TMJ (temporomandibular) disorder and teeth grinding
-
I had no idea about TTFD. Thanks for the tip to use the HCL version. Maybe that's why I did not notice any benefit from TTFD.

@cookielemons That is very interesting. Same for me (jaw doesn't seem to close smoothly and evenly).
Given that TMJ is largely mechanical, what do you think is the mechanism behind thiamine reducing clicking and popping? Does the thiamine dose help restore something to equilibrium and/or calm your jaw from overactivity/clenching/grinding?
Also, very interesting on caffeine and high histamine foods impacting your TMJ. I am a couple weeks into no-caffeine myself. I do eat several foods from a "high histamine foods" list found via Web search.
I hope you continue seeing benefits from thiamine!
