Hi knowles,

Yes I do, I have been doing it for ages, well since starting Sertraline. I have to be constantly aware and try to stop, but it creeps back lol. Get jaw ache chronic from it.

As for vertigo, if I am up high, I have to get on my knees to feel safe. Went for a walk along white cliffs years ago, well I was crawling in the end, I hate heights, can't go near windows in tall buildings as I feel dizzy and sick, have to sit down.

Hope your results are good ones xxx love Cookie xxx

Hi

I grind my teeth have done for years , I no its anxiety with me , I am not quite as bad as I used to be now though , but I think I have swapped a bit & clench my face muscles now , until you get pain , you don't even realise you are doing it

Vertigo I get as well , I don't think this is due to anxiety , something I have though , it can be worse after a cold

Migraines ..well I can go on about them , I used to get 6 a year till 4 years ago , then they started coming every 4 to 5 weeks , I do believe its because I am going through the change , but it doesn't make it any better & getting them so much more often I do get frightened

Good luck with your results , let us no how you go on with them

love

Hi

I think most people grind their teeth to be honest me included i think its because we are not switch off even when we are sleeping.

As for the vertigo i had this due to some viral infection horrible needless to say and like cookie and whywhy i do not like heights of any kind. Sometimes if i look up or turn around quickly feel like i am going to fall over or look as if i am drunk (chance would be a fine thing).

I hope you get good results regarding EEG.

take care hugs

Love Seyi xxx

I grind mine in my sleep, then wake up and try to stop doing it as I've not got many teeth left :-)

Hope the doctors goes well

all the best
