Just curious if anyone has a problems with clenching their jaw.
I can notice it big time when I wake up, so i think a good majority of it is done during my sleep, but I sure feel it the next day. I do feel tense most days, but I have just started a medication nortriptyline so hopefully this helps with the tenseness.

I notice it's alot worse the night that I take my Avonex shot.

Thanks!

Here is a link to a thread a former member made on this:

I know you said "jaw" clenching but I think this pertains to that, too. Hope it helps!

Thank you! I will check it now!

It kind of sounds like that, but i feel absolutely nothing in my teeth at all. No pressure or anything.
I'm thinking it might be my trigeminal nerve. It's right in between my ear and my eye on both sides. Feels almost like a pressure but a very aching pain, much more intense on the right side. Hurts there more when I chew etc.

I did have facial and forehead numbness upon my first attacks, which my neuro said was my trigeminal nerve, tho rare said it does happen. Think it's time to call them and sort this out because this is brutal pain that comes and goes from day to day.

i was thinking of that exact thread. the damage of clenching teeth might creep up on you. i'd check with your dentist to nip this in the bud.

My dentist had given me a mouth guard for clenching however given ii have enough trouble sleeping as it is the mouth guard is something else that keeps me awake. Given I have broken numerous teeth lately it may be good to get back to it. My problem is I clench during the day as well and it is not a good look to wear the mouth guard to work.
