Hello,

I have been living with a numb jaw/cheeks sensation for about 5 years now and it is starting to really aggrivate me as I cant find a cure for it. I first though I had TMJ and then blamed wisdom teeth. The wisdom teeth have been removed and TMJ is not a believable reason to me at this time. I mainly get the sensation when I meet new people or in an uncomfortable environment. I came to a conclusion it is caused from stress.

I went to the dentist and was prescribed a mouth guard because I have been grinding my teeth for a very long time and it is starting to show.

I read some posts and did see people experiencing my problem and are pretty shocked and puzzled themselves. I wish someone can give me a solution as I completely ran out of hope to get rid of this symptom. Im in good healthy shape and am very athletic.

Please if someone can point me into the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Here are my symptoms:


Sore/stiff/popping jaw almost like TMJ
Intense, chronic headaches (blinding stabbing pains/pressure)
loss of ability to problem solve/make decisions (produces anxiety attacks)
cannot follow conversation becomes to overstimulated/complex for me
inability to concentrate
loss of vision in both eyes (gradually came back - now have multiple images/floaters/auras/after images/grainy-fuzzy vision in both)
vertigo/dizziness
extreme mood swings
no patience
intolerable of exercise, alcohol, or sugar....increases severity of all symptoms ridiculosuly.
Negative thoughts
Anxiety
