Hiya,
I'm wondering how the TMJD treatment went?
I ask because a series of ear infections has led my primary care doctor to conclude I have Eustacian Tube Dysfunction and possible TMJD. How did you pick your specialist for TMJD?
She suggested I go to the dentist to get a thorough evaluation.
It is just one diagnosis after another, isn't it?
I am hoping you are doing well-one day at a time is my new mantra.
best,
