Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Yes, I recall getting jaw fatigue with chewing too much...usually steak....over the years. Roxanna V. Knight-Plouff, D.V.M. W Plouff North Star German Shepherd Dog Rescue Inc northstargsdr@... www.northstargsdr.org Of muscle pain While on this subject of muscle pain, I have to ask, does anyone else have JAW muscle problems? Can;'t quite call it pain, tiredness is more descriptive. I notice this when eating anything I have to do much chewing on, steaks, salads, even sometimes a sandwich. I have often wondered if this has a thyroid link as it seems to come & go with me, like all my other thyroid symptoms!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I have had TMJ problems most all of my life. I always clench my teeth together, which results in a tired achy jaw. I have had various appliances, and braces to correct it, chiropractic adjustments, and nothing has really helped much until recently when I upped my armour. It was one of the unexpected benefits I saw. nne _____ From: nc2406@...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I've had TMJ problems for many years. I used to sleep with one of those bite guards but it really didn't help.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I have it, and it's a puzzle, huh? I know some would say that I'm not " having any fun " , but it's as though my jaw won't support my smile. I know that I do have some dental problems, due to shifting of teeth, etc....two teeth missing that shouldn't be, both molars, so my constant chewing mechanism would be off anyway, but the pressure around my ears seems to be greater when my throat has that full feeling, and a swollen thyroid, frankly. I've been suspecting that it's all very connected, but then thought maybe my immagination was working overtime also. I wish I had info on this one, as it's very aggravating. I do realize also that, as we get older, things start shifting " downward " , lol, but there's so much tension involved here, that I've got to think that it has nothing to do with aging.
