Who new New Year’s Eve could be such a boon for weird and wonderful medical conditions?
Straight off the back of Lindsay Lohan contracting a virus from a mosquito bite in French Polynesia comes Iggy Azealea’s announcement that she has a jaw disorder known as TMJ/TMD, or temporomandibular disorder for those of you hanging out with medical textbooks this summer. Basically, it’s grinding your jaw to a pulp due to arthritis in the joint or stress. We’re going to take a punt on the second option.
Also last month I was diagnosed with TMJ which isn’t the best.

I’m gonna make more of an effort to take care of myself in 2015, stay away from all the drama & hopefully not have any flair ups.

I don’t think western medicine all the way acknowledges what a huge toll mental stress takes on our bodies. But I do believe it is a factor.

If anyone’s going to have a bad case of the grinding jaw due, it’s got to be Iggy Ig. This past month alone, she’s been the victim of radio takedowns, Anonymous threats and all kinds of heavy situations.
Meanwhile, her new record comes out in 2015, so the circus will inevitably start all over again
