Hi JoJo and thank you for the welcome.

I'm not sure of the specialist you'd be seeing for TMJ (I haven't gotten that far with my daughter yet). I see a neurologist for my TN. Basically, I see him strictly for pain management. He did offer a procedure that may or may not help (apparently it's a 50/50 thing) which I declined. The risks were WAY too high...anything from it affecting my sight, brain, with the worst case scenerio being my ending up on a ventilator for a period of time. I explained that I manage too well pain-wise to consider those risks at this point.

Many thoughts to you, hubby and mother-in-law.

I've known DocJohn for several years now as a forum member and can say, "What you're seeing is what you get." He's consistent and caring. He's the real deal.

Thanks again for such a warm welcome.
