TMJ/Menstruation Link?

Am I the only one experiencing this? My tmj pain seems to return at the onset of my menstrual periods.
Here's my history. I was diagnosed with tmj 15 yrs ago. It went into remission for years. Then I had a crown put on a molar and had to chew on the opposite side than what i'm used to for 10 days. I that feel this aggravated the tmj. The wierd thing is that the pain goes away completely about 10 days into my cycle, only to return exactly the day before my menstrual bleeding begins. It's done this for 3 consecutive months now.

Does else anyone have this experience? Is there any documented link between tmj and menstruation?

Thanks in advance for any replies! Tweet
