$10,000 Matching Challenge
Dear Friends of The TMJ Association, the most important investment that we make this coming year will be to advance TMJ science through our sixth scientific meeting, to be held in spring 2011, in the Washington, DC area.
Growing up with a TMJD Mom
I have never known my mom without TMJD, and this gave me a unique childhood. In the 28 years I have been alive, I have never seen Mom pick up a heavy object, run, chew a piece of gum, or go for more than a few hours without lying down. I have seen her bandaged up like a mummy, after jaw surgery. I have experienced her frustration choosing between having less pain and suffering, or living with medication side effects such as memory loss and drowsiness.
Living with TMJ Disorders – A Team Approach
My wife Elizabeth and I have been living with TMJ Disorders for the last 28 years. Yes, I say both of us have been living with it, because although she is the one with constant pain, who has endured multiple surgeries, and tried countless treatment programs – it affects both of us. In fact, TMJ Disorders impacts not just the patient but everyone around them.
