Hello everybody,
Had anyone have experienced TMJ? I'm not quite sure if it is really TMJ for me. I've been having these symptoms for a long time now. Blurry vision, headaches at the back of the head, balance problems, ear pain feeling of fullness, tooth pain, jaw joint problem, throat, etc., etc...
My med onc think it might be TMJ?
Thanks for taking time to read my post. And yeah, some memory issues...:-(

Hugs,
Gemma
