Re: have you tried, do you have....

[Guest guest]

If I think sibilance is coming, especially from my parents, I sniffle loudly to block it out. (Sorry, guys!) I've been doing it a lot more often lately, only part of which is because I'm having mild trouble breathing through my nose.

I sometimes get migraines too, but they're rare, and they often come for no good reason. I can sympathize, but I can't help you there. Sorry again. :-(

Hi Tammy,

I am new to the group and had wanted to ask about Headaches. I do get the occasional Migraine, but I suffer from Tension Headaches and have every day of my life for as far back as I can remember. I grind my teeth very hard at night and have since I was a child (probably due to all the stress of dealing with my 4S during the day). This has lead to TMJ (jaw problems) which has led to my lovely daily headaches. I take Excedrin Migraine for them and it works most days, but not always. I also have a special appliance that I wear 24/7 that holds my jaw in proper alignemnt. However, it does not prevent me from griding my teeth while I sleep, which is the cause of my headaches. So, back to your question, I feel very strongly that 4S contributes to Headaches and Migraines. If you are like me, in flight or fight mode all the time from reactions to 4S "triggers", you could easily see how this could

occur. Have you gone to a Neurologist? They should be able to help you with your Migraines. Does anyone else have TMJ or daily headaches?

(raises hand) I had something similar to TMJ some time last year. Visits to a chiropractor cleared it up. I highly recommend chiropractic help for just about everything. It's been helping me keep my hips aligned and my jaw healthy for a coupla years now. And it's a gods-send to my right shoulder and collarbone, which still bug me in bad weather despite the fact I've long since stopped falling off horses.I think dentists or orthodontists make anti-clenching/grinding devices. You might wanna talk to yours. (nodnod)

Yep... I also have headaches quite often and also have had problems

with TMJ pain. Last year I had a bad flare up with my jaw and was

sent to a specialist to see if it was out of place. It wasn't thank

heavens but I still have days when I notice the " popping " in my ears

when I chew or yawn, and some days it feels a bit sore and stiff. My

doctor told me my TMJ problems along with my headaches were caused

from anxiety. DUH. I could have told them that! It's the friggin

4S that is causing the anxiety which causes everything else!

I know that when I hear a sound that makes me irrate, my instant

reaction, besides yelling or freaking out, is to clench my teeth.

I'm convinced they are all related.

I also have TMJ but mine is a birth defect. My jaw naturally sits offcenter. I have excruciating headaches. I can take up to two maxalt which is prescription strenght migraine meds at $20 per pill! And it still doesn't cure them. I took two yesterday and I still just had to go to bed and try to sleep it off.

I had ALL my wisdom teeth removed because my jaw pain was bad and they were

convinced it was my wisdom teeth. When they were gone and I was all healed, the

pain still persisted. I went back to the Oral surgeon and they said they didnt

know what was the problem because it wasnt TMJ and they never said anything

about anxiety which I have a hell of a lot in my life. I was just told to 'suck

it up' and take some advil...ever heard that one?!! So its kind of a sigh of

relief to read that they might be related. Even though it just means 4S is more

of a pain in the ass then it was before.
