im feeling somewhat crappy today and yesterday. \I seem so tired and no energy. My jaw and sensations were felling great for about 1 week and then the flare up again. \it seems to me when i try something new it works for a while then right back to where I started. I tried a TENS machine the other night but not sure if im using it correctly. it sent my face into full twitch at a low setting and didntt seem to do anything. Do I need to use it more frequently? maybe thats what made my jaw flare up again? I was really hoping it would of helped. dissapointed I guess. A little down and spirits not high but I always bounce back just wish it would be for longer periods of time.

Hey Lady!
I have a tens unit as well...but I've never heard of using one on your face! OUCH!! Maybe you could try it again and instead of setting it to "twitch, you can set it to where it is a constant stream ~ just low and steady.
Did you get your unit from a doctor? Is he the one that suggested you use it on your face? That just seems so painful to me...
Do you have any medication that you are currently taking for your TMJ? I'll see what my mom takes and let you know... I hope you find a setting that works
for ya! AND SOON!! I know how much pain my mom goes through with her TMJ. Good luck to you, my friend!
