Temporomandibular joint

Well, believe it or not I've wondered about the TMJ thing since this ordeal has been going on. It was just in the back of my mind. I'm seeing all these professionals from neurologist to physicians to physical therapists. Why wouldn't any of them even touch on the subject? I called my orthodontist earlier and he doesn't handle TMJ. He referred me to someone else. I have an appointment next Thursday. The receptionist told me the initial appointment will last two hours! Hell, two hours is nothing compared to what I've been through. My eyes are burning and bloodshot from lack of sleep. I just want to go out in the desert and scream and/or bury my head in the sand. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing me bitch, but if you had this continuous pain all around your helmet you'd bitch too!
When I researched TMJ weeks ago I discovered that it is tough to treat because the TMJ area is one that doesn't get much blood.
