Welcome!
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.
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.
PLEASE REMEMBER: Patti as the Founder and owner, Chris as the co-owner, and Nikki as the moderator of the group are NOT RESPONSIBLE for any rudeness, flaming, or hurtful behaviors by any of the members. However, these behaviors are UNACCEPTABLE and will NOT be tolerated. Please remember that we are all in pain of one degree or another.
If there is something you disagree with or don't approve of,rather then arguing,just delete the post and forget about it.
We are always available to assist members with joining, changing settings etc. Please feel free to contact any one of the three of us if you have any questions or concerns relating to the group. Welcome to the group! It is our hope that this goup provides you with the support and social outllet that it has done for us.!
