TMJ / TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorder, is a term used to describe a group of symptoms including headaches; facial pain; jaw pain; sore, chipped, broken, or worn teeth, clicking or popping in the jaw, and limited jaw movement. In many cases people suffering from TMJ / TMD report chronic pain in the jaw, teeth, face, head, neck, shoulders, or back, or any combination of these areas. Snoring, grinding of teeth, frequent ear infections and restricted airway are other problems associated with TMJ / TMD. This group of symptoms is also referred to as MPD (myofascial pain dysfunction) and craniomandibular dysfunction.
Who Suffers From TMJ
The majority of people suffers to a greater or lesser degree from TMJ. Although women report more pain from TMJ, TMJ in men causes as much or more damage to the teeth, gums, bones and joints. Children are especially sensitive to TMJ and usually show early signs with ear infections, leaning their head on an arm, lip, cheek, or finger biting, sucking or chewing, headaches, snoring, grinding of their teeth at night, and significant chewing of gum.

Jilda,
Don't even *think* about jumping off a high bridge--whether you just said that out of frustration or you have seriously contemplated it. That is not what you want to do. You obviously don't feel well and want to find out what is causing you to be sick and hopefully get some sort of help for it so you can feel better, so that is the path you should continue to pursue--in spite of the incredulity of your doctors.
I have been down that path myself, Jilda, and felt suicidal on a number of occasions during the past 13 years--usually after leaving the doctor's office, but I knew that if I harmed myself I would only "prove them right." And that wasn't my goal-my goal was to get a diagnosis and hopefully get some kind of treatment for whatever was wrong with me. I told my mother that the only way they would ever figure out what was wrong with me was when they did an autopsy on me, because no doctor was willing to believe that I was actually ill. I used to pray over and over, "Please, God, help me. Nobody else will." After spending 13 years trying to convince doctors that my symptoms were not psychosomatic I am FINALLY on my way to getting a diagnosis and am BELIEVED! I know your desperation. I only hope you are more assertive and persistent than I was. You know better than anyone what you used to feel like and what is normal for you/your body. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
Why don't you print up a copy of the CCF doctor's posting with his suggestions and take it with you to the next doctor appointment and ask them to comment on what he said. He recommended a brain MRI among other things. Insist on having the brain MRI, especially if you are willing and able to pay for it out of pocket.
The sooner you find out what is causing you to be off- balance, your spaciness, head pressure symptoms the better, because if there is any available treatment then you can get it. Best wishes to you.

I would get an MRI of your head. That is the most important information that I could give about your body. In March 2006 I got an MRI result with Chiari. There can be up to 46 symptoms for it. I started getting symptoms after a nasty fall I had in early 2005. I had a bad really headache and felt like I couldn
i have had my ears checked by and ear specialist , nothing wrong with my ears .
i have noticed i have crusty fluro geen stuff coming out for my nose come to think of it this all started when i had bad congestion in my sinuses 3 months ago and i had a lot of green mucus

First of all, keep in mind that I am unable to diagnose you because I am unable to examine you, this forum is for educational purposes.
The symptoms that you describe would suggest dysfunction in the cerebellum (the area of the brain that controlls balance and motor coordination). Chronic alcohol use can lead to damage and atrophy of the vermis of the cerebellum and lead to many of the symptoms that you describe (including the fatty liver). The affects of alcohol can be permanent and will not 'fully improve' despite quitting consumption and replacing lost vitamins. Other possibilites include Wilson's disease, tumor afffecting the cerebellum, sarcoidosis, lymphoma, or chronic infection such as viral infection, syphillis, tuberculosis, HIV etc. The symptoms of 'bumps behind the ears' suggest enlargement of the posterior auricular lymph nodes, which can be found in many infections. I would suggest an MRI of your brain with GAD contrast (the CT scan is not adequate), basic lab work including CBC, CMP, RPR, HIV test, ACE level, copper/ceruloplasmin and ESR. I would also suggest a lumbar puncture to evaluate for infection or inflammation. I would supplement your balanced diet with 1mg of Folate and 100mg of Thiamine per day. You should also have an ENT look at you ear for any causes of local pain or infection (inner ear problems/infections can also cause a similar loss of balance/drunk feeling).
I hope this has been helpful.

Hi, I am not a doctor but have you had an ear infection lately or been examined for mastoiditis? The symptoms are amongst others, loss of balance, ear pain and a lump to form behind the ear. It is easily treatable with antibiotics but very dangerous if left untreated. It is not so common these days-my diagnosis was a coincidence through an mri to check the growth rate of a brain tumor.

Hi, Did you also have a lump behind your ear?
hi
im not a doctor but i had a same symptoms as you for years and got so many differents diagnoses from doctors, meneires,tmj,anxiety,i could go on...........
i had mri also and it always came back saying i had a chiari malformation, the doctors always said oh thats nothing that wouldn't cause all that. well i continued to get worse where i couldn't do even simple tasks no memory, dizziness was terrib;e that lost in space feeling like i was in a nother world, a zoney feeling, then i went to a neurologist and yes the chiari was my problem. maybe look it up.
i hope you don't have it but if you do at least you'll finally find out whats wrong
take care

please go to the doctor and show him the bump behind your ear. My brother had the same thing happen, he had an infection, but he waited forever to have it looked at and it got so bad they had to surgically remove the bump. Your inner ear can cause balance problems and such. Take care and keep us updated : )
