What's the name for...

[Vieste]

Think it's more to do with the brain and going into spakka mode that set's it off.

Meh.

It's this, TMJ disorder.

Does your jaw click when you eat or do you unconsciously grind your teeth?

Sounds like it's all in your head!

It's momentary - maybe lasts a second or something.

I've never been able to find out what it is.

Too much gagging on schlong.


Actually, no, I get this, do you feel the taste of say, an orange, the bitter taste, just before puting it in your mouth? I think it's just sub-conciousness, that you're expecting the bittery taste.

It means there might be something a bit wonky with the joint that attaches your lower jaw to your skull.

Pretty sure I get this sometimes when I look at those sour Haribos and only if I'm about to eat one. It's like my mouth knows it's in for a shock and goes into spasm for a second.

Never really thought twice about it.

That sounds like it. Can't say I'm bothered about it, just wondering if it had a name.

FFS.

[MacGee]

Gordon Brown Syndrome!

[Alfanatic]

I get that too with sour things sometimes, like the muscles moving my lower jaw temporarily contract and hold my jaw in place. Not particularly painful and goes away quickly. The TMD description didn't really strike a chord with me though.

Salt and vinegar crisps in particular set mine off, but I get it with quite a few different things, I would say I normally get it after not eating for a while?
