Members connected over the question of jaw and mouth trembling while falling asleep, with many sharing that they experience similar sensations along with body jerks, describing fibromyalgia as a strange and unpredictable condition. Several members offered practical suggestions including releasing jaw tension throughout the day, using hot compresses, massaging the jaw area, and checking in with a doctor, with one member noting a possible link to clonidine prescribed for restorative sleep. A recurring theme was the importance of looking up symptoms, consulting a doctor, and offering each other encouragement and comfort along the way.

There are several things that could contribute to it- TMJ is amongst them.

Try and do some check inโ€™s when you think about it, especially when stressed or having to push yourself. Which I know you are at work. See if there is tension in your jaw and keep releasing it, if and when you notice it. May shrug your shoulders up and down too.

If you have TMJ, I found a wonderful little tool, but a hot compress and massage work well too.

Wishing you both relief. ๐Ÿ’›
