Re: Common thread among us

Hi,

I also have TMJ. It started about 3 months after the VV symptoms. The 75 mg

of Amitryptiline helped the VV pain but did nothing for the TMJ.

I also had Irritable Bowel and probably a touch of FM although I was never

diagnosed with that. I just remember the horrible pains in the back of my

legs and even at the tailbone. The Amitryptiline probably helped with that

pain too because I haven't had it in a while.

I also had bloody noses for about 2 years about 2-3 times a week. That

started at the same time as the VV. I was referred to an ENT and I've been

bloody nose free for almost 2 years now.

Any suggestions for the TMJ?

Health and happiness,

Sheri

I was just reading one of the posts and found my mouth wide open. I never

knew

there was a connection with our symptoms. I have TMJ, FM, tailbone pain

(lower

back) and multra valve prolapse, plus yeast infections and bladder infections

and high stress. Interesting how all this connects. Lainey

I feel that my VV started with my childbirth, which I'd call pretty traumatic

(to the tissues down there, anyway). I also think hormones must play some

kind of role. When my period starts I always have aching in my vulvar area,

even before I've used any pads or tampons. I wish someone would do a study

find out more about the links between VV and other disorders as well as with

childbirth and what role hormones play. By the way, I've never had a yeast

infection.

The best treatment for TMJ is to put a moist heating pad against the jaw line

while watching TV or reading. It works wonders when the pain gets intense.
