Re: a little off the subject...

[Guest guest]

I used a mouth guard at night for my TMJ. I would grind my teeth, especially at

night. You can get them at sporting goods retailers. Football players use

them. I also made a conscious effort to keep my jaw relaxed. Strangely enough

chewing gum helped also. I lost the guard after about 18 months. But by then I

was symptom free and have had no more problems since. That was over 10 years

ago.

TMJ is usually caused by something. Probably stress in your life. You should

make time to relax. As much for yourself as for your family.

Good luck,

a little off the subject...

I have a question for anyone who may be able to help. I have TMJ

which is causing me a lot of jaw pain the past few weeks, due to

stress and my doctor precribed me Darvocet for the pain. I'm

nursing my 7 month old and am uneasy about taking the med. I asked

the nurse on call and she said it was ok as did the pharmasist.

But, you know how they all are. I'm seeking more opinions. Also,

does anyone know of a more natural pain reliever?

Thank you,

I don't think I would take darvocet while nursing but that's just

me.They sell those mouth guards at Wal-Mart also. When I feel it (TMJ)

coming on I keep my tongue between my teeth. It really works for me.I

bet a good Homeopath could help.

I am in another group called Bfg-HerbsDiscussion (it's about

homeopathic remedies while breastfeeding). You may consider checking

there and seeing if anyone has a suggestion.... HTH!
