Hi. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a 68 year old woman with TMJ. I’ve had it for decades. I’ve always suffered from pain. The last couple of years my husband has been in a lot of rehab and hospitals. I noticed my pain would jump from one side of my body to another and back again. Because I was under so much stress the last two years, I’ve kept a pain journal. I was trying to make sense of all the pain that made no sense to me. I recently realized that I’m suffering from Nuro plasticity. It was recommended to me to read the book “the way out” which I have been doing. I’m still very early in this journey of trying to deal with the pain and help to alleviate it. I just want to connect with others that are going through similar situation. Currently, I feel like I’m all alone with this pain and it’s really frightening.
