[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 230625, member: 1631"] Thanks everyone! My guess is it may be the TMJ. I have had the clicking in my jaws all my life but never any pain. However, I think lately I have also been clenching my teeth, sometimes at night I'll realize it and have to unclench them. About a year ago, when I was getting my teeth cleaned, the hygienist(sp?) asked if I was grinding my teeth at night. Don't know if I am, husband says he never hears anything. Last night after I fell asleep, I woke up around 11:00 and was able to eat about a quarter of my milkshake before it started to feel like the pain was coming back. Right now no pain at all which is good but I think I will call the dentist this morning from work. I'm hoping I am able to eat breakfast but we'll see. The weird thing I can talk and move my jaws around but not eat or yawn. One interesting thing, last night when I was googling TMJ, I found a list of symptoms. One of them was laryngitis. Wonder if this has anything to do with my chronic laryngitis? Marg-I have actually a very high salt diet-I salt everything-lots. For most people that's bad-for me with my Addison's disease it is o.k.-I need the salt. Again, thanks, you are all the best! I was very scared last night but feel less so this morning. I'll update tonight after I talk or see the dentist. [/QUOTE]
