Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I believe that I had an episode of Bell's Palsy several years ago, about 18-20 months after my TBI. I drooled from the right side of my mouth, nerves in my face on the right side were wierd, some times sharp and stabbing - some very severe. Trigeminal nerve was suspect but we never did anything about it with my doctor. Last summer (I believe), my clicking in the ears got to the point that I had to do something about it. PCP gave me Clonazepam, it is for Trigemenal Neuralgia and face pain. Helps some, but other times it does not. Wierd that the Atlas area may be related to TMJ . . . I did not know that. Back to the research on the Internet!!! I have definitely noticed in the last 2 weeks that my head leans to the left side more than usual. Did not think about it being jaw-related, but it certainly could be. At this point, I look up possibilities and start ruling them out.
