Rudy, a simple trial on magnesium chloride or magnesium citrate for about a week(loading) will tell if its a problem related to an inability to relax muscles. I would use a compounded, pure solution made up by a local pharmacist. Most will make it without perservatives. Dr. Sherry Rogers talks at great lengths in many of her books about the importance of magnesium and what the lack of it causes. TMJ is just one of a raft of possibilities. Keep in mind there are other causes too but magnesium is a good thing to try and its simple and inexpensive.

There are those who have been ecstatic about using Apple Cider Vinegar, a fermentation by-product. It is because it is rich in Magnesium which, like Candida, binds the "relaxer" mineral that keeps Calcium in solution. One of the most deleterious effects of Candida overgrowth in the gut from Antibiotic use is Candida's snitching of Magnesium.

Magnesium deficiency can lead to a vicious cycle of Strep infection, which thrives on a low Magnesium environment. Treat Candida with Undecyclenic Acid (available on the web and in some o.t.c. products) or with easy-to-find Caprylic Acid/mixed Caprylates in a mineral base.

I have had TMJ disorder for 17 yrs with mostly mild flare ups. Due to some recent extensive dental procedures I've had regular and severe flare-ups. Looked all over the web for help. Was living on Advil, soft foods and my heating pad was my best friend. Yesterday I tried magnesium for the first time. Took 300mg of chelated magnesium and within an hour my spastic jaw muscles were relaxed. I've been taking it for just over 24 hours now and have been pain free. Even the muscles of my neck and shoulders are no longer tense and painful. I can't say it will work the same for everyone since the causes of TMJD are many. I do think it is worth a try since it is inexpensive and, when taken in recommended doses, cannot harm your body.
