I have TMJ also and have had it for years. I learned to live with it. I will say a prayer for God to alleviate this condition to make it bearable for you or to heal you altogether. I have said a prayer also for your other health problems and for Jesus to give you a special healing touch. Glad to have you as part of our family. Welcome to CC.

I have it as well. The condition is permanent I believe, but you can reduce it.
If yours is that consistently bad there's a chance your grit or grind your teeth in your sleep. And/or clench when stressed/anxious/angry. Doctors can diagnose these things. I believe mouthguards can help to minimize the teeth grinding if that's the issue.
Chewy and crunchy foods are out. Gum is another big problem.
Go see a doctor or perhaps dentist.
I have a series of medical issues as well, have for quite a while now. So I get the worry and frustration.

It has been brought on by very recent dentist appointments. Long story short, two fillings have ruined my bite. I never had a filling or cavity until this past year. I was really concerned to have it because I went through a nightmare with a TMJ specialist and a splint. I could keep my TMJ under control if I didn't eat things like apples or corn on the cob and took medicine after having a cleaning etc. A year ago, my TMJ was livable but now it is so bad I can't control it and can only sit up to be comfortable. Can't really sleep. I can go back to the dentist but the dentist says the filling is no longer touching and my bite is still off. I don't want to live like this and I can't afford to go back to the TMJ specialist. The splint did not work out. Before the filling, it wasn't really too painful. You are so right about stress and I was working to comfortable levels with biofeedback. Thank you so much for caring! I am going to pray for you too! Health issues are no fun.
