TMJ STORIES!
Candle of Love, Hope and Knowledge
This candle signifies the light we wish to shine on the
Knowledge needed, to continue our struggle against our
pain, suffering and injustices...Please, don't let the light go out...
FOR ANGELS UNITED WE STAND TOGETHER!
We need justice. We need toleration, honesty and moral courage.
These are modern virtues without which we cannot hope to
control the forces science has let loose among us.
-I.A.R. Wylie
I just want to thank everyone here who has sent me their Tmj Story or has given me their permission to place there STORY on here! They are are True Angel's for taking the the time and typing up their story so other's can learn from them!
Special Thanks for those that took the time to check for spelling error's
and all the rest that goes with it.
It is not easy writing your life 's medical history down.
It is very hard on everyone to speak out what was done to them.
But we need to be heard so others can learn
from what we went through please read our poem that tells what we all feel!!

This TMJD Support Group is intended to be a Safe Haven and provide a place where people with TMJ pain can come and offer and receive support from people who know what they are going through. This is not a medical group and we do not have medical degrees or medical backgrounds. However, with the variety of members in here, there is bound to be someone who has been there and done that and can answer your questions.
This group is in memory of Debbie Ward whom suffered from TMJD & died of unknown causes.
There are many types of members with TMJD. Some have been treated medically, some treated with various splint therapies and physical therapies as well as some with surgical treatments ranging from Arthroscopy to full jaw joint replacements. Everyone with any degree of TMJD or has a family member that deals with it is
welcome to join and offer and receive support that we all so badly need to get through each day with the pain we have to live with.
It is YOUR place to cry, scream or vent on the pain you are dealing with and how it is affecting your life and the lives of your loved ones. The group is MODERATED to avoid the unsolicited advertisements and spam. We are all in pain and do not need to have to deal with that too.
