My theory on the jaw cracking and ear popping associated with the Clusters is this:
when we are having a real monster attack our natural reaction is to "clench" or tighten up our jaws...I always feel like I've gone three rounds in the ring with some boxer after a bad attack......it's because (hard as I try not to)
I tighten up all my muscles "fighting" this monster that is attacking me,,, when the attack is over all the muscles start to relax, hence the popping and cracking and so forth.......mine is everywhere,,,back, neck, jaw etc...I'm no Dr.
but this is how it was explained to me and I have to say it makes sense if you think about how much effort you put into fighting against the attack. Just thought I'd ad my two cents worth.
Painfree days to you
