For some unknown reason I developed bruxism 5 years ago. I suspect it was a side effect from some anxiety medication, that I took for about a month. Whatever it was, it made my depression worse. I...
Possibly. It does calm my weary jaw down. The only problem is, I followed the molding directions perfectly, and it still seems loose. I worry about possibly choking on it. :(...
Update- Finally got a sports guard. I wonder if it will fit right? My teeth are oddly positioned... ^^; I had to reschedule the appointment with the specialist. My financial situation went from bad,...
Unfortunately I couldn't find a generic bite guard, that's suitable for me. Maybe I need to travel to a near by city, my towns kind of rural. I have a appointment with a oral surgeon on the 10th...
A few weeks ago I fell into a door way, face first, right in the maxillary. That part of face hasn't felt normal since. There's slight inflammation, soreness, sharp pain, and it just feels off. It's...
I found out, just for a evaluation it's 300. I don't know what I'm going to do. The long term consequences, are terrible, and no one seems to care. :(...
Funnily enough I can relax every muscle group except shoulders, neck, and face. I wonder if I have a chi blockage, or something......
Alright, thanks. I'll see what I can find. Ultimately I aim to break the habit of clenching all together, the long term effects are not pretty. So many people say it's impossible, but my step...
I saw my dentist, all he did was verify I have TMJ disorder, and referred me to a specialist. The thing about the over counter guards is there bulky, and I have a exceptionally tiny mouth. I'm scared...
I was wondering if anyone knew. I suffer from horrendous sleep clenching, which has resulted in two different volumes of tinnitus in both ears, tooth pain, joint pain, and facial pain. I feel like...
That would be great, thanks. Any chance a TMJ disk was displaced?...
I've been dealing with TMD for past few months now. Just cant afford treatment right now. :/ The thing that worries most me, is this particular joint. It started acting weird, ever since I robbed the...
Saw my doctor this afternoon. I have some mysterious ear thing. Otitis Media, maybe. My symptoms are inflamed ear canal, throbbing ear drum, obnoxious ringing, and lack of air, (in other words my...
I've been hanging in there, bruxism seemingly got better, then a cold front came in and I clenched like there was no tomorrow. Next I know I have high pitched tinnitus accompanied by intense ear...
I don't think, I qualify for medicare. The insurance I do have, is for the poor, in my state. I never worked before, so I can't get unemployment. I'll be getting SSI soon, but not soon enough....
The problem is I can't afford a mouth guard, right now. Not even the cheap ones. I've tried asking my Dad for help, he doesn't care, and my mother can't afford to do anything. I was seeing a...
I don't think I can live with TMJ/TMD/Bruxism it's too darn painful, and it's only getting worse. My insurance is completely useless, when it comes to TMJ, and I don't have the money for expensive...
I like to get a night guard, I just can't afford it right now. I'm beyond broke....
A few weeks ago I saw my dentist, he confirmed I have TMD, and gave me a referral for a specialist. Sadly insurance doesn't cover the visit/treatment plan. I fear my condition is deteriorating, and...
I tried a TMJ exercise designed to release tension, but I fear it may have done more harm then good. Whenever I relax my jaw muscles they twitch/move involuntarily, followed by crackling muscles. Is...
I don't know. Just been freaking out. I suffer from severe anxiety, mild depression, various sleep disorders, inability to handle stress, and general feeling of uselessness. For a little while my mom...
Alright, thanks. By any chance could something be wrong with my pituitary gland? It hurts....
The pain radiates in front of my ear, and along my cheek bones. Flesh in those general areas feels inflamed, and tingly, as well as sore. I'm a bit scared what's going to happen next. Hopefully I can...
No, I don't have any wisdom teeth yet. One wisdom tooth could be erupting. I've been experiencing immense pain on the left, bottom, back of my mouth. Which could be the very reason I clinch in the...
A few months back I saw a doctor. At the time I suspected a ear infection. He told me my ear looked fine, and theorized habitual clinching, while I slept. There's slight swelling on my left...
-Sigh-I was doing it again. This time on my right. I do have a bit of a overbite. The frustrating thing is there is nothing I can do about it. Whenever I need something, my mother is like ask your...
I have considered, they are just so expensive....
Saturday morning I woke up with incredible pain in my face. This is not the first time this has happened, but it was the worst. I still have lingering pain. :/ More often then not the clinching...
Oh my gosh, I totally get this. Sadly my coping skills are zero. ^^;...
That's right, I never had/have any of the above. I am a anxiety/depression/ sufferer. Does anyone know, if Florastor can do anything weird? And how long should probiotics be taken after antibiotics?...
I talked to my mom about my concerns. She said, she will buy me Florastor, and probiotic rich foods/drinks....
Update- Guess it's all, or nothing at this point. Either I caught the common cold, or I have premature strep. ^^;...
As of right now, I only have 11 dollars, and no credit/debit card. ^^; Last month I was on amoxicillin, which did a number on me. There's no way my gut flora is at hundred percent. Not to be gross or...
I completely agree. One probiotic in particular is especially effective against C Diff and that is Saccharomyces Boulardii. Not only does it go after C Diff but since it isn't a bacteria but a...
I heard "Cefuroxime axetil" can induce C Diff? Which scares the living day lights out of me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....
Something is up, I don't like it. Anyone know what's going on, or at least have a general idea? Please help....
Yeah, definitely. A pharmacist on rite aid dot com said the meds should be fine, as long as they are under 86 degrees. I'm going to get a second opinion, in the real world....
I'm gonna start taking the Medicine Sunday, when my moms around. In case of a allergic reaction, or something. Since Curoxime is Amoxicillins cousin, I should be ok. Problems are more likely to occur...
I heard "Bacillus coagulans" can aid with digestion, and whatnot. Is there any risk of a autoimmune response to the substance? I have seasonal allergies. I've been tempted to try "Digestive Advantage...
I've been wondering, if Digestive Advantage Daily Probiotics Supplement, Gummies would help, with my D concerns? Also is there any risk of a autoimmune response? I have a bad habit of thinking the...
Thanks for your thoughts guys. I'm going to take the medication soon, with a probiotic rich diet. (Yogurt, Kefir, Pickles, ETC.) I don't know why, I haven't given it much thought before, but it...
Last month I was prescribed amoxicillin(Penicillin) for a bacterial sinus infection. It didn't take care of my problem, so I saw my doctors assistant last week, and got prescribed cefuroxime axetil...
