I have muscular dystrophy. I have only been able to open my mouth millimeters for 20 years. I am tired of not being able to get food in my mouth. I've consulted many docs about botox to relax the muscle. They've been hesitant. I go back to new neuro in may & I am ready to say if they don't do it I will find someone who will. Do you have reservations with my request? I am worried about my oral health, dentists have said I am doing good. But they can't get bite x-rays, so they really don't know.
