I'm pretty sure that this was caused by stress -- I've been under more stress than usual lately, and I tend to internalize it which of course isn't very healthy. I've been told by my dentist that I grind my teeth at night, so I think this TMJ issue is a result of some serious, tense grinding. I've also been having nightmares lately, which makes me think I must not be sleeping well. Now that I'm taking huge amounts of ibuprofen, I'm really drowsy, which isn't helping.... I'm looking forward to starting with the mouth guard to see if that helps at all.
You mentioned magnesium supplements when I posted about the B vitamins I've been taking that have helped my restless leg syndrome, and I asked you about them (here's the link): https://www.empowher.com/community/ask/why-do-some-vitamins-give-me-bad-breath Please let me know what you think.
