I have several quirky things happening that I thought I would share. I've mentioned this first one before, but I thought I'd mention it again because it drives me bonkers! My ear itches deep inside. I want to stick something deep inside my ear and attempt to scratch it. I try to scratch my ear with my pinky or with a q-tip but it doesn't work. It doesn't stop the itching.

Have you mentioned any of these quarks to your surgeon and what did he say, if anything?

Yes I have. The eye twitching and ear itching is caused by the nerves. Since the ear canal is right next to the TM joint, the sensation can happen. As for the swallowing, he really didn't have a response or was able to say what was causing these things. However, the trigeminal nerve which controls chewing may be the cause. Another cause may be that my tongue is relaxing too far back in my throat when I sleep.
