TMJ 'dysfunction' - Health implications

Depression - Low-Energy breakthrough
I have never been diagnosed as having ME or Chronic Fatigue. But I have had a history of vague symptoms that chime with these two illnesses: depression, low energy, cold hands & feet, poor digestion, slow metabolism, low blood pressure & an eating disorder since I was 14/15.

I always suspected something was wrong, but any medical professional I have ever been to never took my symptoms seriously. I stopped having periods for a number of years - again, this was because I wasn't eating properly.

However, my problems started years before my eating disorder took hold. When I was born, I was born in the 'brace' position - my head was face up, rather than tucked into my chest like normal births. My first memory is of physical pain in my neck & no strength in my neck. I did not start to walk until I was almost 3. My mother eventually took me to see a Consultant, who examined me and pronounced me as 'lazy'.

Aged 33, I discovered Dr Amir at Atlasbalance. I went to him because I was suffering a lot from neck pain. He told me my Atlas Vertebra was out of place. He had a look at my teeth. During my teens, I was sent to a total cowboy of an Orthodontist who took two of my teeth out and whacked a brace on my teeth. Dr Amir asked when I began to have Orthodontic treatment - it was aged 14/15 - exactly coinciding with the onset of my eating disorder. He made the connection between the two. I was more dubious.

From that initial consultation, it took me 18 months to pluck up the courage to begin having treatment with Dr Amir. I was worried about the cost/time involved.

I have been wearing a brace now for 1 week to realign my jaws. In that short time, I have experienced a huge shift. My energy level is better than ever before. I now realise how ill I was. I always wondered where the others around me - my siblings & friends - got their energy from. Furthermore, I was literally dragging myself around but because it had always been that way, I didn't know that life could be any different. I feel like a different person - I am on better form, more positive, I feel more able to cope. I feel less daunted by working & holding down a full-time job (I have always only been able to work part-time & felt such a failure about that without realising it had so much to do with my energy levels).

I am hopeful that my problems & fear connected to food may well be because I put on weight so easily due to such a slow metabolism. Likewise, I am excited now that I may have got to the root cause of it. I always thought the root cause was psychological - what had happened in my childhood to make me like that? But now, Dr Amir has helped me to see there was a physical problem to begin with. Wearing this brace has been a huge breakthrough for me.
