I am 43 years old and recently diagnosed with TMJ. I have been suffering for 2 months now...my symptoms looked more like an ear infection, so I was treated for that for awhile and now recently between a dentist, an ENT and my Dr. they figured out it was TMJ.

Here's the issue--along with neck, shoulder and chest ache...I have been having nausea (more like quesiness) and gastrointestinal stuff on an off....it could be because I have tried taking advil regularly..but I thought that was bothering my stomach. I tried Aleve and it was the same reaction. I was doing some vitamin therapy, but I stopped that too...does anyone else out there have stomach issues with TMJ? Or is something else going on?

I am waiting for my mouthguard (the dentist took mold last week) and I start physical therapy next week....I have been using heat and ice and that seems to help a bit, but the stomach thing has been plaguing me for about 6 weeks. HELP!
