Bruxism, botulinum toxin, Hashimoto, anxiety, tension

I have had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis since 2014. I'm 34 years old. In addition I also have diabetes, PCOS and PTSD.

I suffer from bruxism, a lot of anxiety, I live in a houve with children with autism.

I broke my teeth and a dentist reconstructed them. Now I use dental plaque to sleep.

But I still grind my teeth, and my jaw is locked, it hurts a lot. 😞

I've been thinking about applying botulinum toxin, but I'm afraid.

Opinions? Should I? What are the risks?

😥

Have you ever had a complete thyroid test done?

When my thyroid levels are feeling off I clench my teeth.

Take care of the teeth, make it a priority no matter what you need to do. You could end up with ludwigs angina, sepsis, encephalitis, or one of many other problems that can land you in the hospital for days. Good luck to you.
