Quick question !

[mimii]

Just recently have noticed I Im clenching my teeth a lot, have to make a conscious effort to relax my jaw dont know why this has started, has anybody else had this ?

Mimii x

[Hidden]

Yep I have been doing it for days , in fact reading this , I have just realized how clenched mine is & I am struggling to relax it , I think it can make your teeth hurt as well

For me I no I am anxious at the moment about Wednesday , so that could be why I am at it again

Maybe suck something that way your jaw has to keep moving

I used to suck a lot of mint imperials , I grew very fond of them , it stopped me , but ende up we tooth ache , so I have had to stop

love

Hi whywhy, been waking up with painful teeth so must be doing it in my sleep, funny you saying about mint imperials I used to love foxes glacier mints in fact got addicted to them would get panicky if I was running low on packets lol so had to wean myself off them, have some strawberry bon bons in kitchen could try those

Mimii xx

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Well I did think you were doing something else in your sleep , but maybe you have been doing that as well

I used to wake up & I would be grinding my teeth i dont do that any more as that did use to make them hurt

Well I think it was a toffee I was sucking that started my toothache , I forgot to mention it when I said I had tooth ache , so do be careful with the bon bons & make sure what ever you take to is on offer as it can be an expensive habbit

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Yes you 'forgot' to mention the toffees whywhy what else would I be doing in my sleep lol well the bon bons are guess where from , not on offer yet though

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

How did you guess lol sorry, nodded off last night xx

Mimii

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Oh there you are

Dont no how I guessed , I am getting good am I not

Hope you had a good nights slepp , & maybe a visitor or maybe not

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Morning whywhy, no visitor again, slept ok thanks bit of headache today hows you

Mimii xx

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Again O dear

Well think mine has forgot where my front door is

Me well went to bed at stupid o.clock , then couldnt get up & stressing like there is no tomorrow over Wednesday , I wish it would come & go quick !

Is it tomorrow or Wednesday your daughter goes to college

I am getting muddled who starts back when , I think you maybe worrying a little over this , which I do understand , but I no for me , my son lacked so much confidence before he started college & after 3 years been there , he is a different person , I have everything crossed that this will be the case for your daughter as well , cant see why it shouldnt be

Think I have just seen its maybe next week they start back , told you I was muddled more than usual

This quick question is turning in to a long one , might of known you cant have a quick question on here

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Thank whywhy, yes it's Wednesday think we will all be glad when its Thursday lol

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

O right , well maybe we need a tense Wednesday post or something

Or we made it Thursday post , because we will

xxx

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Yes we will thats the right attitude

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Thought there was a bit of Bob The Builder nearly in that reply , except that was Yes we Can , but we can as well & will & are going to

xxx

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Im going to be worrying about her, you and m myself starting work lol oh dear

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Its normal to worry about her , & it seems with work as well , everything is happening all at the same time which always seems to be the case , but I bet she enjoys it , we will all keep everything crossed , so thats no visitors till Thursday for any of us

xxx

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Ok will tell Rod Ive got a headache

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Well not to sure I could tell Will-i-am I had , so cant make a promise on that one

xxxx

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Just tell him your worth waiting for then

[Hidden]

That happens to me as well. I clench my muscles a lot too. Never sure if its the meds or anxiety.

Bev x

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Didn't think I was feeling anxious but maybe subconsciously I am , few things starting next week x

[bonnie1959]

Hi mimi, I have this, my jaw is hurting now, I have also had loads of what feels like toothaches , and like my whole mouth is hurting, and yet I haven't got a bad tooth, I have been sucking a lot of boiled sweets, and I started that due to the clenching my teeth to stop me.

Bonnie

[mimii in reply to bonnie1959]

Thanks Bonnie I now have an excuse to eat lots of sweets

Mimii x

[bonnie1959 in reply to mimii]

Due to the teeth, might be better off with chewing gum, I am going to change, I don't want to have to visit the dentist just yet with anxiety so bad, the thought of being chucked back in a dentist chair does not thrill me.

Bonnie

[mimii in reply to bonnie1959]

Have to be careful with mine too got more fillings than teeth

Mimii x

[bonnie1959 in reply to mimii]

really whats needed is something that you can suck for a while that is not full of sugar , or damaging to the teeth. I leave it with you, I must sleep, nigh night.

[mimii in reply to bonnie1959]

Thanks Bonnie nite nite

[Hidden in reply to bonnie1959]

Read the side of chewing gum packet,it is a laxative

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Very Wise Lindalou , good job you did

Infact have been wondering where you have been , then I thought she maybe just looking at those polls again

xxx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I look 2/3times a day,do you notice he is avoiding!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh Lindalou , this made me laugh 2/3 times a day , think we are going to have to wean you of this one

I have to say I dont have the same problem as you with this

Do you think there could be a reason he is avoiding us , maybe , I can think of one

You could always do him a post asking how he is , or now he is a member , a message even , just trying to help

xxx

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Dont need that Lindalou am very regular

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Well thats good to no , I will sleep better tonight now

xxx

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Well if it helps can discuss this further

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Well not sure what more there is to no , but by all means feel free if you think of something , I suppose it could be a kind of distraction from my thoughts

xxx

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Perhaps not a very pleasant distraction

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Maybe not , but seems to be the only one we have managed to come up with so far

We could have a Will-i-am Day tomorrow , post everything you can find on him , now that would keep me busy , looking at all that , I feel it would make a lovely post

xxx

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

Well I would if I could Im a total idiot with tech stuff hopefully the intelligent ppl on here may be able to

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Oh mimii your not , look at your faces

[mimii in reply to Hidden]

[thomson1898 in reply to Hidden]

Love it

[thomson1898]

Another one here I am terrible for doing this, whenever I'm concentrating or making a physical effort like scrubbing, gardening, even chopping veg & it's getting worse.

Last time I was at the dentist he asked me to clench my jaw while he felt the muscles at the back, he was saying 'Good grief what have you been doing?' Embarrassing.

Maybe I should try the sweetie thing, though definitely no toffees

x

ps so much for the quick question

[mimii in reply to thomson1898]

Lol made me laugh, what did you reply?!!

Maybe we should all try those gobstoppers do you remember those

Mimii x

[thomson1898 in reply to mimii]

I got the distinct impression it didn't matter what I said he was never going to believe me

Ooh, never liked gobstoppers, aniseed balls for me every time

x

[mimii in reply to thomson1898]

No didnt like those ! Think I nodded of there better check out lol nite sleep well

Mimii x

[thomson1898 in reply to mimii]

Night mimii

x

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

I could never fit a gobstopper in , my mouth wasn't big enough

xxx

[thomson1898 in reply to Hidden]

There are so many replies to that I'm not even going to start

x

[Hidden in reply to thomson1898]

I thought some of my answers on here were not getting picked up on , yes I bet they will be exactly what I would be thinking to

xxx

[babyhippo67]

Yeah ,I do it all the time.

Just read your post and realised my jaws are aching.

Part and parcel of anxiety AM SURE OF IT. XX

[mimii in reply to babyhippo67]

Hi babyhippo, love the name

Yes looks like this is quite common, trying to keep mine relaxed today x

Mimii x

[babyhippo67]

Ah,than:ks for getting back.

Yeah,I'm always clenching my teeth unknowingly.

In fact "anxiety-wise"I seem to suffer from everything hence my being a health anxious creature.Terrible headaches and vision disturbances at present. Xx

[mimii in reply to babyhippo67]

Do you take painkillers, Ive just had couple of nurofen, try not to take them too often x

Mimii x

[Eloisa]

another one here who suffers from this jaw/teeth clenching thingy.......have been doing it for quite a while now and have always thought it was due to the medication? Can anybody suggest a cure (not the sweeties as I already get thro too many as it is)....love & peace Eloisa.

[mimii in reply to Eloisa]

Im not on meds so just due to tension in my case, trying the whistling method

Mimii x

[thomson1898]

Just remembered what I do to stop this.

When I keep doing it no matter how hard I try to stop I whistle! It is impossible to clench your jaw while whistling, I suppose singing would work too but probably best if I don't

x

[mimii in reply to thomson1898]

Lol just came on and read this immediately reialised was clenching again, now Im whistling

Mimii x

[thomson1898 in reply to mimii]

Lol, it works! Drives everyone else mad, but it works

x

[mimii in reply to thomson1898]

Im back on the sweets again now lol xx

[thomson1898 in reply to mimii]

Oh fidget. What sweets is it today?

x

[mimii in reply to thomson1898]

Dont tell anyone,found 3 glacier mints in my bag, not supposed to have them !

[babyhippo67 in reply to mimii]

I just come in and logged on and my jaws are aching too.

Lol

Can't believeit can you.We'll all be whistling soon.

No,I don't take any meds for my headaches OR for the anxiety.Maybe that's where I'm going wrong). lol

[mimii in reply to babyhippo67]

Those nurofen didn't work that we'll think they upset my stomach a bit too

Mimii x

[babyhippo67 in reply to mimii]

No good for me as I suffer from ibs as well and ibuprofen wreak havoc with my guts!! Xx

[thomson1898 in reply to babyhippo67]

We'll all be whistling or have rotten teeth from all the sweets

x

[Eloisa]

Hi Mimi & all, just been trying out the whistling and it does work........unfortunately every time I do it the puppy comes bounding over and covers me with slobbery kisses!!!!!!love &peace Eloisa x

[thomson1898 in reply to Eloisa]

Well I suppose it's hard to clench your jaw then as well so still works lol

x

[mimii in reply to Eloisa]

Ah thats a nice thing bless him
