Does your jaw hurt and sometimes pop? Is it painful for you to open your mouth? You could have TMJ disorder, a condition that commonly overlaps with fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS).
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is what connects your jaw to your head. It can cause a little discomfort or a lot of pain – and because of our heightend sensitivity to pain, you can imagine that it’s usually pretty painful for those of us with FMS or ME/CFS.
