Me too :-)
I got TMJ symptoms after reading an article about TMJ (I already had sciatica and neck pain). This was actually quite early in the course of my problem, and certainly before I'd heard of Sarno. It was suspicious enough to me (i.e., getting TMJ right after reading the article) that I Googled "psychosomatic pain." I didn't find anything I thought applied to my situation, though ... and it was many months later that I discovered Sarno. |

Hi cjbdrm,
You are likely clenching your teeth without knowing it. You can be doing this when you are awake, asleep or both. You can actively work on not doing this when you are awake, I havent figured out how to stop doing this at night. (But theorically if you resolve your hidden rage maybe that will stop the bruxating at night :-)
My low back and sciatica pain have been gone for over a year now, but I still have TMJ tightness (and popping) to resolve, and tinnitus occasionally.
Take care, -Stryder

Occassionally I'll get jaw pain like this, but I've never conciously bought into it so it never lasts long. I'll wake up in the morning, go to brush my teeth and it will feel like someone punched me in the jaw while sleeping. For me it's an example of TMS being dumb. There's no physical reason why I'd have jaw pain, so I ignore it and it goes away.
I have a friend who IS the poster child for TMS, even more than I am, which is saying something. He has a never-ending, rotating set of symptoms that generally go: back pain, sciatica, hip pain, stomach problems, neck pain, repeat. Recently he came down with "TMJ." Of course, the doctors found nothing and it went away, only to be replaced by something else from his impressive collection of symptoms.

Have a nice weekend.
