Hi all. I have been on the board before under a different name, Lisalee. I thought I had a handle on this whole DTMJ thing and I guess I am at the end of my rope. I have been getting BOTOX since 97. My original OMFS would not put my total joint replacements in till he found some way to preserve the new joints going in. That is when he introduced me to BOTOX and it has been part of my life ever since. He unfortunately had to retire last year and just before he left gave me my last injections. I have not had the same amount given since. I do have constant headaches and they get closer and worse. I grind more than I would like to admit. What are we suppose to do? I work 2 jobs. One full time one part time. Have 2 very active kids and a husband. I live in IL and need some answers. Have any? Thanks for listening. tia
