I've been noticing over the last few days that I'm biting my teeth together, I don't know I'm doing it until my teeth and jaw start hurting, then I have to consciously relax my mouth!!!??
Just wondered if anyone else experiences this or if it's just me?

This also happens to me, like @A MyFibroTeam Member I also grind my teeth. I have to sleep with a mouth guard too as I bite my tongue, lips and inside of my cheeks in my sleep. I am fed up of throwing pillow cases away when I can't get the blood stains out of them. I have started to buy cheap plain white ones from Primark as I don't mind throwing these out so much.
Yesterday I changed my pillowcase when I got up as I had bit my tongue and it had bled. Then lo and behold I wake this morning and my mouth guard is on the floor and this pillowcase is stained more than yesterday's.
So @A MyFibroTeam Member you are not alone in this weirdness, There are loads of other weirdo's on here and we are all with you.
Have a great weekend.
Love and soft hugs

@A MyFibroTeam Member ..I bought a mouth guard that arrived today, have tried it out but couldn't wear it out and about or at work etc & it's throughout the day I realise I'm doing it! I'll mention it to the doc at my next review appointment xx
They do sell mouth guards in stores. Some work and some don't I found this out years after I spent $1500.00 on one specially made for me by an oral surgeon.
I do this too. I was told by a dentist years ago that I grind my teeth. I figured it must be at night because I never caught myself doing it during the day, Now I do it during the day also. I am going to look for a mouth guard. It's very annoying and I'm tired of my teeth and jaw hurting. Best wishes
Thanks everyone.. I do find comfort in the fact that I am not alone in this. Lotsa love & prayers for all.xx
