@tmjgirlboss: I’m in constant pain and raising funds for the corrective surgery that will finally let me breathe, eat, and live more comfortably. ✨ Anything helps — like, share, comment, follow, or donate. Every bit gets me closer to a life without constant pain. My GoFundMe is linked in my profile. Thank you for being here 💛 💛 In 2020, my jaw locked shut. Multiple specialists gave me mixed advice — some did procedures, some said it was all in my head, and the military didn’t know what was happening either. I was paying out-of-pocket, but the pain only got worse. In 2022, I finally found a TMJ specialist who discovered a tumor and recommended surgery to remove extra bone, bring my jaw forward, open my airway, and place prosthetics properly — but I couldn’t afford it. In 2023, the military removed the tumor and put in prosthetics… but didn’t fix the extra bone or bring my jaw forward. My airway is still narrow, my jaw is painful to move, and everyday tasks are a struggle. It wasn’t until 2025, when I returned to the specialist, that I was diagnosed with EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) — a connective tissue disorder that caused my joints, including my jaw, to be hypermobile and unstable. Now in 2026, I’m still in pain and raising funds for the corrective surgery that will finally let me breathe, eat, and live more comfortably. ✨ Anything helps — like, share, comment, follow, or donate.

After being diagnosed with 11 conditions the nurse called me and said they got my results on other conditions I was tested for. She gave me 3 more diagnosis. 😳🤣🤣 I was soooo over it. I was like I know everyone like a good BOGO deal but I don’t! Take them back 🤣 although she was very kind she couldn’t

I honestly cried because I knew i had to work even harder on pretending to be good so my family wouldn't worry about me.💔 there is no year that for my birthday, new years, Christmas that I only wish is to have good health and for everything to disappear 😔. I feel like my life was taken away and my body is slowly dying😮‍💨
