they diagnosed me with muscular rheumatism , when I was 11yrs thn in 1995 told e it was defo fibro, I have so many different pains that I was beginning to think I had something more seriouse but then I found this site and a lot of my worries answered , thanx for this site and all my fibro friends, ou be testing fed up with me asking has anyone go this or that, sorry this is so long, I'm on my own 90% of the time and I think I get verbal diarrhoea lol gentle hugs to u all xx

me too! My doggy just cant answer me back! Its hard being on your own all the time. Dont know bout you, but where I live there are no social groups as such where you can just meet people to talk to. Now, for a city, you think there would be plenty wouldnt you?! I think life in general is getting very anti social, no one seems to have time for each other any more. Well, rant over!xx

Hi snowbell, how r u, I live with daughter but they are all out at work by 7.30am and they don't get home till 7pm and they are too shattered to hold on a conversation, and I'm in my room 90%!of the time, I have a dog called Sophie, there are three dogs here but Sophie is mine as I had her before I lived with my daughter, but she is very sickened living on borrowed time, but she listens to all my problems she just answer back lol, I only know of one social club but they all have an old outlook, I know I'm 72 but my mind isn't if u know what I mean lol, they play bingo a lot but I'm keen on that either don't mind it now and again, what sort of go do u have......I'm very talkative when I go out but no one seems to want to talk do they even to just say good morning ect, oh well my moan over too lol nice to talk to you xxx

Sorry snowbell I seem to have made plenty of mistakes there , should read I'm not keen on bingo, and should read she is very sick and living on borrowed time,, by the way I have a little Westie ....Dee x
