Yep, Tmj and stuttering. My jaw seizes up if I am tense or around tense people (my Dad!). My stutter is painful when the Tmj is acting up and my sleep disturbed with night chewing. I saw a specialist last year who prescribed self massage and a mouth guard which helps to relax the jaw. Thankfully I'm quite a chill person so it only acts up a few times a year.
