Does painful jaw clicking and popping make it difficult for you to eat normally?

When you have chronic clicking, popping, or pain in your jaw, it can make everything that much more difficult. It is already hard enough deciding what to make for dinner, but even worse when nothing sounds good because it is too painful to eat anything other than soup or pasta. And it’s not just eating – severe pain in your jaw can also affect your sleep, ability to talk, and overall ability to function.

This severe jaw pain can make life seem unbearable. Luckily, there are techniques out there to not only manage your current pain, but to also prevent future flare-ups. Finally, you can live your life without worrying about your TMJ symptoms. In TMJ is Ruining My Life, author and pharmacist Chelsea Liebowitz will guide you through:

• Understanding your jaw anatomy and what happens when it hurts
• Knowing the difference between acute and chronic pain, as well as how to treat each one
• Determining the possible causes for your jaw pain
• Learning pain management techniques to help prevent painful flare-ups

Read TMJ Is Ruining My Life;now to start managing your intolerable jaw pain, and take back your life!

Chelsea Liebowitz grew up in Farmington Hills, MI, where she endured her fair share of chronic illness. Despite constantly feeling ill, she was determined to graduate from the University of Michigan, and so she did, three times. She received a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience prior to heading to the College of Pharmacy. She then took a year out of pharmacy school to get a master’s degree in clinical research through the School of Public Health, which focuses on epidemiology and translational research (the goal of which is to quickly get research from bench to bedside to improve health outcomes). After completing her Doctor of Pharmacy, Chelsea took a year off to manage her own chronic health conditions, including a detox from copper. It was in this year she wrote TMJ Is Ruining My Life to help others manage chronic jaw pain and gain a new perspective on pain and pain management.

It is so nice to know you’re not alone in this battle. I’ve suffered from TMJ for 10 years and it’s only gotten worse, came across this book while ordering mouth guards, read it in one sitting. Easy to read/understand and helps you feel less alone in your battle.

I liked how honest the author was about her experience. She was able to share a lot of knowledge based on her own experience and research. A must read for anyone with chronic pain. No cure but hope and education.
