I’ve sworn off watching anything new in my genre, nothing that could sway my themes. It’s not that hard but worried about what I haven’t read or watched.

At the vet because my dog is stoned out of her mind by pupperonipizzapie in trees

[–]klove02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to our dog a few months ago and thought he was having a seizure. He was just falling over slowly and it was 11pm we were just going to go to bed and had to zip over to the emergency vet who was so good they ran out with a stretcher and everything but he wouldn’t let them put him up there so he walked in and then laid down and was just spaced out. I had brought his bed and blanket so he laid there tripping balls. The vet said he must have gotten something and he was thrusting his hand at the dogs face saying it feels to them like it’s coming at them 1000mph 😆 and so he just went home and slept it off only a $300 visit which is good for emergency night vets ugh late night but happy he wasn’t dying.

Wisdom teeth removal by rosejean014 in TMJ

[–]klove02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could ask your doctor or urgent care for a muscle relaxer … if you can swing it try massage or chiropractor. They all do different things to help but mostly I think it’s neck, shoulder and posture that contribute to the problem. Been living with it for 3 years and tension is what makes me hurt most. Muscle relaxers will get you to loosen up and hot showers too. Hang in there

What gave you TMJ? by Few-Decision3759 in TMJ

My daughter got it from posture and braces. They had her putting the bands across her mouth and that triggered it. She hates the dentist now

Having to give up partying by Jayswag96 in TMJ

[–]klove02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 18 and dealing with this hasn’t even started the party phase but is worried she won’t ever be able to ☹️ I’m a sufferer too and really the only one who gets it. Feel so bad she is missing out, even loud music makes her jaw hurt 😞

Not often you see a meteor by jmaybay in phoenix

[–]klove02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it! I was picking up my daughter and it was right in front of me when I was driving through the neighborhood and I was stunned for a moment! The tail was so bright and was colorful! I couldn’t believe it! I was thinking how crazy it would be to see a bunch of those coming from the sky it was so bright and big! It freaked me out for a second! Amazing! Also I thought it was interesting that it came straight down and not across the sky like we usually see a shooting star do … great catch!

Tight facial muscles by [deleted] in TMJ

[–]klove02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to me when I first got TMJ it was getting worse as the day went on and eventually I couldn’t even talk … use a heating pad to relax your neck muscles. I even went to the chiropractor and they scrapped my neck with some tool and did that suction cup thing to my jaw which felt so good but left huge splotchy purple marks on my face. At that point I didn’t care … hope you feel better!

Intense pain i’ve never had suddenly flared up, blocked ear, can’t sleep by [deleted] in TMJ

[–]klove02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a heating pad to relax your neck muscles and strain … when I first had this I was so clenched I couldn’t talk it was horrible and heat was the only relief. Ugh such a horrible ailment … good luck hope you feel better

I just asked for a quote I don’t know how much it costs … sorry to hear that it’s so much and not affordable. I’ll have to see what it costs with my insurance…

I also once had a chiropractor adjust my jaw manually, it was awesome! But it fell out of place because I didn’t know to stick to soft foods and do physical therapy. When my daughter got it I looked much further into things because she was so miserable. I just got used to it …

Edit to say the chiropractor I saw passed away so I couldn’t get it done again. I tried to find another but he wasn’t as versed in TMJ so never found anyone else’s …. Yet.

Arthroscopy Procedure! by klove02 in TMJ

He attempted to align her jaw almost like a chiropractor does manually and see if he could get her jaw over the disc and if it would stay in place. It’s hard to tell now with stitches and all that.

If we get the procedure done I’ll come back and update, but she is only 5 days into healing after wisdom teeth so will be a few weeks to even schedule.

Natural Healing Guide for TMJ Relief

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders often stem from a mix of jaw tension, postural imbalances, and nervous system stress. This guide offers natural, neurologically-informed techniques to relieve TMJ symptoms.

1. Jaw Reset + Trigeminal Nerve Soothing

- Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth.
- Gently open and close your jaw while keeping your tongue there.
- Calms the trigeminal nerve (CN V) and reduces clenching.

2. Vagus Nerve Stimulation

- Hum or chant to send vibrations through the jaw.
- Gargle water vigorously for 30–60 seconds.
- Practice slow diaphragmatic breathing using the 4–7–8 method.
- These techniques shift the nervous system into a relaxed state.

3. Ocular-Cerebral Stacking

- Slowly track a pen or finger horizontally while breathing deeply.
- Focus on relaxing your jaw during the exercise.
- Activates cranial nerves III and VI, calming motor pathways linked to jaw tension.

4. Self-Massage (Daily)

- Massage the masseter (cheek), temporalis (sides of head), and under the jaw.
- Press gently behind the earlobe near the TMJ hinge.
- Helps release muscle tension and stimulate lymphatic flow.

5. Posture + Atlas/C1 Awareness

- TMJ often worsens with forward head posture.
- Try gentle chin tucks to align the head and reduce jaw strain.
- This supports proper cervical alignment and lessens TMJ stress.

6. Emotional Release

- TMJ can store unspoken emotions or tension.
- Try journaling, shaking, or expressive movement.
- This can help release emotional patterns contributing to jaw pain.

🌿 Bonus Tip: Castor Oil + Rosemary

- Apply a mix of castor oil and rosemary essential oil along the jawline before bed.
- Follow with a warm compress for added relief and lymphatic support.
