    Oh what a mess can come from this! I have tmj have flare up at times. Get tingly in the face at times too. Horrid weird headaches as well. I use a soft mouth splint. Im coming off a flare up now just had my mouth splint fixed by an oral surgeon and she made a new one as a back up.  It is weird to clench so hard during sleep. Such a strange thing my body developed as comfort. Its driven by stress. The tingling face thing started about a year ago and ten years later. Self inflicted torture and relaxants are said to make it worse during sleep because your body does it as a comforting thing. Very strange. I have tried hyonosis a few times too. I keep trying it. I use arnica gel and rub it on the muscles. Gets the jaw, the ears, face tingles, headaches..horrid headaches. Inpersonally have had enough of stress and what it does. I just want to happy and healthy already.

      No tinnitus is a sounds or a bunch of weird sounds you hear them inside. Its horrible. comes with clenching after a while. Inflammes the muscles and they push about inside agaist the eustatioan tubes. Sometimes i can hear and feel it..pulsitile.

      You definetly are getting migranes. Yiu have the headband thing which is tension and i think you get both. I get a lot of headaches myself. Sometimes i think its also weather related though. Lots of rain and cold then warm then cold and eveything blooming doesnt help at all.

    i have been known to grind my teeth during sleep.  Stress or dreams can also cause this.
