@Tretred This forum is what led me to try acupuncture! It is a great resource. In addition to my jaw issues, my trapezius muscle on my left side and my neck on the left side have always felt sore, and I learned in this forum that can play into ear issues as well. So my chiro and...

Hi @Tretred I am so happy you are having positive changes!! Sorry I haven't been on the site for a while, was looking to see if there were any updates today, and I was happy to see your posts. Yes I agree there is something to Chiro for sure. I go to my Chiro about every six weeks and I...

@Lane Thanks Lane! So happy acupuncture is making some positive change for you!! You are reading my mind, I've been saying one thing I haven't tried yet is acupuncture to help calm the muscles on the left side of my face and neck. I definitely want to give a try. I am totally with you about...

@Lane Thank you so much for your reply! I apologize for just getting back to you now. I've been so busy with work lately. Thank you for the suggestions. I've been making it a point to stand up stretch real quick and walk around the office at various points in the day. I have been taking...

@Tretred Glad you are having better days. Yes I hope we get some permanent relief. I've been working longer days in the office and I am finding sitting at the desk longer even with my back support causes my jaw, head, and neck to act up. It's always my left side, it goes from my jaw to my...

@Tretred I am sorry that things have been rough. Anxiety is awful, and combined with T just makes it worse. I am glad the new meds are helping with the anxiety. Has the T gone up in volume? I remember after taking Mirtazapine right before bed, I would be watching TV and the mirt would raise...

@Tretred Hey, just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? Hopefully having some better days.

@Tretred Yes definitely keep me posted! Don't hesitate to reach out to family or friends if you need help with your little guy. Early on i was trying to hide it from family and friends. One day i couldn't take it anymore and just broke down in tears to my family. It really helped make a...

@Tretred That's a shame the neurologist just blew you off like that. I used those smile direct club aligners, there really isn't much monitoring going on when you use those except for photos you send to have them check up on your progress like once or twice. Dumb decision on my part to use...

@Tretred Hopefully the nightguard will help make a difference. After I got my nightguard, I had followup visits with my dentist to make sure I was still making proper contact with my nightguard. Around mid December, I noticed I was having a bit of a spike with my T. I just so happened to...

@Tretred I was on mirtazapine only for a month, but I was put on it after I got my T because I was desperate for sleep. It did cause spikes in my T, which is why I didn't stay on it for long. My T is related to my jaw as well, due to dental aligners I used that changed my bite, which threw...

@Mathew Gould I am taking 1,000 mg of Omega 3s, and I think it's played a part in bringing my T volume down . My T is now mostly mild to medium. There have been a lot more mild days, with the occasional day where I barely even notice it unless I really listen for it. I would love for the...

@Mathew Gould i mentioned before that the closest Nucca is about an hour away, although i do have an Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor near by that uses some kind of Atlas machine that does laser adjustments to upper cervical area. No manual adjustments, which is what i am currently getting. I...

@Mathew Gould No my T does not appear to be reactive. I actually do better when the tv is on, my kids are talking, dryer is going etc. It helps mask it. It's quiet rooms for me where i can tune in easily. So i like a little bit of noise. Do you experience ear fullness at times too or just...

@Mathew Gould That's great news about your T! I have T from TMJ/TMD started in August. My dentist made me a stablization splint, which i have been wearing for a month. I also have been getting adjustments from a chiropractor (not a Nucca). I have been doing well. T has come down in volume...
