WHAT’S EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME?
The Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a group of more than 13 genetic connective tissue disorders that affect the joints and ligaments, blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, and autonomic nervous system, among others. The most common type of EDS is hypermobile EDS (hEDS), which used to be known at type III. Some of the most common symptoms and co-morbidities of hEDS include chronic joint pain, joint instability and dislocations, dysautonomia, and GI tract dysmotility.

I got diagnosed with tmj last week, this could not have come at a better time.
Hahahaha perfect timing!
Hi! EDS opera singer here, meaning I spend a lot of time thinking about the small muscles of the throat and mouth for a living. Thank you for this! I don't have TMJ dysfunction, but I grind my teeth like heck and do have to manage jaw tension while singing, so looking at some jaw tiktoks through a hypermobility lens is really useful! Lots of food for thought for me in this video - thank you!
Yessss singing is so hard on my jaw!! I went to LaGuardia for high school as a classical voice major so it was hard on my jaw back then. These helped a lot
@@IzzyKDNA Oh really?! I had no idea! I started my own channel recently to address disability and opera, but more specifically hypermobility in classical singers, because I don't know why but hypermobile singers are EVERYWHERE
That's such a cool channel idea!! Yeah there are so many people with hypermobility (something like 10-20% of the population is hypermobile), and given how important body positioning and posture are when singing, hypermobility can totally mess with that alignment, so im sure your channel will be super helpful to a lot of singers
Thank you!
I like how you encourage a full spectrum of managing pain. I'd like to
see a video on how chronic pain affects mental health. Seems like a full
spectrum approach vs complete pharmacologic reliance is the best
method. I have some chronic issues and have learned a lot from your
channel.
Braces cured my TMJ and migraines. Metal teeth braces, with rubber bands and I think some teeth removed, in the 1980s. What I call migraines are all-encompassing headaches, where no sound, light, smell, or movement is bearable and you beg in your mind for rescue or death. My TMJ pain & popping were there with every jaw movement. I haven't studied whether braces worked for others, since I have other current major health issues to study. I believe I have EDS and cervical instability. Best wishes to you all.
Love these videos. My jaw has been acting up a lot lately, constant internal conflict of do I go waste $ at the doc or not. Really appreciate seeing content that represents us accurately.
I just watched your vid the other side of chronic illness. Totally agree on all your points. I'd like to see stuff on how to ease tensions in relationships/how EDS affects relationships.
I have been having to hide my EDS symptoms from my in laws because they said they don't approve of me because of my eds plus heaps more hurtful comments. Its a tough gig.
Having these vids helps to keep us stronger together as a pack for sure. Mental health ++
I can't eat anything that requires chewing without something to drink anymore. I drink probably 2 glasses of water with most meals. It gets so tired and painful that when I don't have water I usually just don't eat. I've got an appointment with a new doctor so I'll bring it up then but I've had several dentists tell me that there's nothing wrong with my jaw
it's so good that you're seeing your doctor about it. i mean having pain in and of itself is a problem...your dentists shouldnt have dismiss your symptoms like that. i hope this doc can be helpful!
Girl, I have a lot of problems. Also with this one! If I don't have EDS I don't know.
I’ve never seen these exercrises, Izzy, so thank you! xxxxxx
My jaw used to completely lock. I was told to keep the bottom jaw back and if I yawned I have to put my hand under my chin and stop my mouth from opening. I rarely have problems with it now.
My dentist actually recommended the first method. But with the straw/ pen between the front teeth. It’s supposed to relax the muscle and help with cramped muscles.
Tbh I immediately went to a TMJ specialist in middleschool because I was in a classical children’s choir, and opening my mouth to sing was super painful, and not being able to sing made me sad. I did a combination of some light laser treatment and an application on my teeth. Idk the science behind it but it helped. The cartilage in my jaw was super worn down, so I think it was supposed to function as a support for my jaw or something.
Also, a lot of retainers. So many. Still have one I still use, and the pain is noticeably much better, although it does hurt in cold weather, or when I super overuse it. When that happens I usually apply pressure under my jawline right where it curves, take Tylenol, or use a cold/heating pack.
Btw we saw an ENT first. He said “it’s TMJ, go to the sports store and buy a retainer to shape to your teeth.”
First night with the retainer I woke up at 3am in the worst pain I ever felt.
Sometimes the jaw pain is due to neck tension so I just crack my neck and it helps occasionally. And overextending my jaw does still cause a little bit of popping and cracking, and will probably be sore afterwards, but I can sing the way I want to now, and finding a good resonate spot in your mouth can be helpful as well.
It’s been a hot minute since middle school though, and I’m glad I’m not taking Tylenol every 4 hours every day anymore, so I don’t think about it too much.
My jaw has been bugging me since December and in the last month while eating it suddenly goes sideways! It's so weird! So I googled it yesterday and found out there's such a thing as a hypermobile jaw! That was a big surprise to me! So this video is very timely. 😁
this is so timely! I had a total tmj replacement 5 years ago and now there's been some 'abnormal bone growth' on the prosthetic which is limiting mobility and causing pain and Im having surgery in two weeks to get it removed!
ugh im sorry you've been dealing with that bone growth - i hope the surgery helps
The thing I've found that helps my tmj the most is actually something not meant for it! My PMD Rose Quartz face cleaner has a stone on the back that heats up. Personally I turn it on then use the stone to massage my jaw muscles and its heavenly. Even better it cleans your skin really good, but thats just an added benefit.
yes! totally, i feel like any kind of massage could help and im sure it helps SO much since it gets hot. i want to try that now!
If you do have tmj dysfunction (or whatever anyone calls it) you’d do yourself a favor to go to a dr who deals only with that.
Mine got so bad that I couldn’t hold my head up while riding in the car. So much of my neck pain was from my jaw!
Anyway, I wore an appliance in my mouth for over a year and had a small surgical procedure once during that time.
You wouldn’t believe how quickly the appliance helped my neck pain! It wouldn’t hurt to get it checked out by a specialist for TMJ.
Hi there, I have TMJ from parkinsons disease (so much fun lol) and I saw this video shared and wanted to correct a few things here because you deserve relief that wont hurt you! Honestly, a lot of these tiktokers are quacks. Sorry chiros, your field is based in pseudoscience and hurts people. The TMJ is the most complex joint in our bodies and I am so worried about how many people are doing things like cracking their jaws on tiktok, it is just scary because you can at best just get insufficient relief and at worse hurt yourself and cause permanent damage.
I have my TMJ treated by both botox injections into the masseter (10/10 recommend them for anyone who has tightness, mine comes from dystonia and dyskinesia, botox has been infintely helpful), and by a dentist who trained specifically in jaw dysfunction through Dr. Peter Dawson's institue, he is a leading jaw dentist and I cannoy recommend looking into his methods enough. It will give you a thousand times the relief any of this bs shared on tiktok will. You have to release the pterygoids. I do this weekly at least, it is the only thing that helps longterm. My dentist reshaped my teeth to act like a mouth guard essentially, they support my bite better which prevents the pterygoid from really clenching up, it isnt perfect but it is better than before. My jaw opened less than 10cm and slid to the side first. My ligament is shot, it no longer has any elasticity, so I have to essentially correct the damage it does by treating the muscles that overcompensate. After the treatment which i will say really hurts but works, having your pterygoid essentially massaged out until it relaxes out.
I hope you can get some relief, and to anyone reading this, please please look up the dawson method before listening to a chiropractor. Dentists who train in tmj are far more qualified to not destroy your already sore joints!
Omg crying is such a trigger for me! So painful
My temporomandibular disc popped out of its place two times in two years in a row😪
omg ouch
I think mine is permanently popped out. My chiro can’t fix it :/ I open my mouth and you can see it pop out on the side. I’m not sure what else to do, it doesn’t hurt when that happens but it’s uncomfortable.
A tmj Dr stretched my jaw on purpose and it went beyond it's capacity in 2013 becuz of lack of range of motion, it dislocated, locked, lost my ability to taste smell, swallow well and chew teeth sitting on top of each other neck pulled out of place and rotated, cranial bones and facial bones out of place or locked brain stem compression fight or flight inside of palate collapsing teeth being jammed and collapsing inward no sleep since, every tmj Dr or chiro made me worse, dizzy, pain, can't take meds, finding out yrs later I should have had surgery but I'm too sick now, I'm literally fighting for my life due to this, I got eds dx in 2017 and then pots and mcas In 2018, if you can still eat food and go to the bathroom eat take meds take a walk get out of bed you're blessed 😭
My jaw hurt way worse after doing these. Pushing my chin back was the worst. My jaw feels in the wrong place now. Lol. It'll go back soon.
Hey Izzy! I was reading about cervical instability and how it frequently happens with people affected with EDS causing so many problems like POTS and Mast Cell Activation. I also read that Cervical instability can be treated by neck proliferation and patients after the treatment are seeing reverse in POTS and other problems. Can you do a video about this? I always believed that EDS may develop POTS for drastically different reasons than other people and what I read about cervical instability was interesting.
hi! I have eds and this is so interesting. can you forward the link please?
I always heard that the cause of POTS for EDS patients was that their blood vessels are over elastic. Scientifically this doesn't make sense bcz if this is true then our autonomous nervous system is fine, and shouldn't experience any other symptom except hear rate increase. The Cervical Instability problem makes more sense and it's mostly treatable. Check it out as many EDS patients are experiencing reverse in POTS and relates issues.
@@marcostark9826 I get that but what is neck proliferation?
@@gabypuentes3750 A treatment by injecting certain solution to the neck to help gain its stability back.
I would like to know more about this too! I have EDS and high back problems, and I feel it causes dysautonomia too..
I have EDS and TMJ issues cause of it. My jaw will slip a bit out of joint if i open my mouth all the way. Sometimes my jaw pain turnd into full blown headaches. It sucks.
This is crazy but I had a headache at the start of the video and about halfway through after rubbing the sides of my jaw ( I also have to hold the opposite side or I get subluxation) my headache is better!!
No way!!!! I’m so happy these helped. Most of my headaches are related to my jaw and neck pain so these help my headaches so much too
I never made the connection! I’m also going to give bloomfarms CBD a try. Your videos have really helped my EDS symptoms. Thanks you! 😀
Oh wow, never knew about the scalenes- it does feel weird!!!! And my jaw totally clicks and pops when I try to open wider than a certain amount.
Right?! Scalenes feel so strange when touching them hahahhaah
TMJD is a killer honestly, Im counting down the days till my hospital appointment for it, I know that my TMJD is caused by HSD but it causes me so many issues that I almost consider it a completely different disability (because by itself it is totally disabling, for me anyway).
It's such a painful and disruptive condition 😢
May I ask how you're doing now?
I was diagnosed with TMD 15 years ago and all my doctors and dentists refuse to touch the issue. I've been suffering with it for 20 years. And I'm still trying to get my EDS and POTS diagnoses.
Same!! All they say is to live with it, it’s sooo offensive
if it doesnt hurt u just gotta get used to it
I've had severe TMJ pain for as long as I can remember - over 30 years. It is definitely the worst pain spot in my body because it never subsides. It feels like my jaw is in a vice 24/7 and goes from bad to worse (singing, chewing, laughing, during migraines...). When the guy came on pushing on one side, I immediately thought "Nope!" Then you said you can't do that one side at a time either. I've tried a lot of these, but never get ANY relief at all. I guess I have an extreme case. I still want to push on the muscles though because it's semi soothing.
Ugh this reminds me that I need to find a joint specialist. My jaw is so clicky and tight.
same
The right side of my face has been hurting for the last couple days and I thought it was mouth related... Doing some of these things helped so much, and at one point made my jaw pop in a way that was instant relief. So I guess it was my jaw...
I can relate to literally every word you said it insane
I used cbd from Bloom as well as other suppliers. I’ve yet to feel anything. Marijuana is legal here, so I tried a tincture of it. The first time it made me paranoid. Subsequent attempts to treat my pain failed. I’m wondering if I’m genetically destined to not be able to process cbd and MJ. I’d really like to know what genetic studies can help me find a worthwhile substance. I also have to have repeated numbing shots in order to have local surgeries but the shots are too weak or I don’t metabolize them properly-they wear off long before the surgery finishes. Please have mercy on those of us who have trouble finding pain relief because of our genes.
marijuana makes me really paranoid too, which is why I like just the CBD. I'm sorry it doesn't work for you
Good tips!!!
Can you make research on symptoms of EDS for laryngeal, ear and nose pain or swelling/dislocation? I currently am investigated for ehlers-danlos or relapsing polychondritis and I have symptoms that could possibly be in both of thoses diseases. However ENT symptoms are not largely known about EDS so whenever you could speak about that with maybe shared experiences of few people, it would be awesome! 👏 Thank you 🙂
yep i have a dislocated disc which was caused by minor traumas like clenching or grinding over a long period of time. (plus hypermobility probably didn't help!)
I have bruxism which is quite similar to TMJ. I was wondering if you ever consulted an ENT doctor by any chance? I'm asking this because the nose and tongue can be the reason why someone has TMJ or bruxism (deviated septum, narrow airway, tongue tie, etc.). Thanks :)
I couldn't even do the exercises because it hurts pretty badly and feels very unstable, the only one I did was the 7:00 one and couldn't do it many times (to make sure it was wrong). Maybe I should go see the doctor for it, but honestly in my daily life I've found some ways to manage it and I'll just wait for the worst of the pandemic go away to have it looked (in Brazil it's impossible to go out, it's so dangerous, there are entire states with ZERO ICUs available)
i have the dislocated disc type and omg it sucks😭i tried to see jaw specialist pt's and they couldn't do anything, braces didn't work and my surgeon tried to flush the left side to try to move the disc but it didn't work. now we're planning to flush both sides under general. if it doesn't work i'm fuuuuuucked
yeoo y do we both have pots and tmj? Maybe just a coincidence
How did you remedy your vocal chord dysfunction?? It’s killer
MTD is so difficult. i stopped talking in the mornings, never yelled or spoke loudly, massaged my neck, and did both voice therapy and voice lessons with people who know how to work with this kind of dysfunction. it sucks so much, im sorry youre dealing with this
ps i made a video about my MTD in 2020!
Speech therapy and Botox injections in the vocal chords are what helped me. Also using a voice amplifier when it gets bad so I don’t have to strain and make my chords spasm even more
Kay I swear You literally have all of the same problems as me. Every time I figure something out, one of your videos pop up on it lol.
Have you tried the topicals from bloomfarms as well? just wondering!
Yes! I really liked the cbd topical. i haven't been using it recently because im not putting anything on my skin at the moment due to issues, but when i was using it i really liked it!
My reynauds causes my ears to hurt if they get cold. If it’s below 60 I need my ears covered. It will radiate into my jaw and teeth. But it’s from reynauds.
Thank you 💖💖💖
I have TMD in both jaws too
@Izzy Kornblau Have you ever been assessed for tongue tie? I thought I may have spied a tie. Having mine addressed made a surprisingly huge difference for me in jaw & neck pain (fellow zebra).
Can we get links to the videos you're reacting to, please?
Very important!
Did anyone else rewatch this cuz they were having a bad TMJ day? I can't even bite down all the way without extreme pain.
I’m sorry it’s a bad tmj day for you. 🧡🧡🧡
My tmj isnt too bad but it's hard to get dental work done
Hello Izzy can I ask you, once you wrote that Duloxetine help you so much with nervous pain in joints and muscles. Did physicians prescribe to you any Antidepressant to cope with pain in stomach of your Gastroparethis? Thank you! Mikhail
Duloxetine is an anti depressant.
hi! this isn't super relevant, but has anyone with eds/hsd had issues with loose (permanent) teeth? as far as my dentist and orthodontist can figure, it's not bc of trauma/infection, and there's nothing technically wrong with them aside from the fact that they wiggle (i don't have a professional eds diagnosis but i'm hypermobile and i wouldn't be too surprised if i have it)
edit: it might've been caused by my retainer not fitting properly, but we're not 100% sure
Eating cheez its right now and the jaw is hurting bad. I try to chew something hard(er) each day.
Have you ever been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia
Have you heard about mewing? I wonder if that could help you, I know it's a bit controversial but it makes sense... U should check it out
I get botox for the TMJ pain
I have TMJ too.
can you make a video about Billie Eilish having potential EDS i cant find any links
there's a lot of people with hypermobility and it's not right to suspect someone has a genetic disorder just because they are hypermobile and have injuries. Of course, it's totally possible she has EDS just like with anyone else, but it's not right to make a video suspecting she has a disease that she hasn't said she has
@@IzzyKDNA ahhh i thought she said she did someone told me she said it on an interview. but i agree 100%
More pain for me as well. 🙃
Ur so beautiful
