I don't think it is TMJ. I don't do any of those tings. I remember when I first had this many years ago I didn't know whether to go to a dentist, odotonics, eye ear and nose and troat doctor, family doctor or psychiatrist. I decided to start with my own doctor because of how compassionate he always has shown. When he listened to my symptoms he immediately ordered Tegretol and it worked. My neuro said that it was more than likely my first symptom of MS. It's jsut that it was the only one I had at the time.
