I need help finding relief

Since this last bout with illness I seem to have gone into a bit of a flare.  My jaws and feet and hands are worst affected.  But the jaws are the most annoying and painful.  Talking, chewing even just sitting still they ache and feel so tight.  Anyone have any tips on what to do to improve this?

Hey BabyBloo,

well sometimes when my Jaw acts up like that , I try to do these excersises specifically for the jaw, losen them up...I will try to decribe it best as I can...

first I take my tongue, and put it underneath inside my front teeth, the tip of the tongue should bend naturally under the back of your front teeth..causing the Tense Jaw to drop naturally...it hurts at first, but by doing so, it helps losen the tense muscles and at the same time it lesens the pain, and using Ice Packs & heat helps in addition..

Also when my Jaw acts like that...I dont chew anything, i just consume soups and things that do not require any chewing...and try to avoid sipping things with a straw, sometimes it makes it worse...

Here is a website, for some Jaw excersise's, hope this helps!!!
