Hello! Anyone else experience TMJ? I’ve had it once before, long before my autoimmune disease. If anyone has, are there any home remedies?

Hi @A myPBCteam Member
Thanks for the useful information! My dentist had asked me if I grind my teeth. I was going to start with the dentist and when I see her, I will ask about Invisalign.
I have a headache that comes and goes, my jaw hurts on the right hand side when I wake up. When I open my mouth it’s sore. Yuck! If it’s not one thing it’s another, it never ends!

Question: Has anyone else experienced TMJ with PBC, and what home remedies have helped?

Since PBC is an autoimmune condition that can occur alongside other autoimmune disorders, it's important to discuss any jaw pain or TMJ symptoms with your healthcare provider to determine if they're related to your PBC or another underlying condition.

While the search results don't specifically address TMJ in PBC patients, many myPBCteam members have shared experiences with various types of joint and muscle discomfort. The best approach is to work with your healthcare team to develop a management plan that takes into account your complete health picture.
