biting tongue

[hannalaura]

my tongue is very sore, I wakeup in the night with a shock as my jaw camps down onto my tongue!! usually the left and sometimes my cheek. last night I couldnt work out if I bit it or I had a sharp nerve pain. Anyone with the same?

Since having ME I've find myself gently chewing my tongue. I've always wondered what causes it? I've put it down to an overstimulated nervous system. Since taking Clonazepam it seems to have stopped.

I wake up most nights biting my tongue, think it must be a nerve twitching thing as I also wake up twitching my hands and legs.
