Hey LoLo,
Your defination of a senior citizen?  Length of time with Matia or age?
I'm 52 and have been with Matia for approx 18 months.  I've never had TMJ symptoms - as I've learned it doesn't mean that I won't wake up tomorrow with them.  MAN, some strange things have happened.  What I do know, is the frustration of thinking all of this isn't just going to go away.  HOWEVER, I am so much better than when I started.
Hang in there,

Hi Lolo, Although I am not a senior, I have had continuous TMJ issues. They come and go much like the rest of my physical "oddities" ;) I once asked Dr. B about TMJ and she shared with my that much of those muscles correspond to the large intestine meridians and will clear when the digestive system is clear. Hope you feel well soon,
Katie
P.S. Hi Denise! I sent you an email the other day, but I am not sure I have the right email... I may have sent it to some random person ...lol;)

I'm 63 and I have had TMJ for many years.  The best treatment I have found is physical therapy.  It does wonders.

The oral surgeon that checked my jaw joints recommended the physical therapists.  I had a lady and a guy.  The lady used ultrasound to relax the muscles and then worked on the jaw joints both inside and outside my mouth.  SHe kind of stretched the the joint - hard to explain.  The guy worked on trying to loosen up my upper torso muscles by gently messaging and stretching them.  He gave me exercises to do at home.  That was a couple of years ago, and I have kept up the exercises.  I still have trouble with it, but it stays pretty much the same.  The x-rays the surgeon took showed my joints were not rounded anymore on both sides.  I also wear a retainer at night to help keep me from grinding my teeth.  That helps a lot.  I hope this helps you.  The probiotics might be drying out the joints.  I think they do that.
