This post includes some reference to crohns disease, so the persons that
object to this may wish to bypasss this post.    Thank You
Dr. DiBenedetto,
I cannot say for certain, but I doubt TMJ is associated with crohns disease.
At the same time, nothing can be excluded from crohns as it has multiple
symptoms, many not recognized, being a very weird and strange non
nmainstream illness about which very little is known.  (except for
treatment)   But in all discussions here, TMJ was not mentioned in the same
bracket as crohns disease.   Fibromyalgia is usually, (far as I know)
diagnosed as a separate illness than crohns.   My discussion of crohns
disease is not popular on this group, so I hesitate to go further.    But
desire overcomes me to tell you what I think crohns is caused by briefly.
It is caused by stimulants, anti-depressants being the most.   When one
person is on a stimulant, there is the uncanny ability unknown to all
parties, to send harm in the form of crohns from the user of the stimulant
to a person he knows by mind/body connection, literally.  I know it is hard
to believe that what one person ingests can harm another.  The harm
continues in spite of distance, the two or more persons can be miles and
miles apart, still the damage continues.  Only the mind and stimulant is at
work.   Physicians do not know this, and dentists do not.   To both,
everything is a natural progression of what must be of organic origin.    I
see differently and experience differently and I am certain of what I know.
There is a blog? under my screen name      KUREFORCROHNS         on aol
search.     Apparently, they do not think  (is it google)  it too strange to
print.    They perhaps use it to advertise products for crohns disease.
Since the discussion of crohns or any related comment about it is unwelcome
here, I will end my post.    That it does affect teeth and gums does not
alter the unwelcome aspect of acceptance.   Actually, how would the dentist
know what the reason is for sudden bleeding gums or other symptoms.
Sincerely
Gail Michael
