Yep you're not along there! I also get this really bad at times and can only eat liquid foods like soups and smoothies. Sometimes even talking hurts :/ thanks @A MyFibroTeam Member for your comments, I'm gonna ask my physiotherapist this week about a massage that will help, or maybe even exercises or something :) I hope you get some relief soon @A MyFibroTeam Member

I do, and it is caused by TMJ. The large jaw muscle goes into spasm and I can feel with my fingers that is as hard as a rock sometimes. My physiotherapist taught me a massage I can do to help relieve the pain. My old GP gave me muscle relaxants to take at night when it acts up but I can't take them anymore.

I too can't eat or talk because it hurts so bad. Tingles and my mouth fills with salava a lot. Taste buds swell and hurt too. I have a mouth guard as well. Kinda was worried it was more serious than fybro.
