As an Hughes Syndrome patient I'm aware of foggy head symptoms which I'm currently experiencing, however this is now joined with upper and lower jaw pain......
I'm currently redecorating the whole of my 3 bed semi house to put it on the market, could the jaw pain be more to do with the stress of my current situation or to do with my Hughes Syndrome?
It's starting to get me down now.

HI, jaw pain can come about from a number of things, anything from grinding your teeth in your sleep, this: nhs.uk/conditions/temporoma... Also it can indicate in some causes a more urgent problem. I can't give you medical advice, but I would go and check it out with the GP explaining clearly your underlying conditions. MaryF
For what it's worth, I also had significant jaw pain until I was properly anti-coagulated (along with scary numbness in the face). So perhaps a greater focus on your ideal INR might be in order. May or may not fix your current issue, but on a global basis might put you in a better place than you are now. Good luck.
I have had jaw-pain and dental-pain with no explanation.
I am not a doctor but I have got APS and I have had Eye/ear/balance symptoms and a Specialist on these areas explained to me that I had microembolies. So tiny clots not seen on MRI because we have too thick blood!
Have you found an APS-specialist now ? Such a doctor and anticoagulation is a good start to feel better.
Also read "Sticky Blood Explained" by Kay Thackray. It is some years now but still relevant and the symptoms are the same. She has got the illness herself and writes about how it is to live with this illness. It is also a good reading for relatives to be able to understand us better. I have got it in pocket.
Hi, I've had tmj problems for years. That is pain in the joint that connects the jaws. It also causes bad Headaches. I was told for years it was stress, teeth grinding..... I've had many dental splints to try and help. This year when I mentioned to my hemotologist, she just said, yup, tmj problems are part of the syndrome!
