I am in the middle of a "short term" flare, brought on by nasty weather changes - not much one can do about this kind... felt fairly ok on Monday, so-so yesterday, and just hurt miserable today..
weather front moved in yesterday morning and dumped rain, freezing rain, and snow on us, then last night it got quite breezy and has been cold and breezy all day today.
and TMJ - have had that my whole life, not severe enough to really do anything about it tho... never had numbness or other weird symptoms related to it. I do get popping when moving the jaw, and occasionally it will "lock up" and then hurt once it finally releases, but that is about it.
I expect someday it is going to become a problem, but for now it isnt, just one of those weird things one learns to live with.
