Re: Tmj?
I agree with Jackie. You had brain surgery and doctor says your symptoms are due to TMJ? Is brain surgery like getting over a cold these days? I have/had TMJ. Dentist made me several mouth appliances, and I accidentally threw them away twice -- clear plastic. A dental technician told me to try the mouth protectors football players wear -- you get them in a sporting goods store. You can also get a mouth protector kit at the drug store. OR you can have the dentist make you one. Some dental insurance covers it. I get pain in the jaw and side of my face, headaches and stiff neck from TMJ.
