»I have Temporomandibular joint dysfunction... or TMJ.
I have a bit of one myself, but mine's not too bad. It doesn't interfere with gum most of the time. If I eat a lot of food that requires widely opening my jaw (chicken wings, nice big sandwiches, etc.) it starts to hurt and get kinda fatigued.
Mine is only kind of bad on one side and it's just slightly there on the other.
I have a good chance of dislocating my jaw if I open really wide, chew gum, or anything really chewy. Like beef jerky, or a tough steak.
