Jaw Twitching and Relaxation Difficulties

[ChaoticGlow42]

Every time I try and relax my mouth is driving me nuts. It gets crawly. prickly, tingly and twitchy. It keeps me from relaxing. I can't nap and I can only sleep at night once I am completely exhausted and crash....usually around half way though the night. My jaw problems really kick it up a notch when I lie down too...twitching, tremors and jerking sometimes. Of course the more it happens the more worried I get and the less sleep I get, the worse EVERYTHING gets. Is there anything I can do? Do you get this too?One other note...for females: Does all of this seem worse at the end f your cycle?Thanks...Jess

Yes, this happens to me alot. My face is a real twitcher. I have had my jaw jerk a few times while trying to fall asleep also. As far as symptoms getting worse during my cycle I really think they do

I totally understand what your saying. Its such a hard thing to deal with. I have some good nights when it doesnt bother me too much and then other nights I am up all night. The kids thing I can relate to also. the first time I went through this I had all 4 of my kids at home and it was a real challenge. This time I just have one left at home and a granchild but I get very cranky also. I am to myself alot more then I normally am too. I hate that I let it affect me like this. Are you at disneyworld or disneyland? I am located in central florida.

Yeah its liquid sunshine today. I just looked at some of your old posts and we have a few things in common. I have the reflux problem along with alot of post nasal drip. I am so phlegmy sometimes ,alot after I eat. I saw that you get the electric zap thingys on your tongue too.I find it so hard to focus on anything else sometimes. I am glad you are having fun and I hope the weather clears up for you soon. I live like 10 minutes from disney. My whole family loves the parks also

Yes i get horseness that will come and go and the post nasal stuff started for me when the reflux got really bad. I also have some swallowing issues.

Grrr.... We started the drive home from our vacation today. I was in the van thinking that I have had a pretty good day..symptom wise. I wasn't feeling hoarse and no lump in the throat. Wouldn't you know, I met up with a friend in a city we were passing through. While eating, I must have bit my lip (not so much on the inside but more on the actual lip...like the lip must have curled over my teeth or something) in different places at least 3 times. Of course, that shot down the good feeling I had earlier in the evening. Jess

I dont know about you but I think when I am around certain people that I am not around normally I start thinking I hope they dont notice this or that . Like face twitching, talking different, ... and I think I make myself such a nervous wreck I then bite my lip, shake ,twitch more, my throat gets real tight ect... At least I hope thats what it is. Its a real pain in the butt isnt it
