Metal Taste

Hello,

I've suffered from TMD for a few years, and have all the symptoms you describe- it started with tightness around the forehead, follwed by tinnitus, inflammation of the jaw and head etc- I often feel 'puffed up', like you have mentioned.

I also suffer from a pronounced metallic taste in my mouth when my TMD flares up (I actually found this forum by typing 'TMD and Metallic Taste' into Google, so that shows that I'm not just making it up).

i find it gets much worse when I've been drinking alcohol.

Regards,

Jeff Maughan

Hey There
First off welcome to the board---second---i have had that nasty metalic taste before too---no one seems to know what causes it.

So tell us what all your symptoms are and what you have done to treat it thus far. Also how did it start for you?
