I can't thank each of you enough for taking the time to respond. Yes I'm a perfectionist and yes I do have trouble falling asleep and when I do different relaxation exercises, I too, then find myself putting pressure on myself to fall asleep quicker, which then of course does the opposite. It's...

BruceMC I have read the other TMJ forum. There were a few things that helped. This is all TMS related (not physical causes- been checked out thoroughly). Stress, anxiety, and adrenal fatigue lead directly to jaw issues. My old chiro. worked on the stress and adrenal points (along with points...

There was an edit button- no delete button anywhere. Editing was how I was able to remove everything that I had written, but there was no option to delete- I looked for quite a while- and there had been no responses yet, so I don't know why there was no delete button. It's nice to meet another...

Thank you. I really needed to read this!!!!

It's been a while since I've visited, but I've had on-going struggles with clenching my teeth at night and I need some ideas. I have never clenched during my waking hours. It only happens while I sleep and have no control over what I'm doing with my muscles. I've tried many things, though, in...

I couldn't figure out how to delete this posting to move it, so I just deleted what I wrote here and copied it over to the Support Forum. I think that's where I should have put it originally. Sorry about any problems this may cause. Megan

Absolutely Natalie. It was actually with the help of Fred Amir's book that I was able to heal my headaches that I was having about 5 years ago. While back pain is the most complained about TMS symptom, any pain can be TMS related. So when reading his book, just put "headache" in place of back...

Leslie, THANK YOU so much. I keep reading your post over and over. I am continuously appreciative of your kind and wise words. You have no idea.

I used to keep a gratitude journal and yes I would like to start it up again. One thing that I'm hard on myself about is that I start things like this and do good for a while, but then I eventually just stop. I have this all or nothing personality (perfectionist) and if I don't do it everyday...

G.R. I suffer from anxiety and I find Claire Weekes' book to be very helpful.

What a great discussion. I can totally relate to Pete. And Leslie, you are always full of such words of wisdom, kindness and support. Thank you

GiGi, I suffer from the same problem lately too. CMA's Advice is very good. Lots of water, breathing exercises, and not being hard on yourself if you need to take a painkiller to help you function. Something else that I do that works really well is to sit down with a headache and actually talk...

Absolutely!!!
