I don't have experience with this, however I know of friends who have had TMJ without head trauma. They have experienced similar sypmtoms and issues due to their TMJ. I know you are worried about what trauma having it fixed may have on your brain, but in the long run, you may see a huge positive change in symptoms, because your not adding pressure to that area of your head.
Wish you the best! When is the appt?
