I've just noticed this within the past year or so....but I guess the stress of losing my job, waiting for LTD (and SSDI eventually) and other things that have happened within the past 6 months are just catching up with me. 
Thanks for your suggestions - I appreciate all the responses very much.  |
Hey Kitty!
I know my teeth grinding is from stress. At the time my dentist told me I was grinding my teeth down I wasn't on any meds and hadn't even been dx'd with the MS yet.
You have been and are currently going thru a lot.
The special plates the dentist make are expensive. My dentist did tell me that I could buy a mouth guard at a sporting store. I did, it was like $10. It's probably bigger than what the fitted plates the dentist make would be, but it's also a lot cheaper. So you might want to buy one and try wearing it for a couple weeks and see if that helps.
And I pray that your SSDI and other issues will be quickly worked out in your favor and life will settle down for you
