I have arthritis in my jaw and TMJ. I am wondering if it could be connected to Parkinsons in any way?

I had a lot of tardifdisconisa ( sp ) and it wrecked havoc on my tongue. Open ulcers to the point of having sections of my tongue removed. Yes it was the PD. A contributing factor was " dangerously low " B12 levels. Have your Dr check for that. Getting the levels up and adjusting PD meds hasn't completely eliminated the tardif....but I'm 1000 per cent better.

I have coped with conditions known as water behind the eardrum & blocked eustachion tunes. At one of our arts & crafts shows I tried to equalize pressure in my ears and nearly fainted it was a powerful pop! That was over 10 years ago. It could be sinuses this time of year. Really you are not hallucinating.

Now that is interesting. I have blocked eustachion tubes more often than not. Also called water behind the eardrum. I swim for exercise. My ENT showed me how to take a deep breath, clamp my nose breathe out and swallow at the same time and my ears pop pop pop solves the problem. Ask questions and sometimes there are answers.
