Yes, Kelly, I have the grinding\clenching thing too. It is much worse when I'm stressed, like now. I was supposed to be fitted for a night guard but my insurance wouldn't pay for it . What else is new, huh? Sometimes my jaw is just screamin' when I wake up. At some point, I'm gonna have to get the guard. I was dx with tmj about 5? years ago. Maybe we should try the over the counter, self-fitting guard.
