I have difficulty eating meat which I don't really mind because meat is not the main sourse of nourishment for me. However I do resent the sore teeth and mouth. I have tried the mouth guard. It works if it stays in your mouth at night.

It was insane. <br /><br />I managed to talk myself out of doing it (even while sleeping) mostly out of desperation because I can't wear the mouth guards. <br /><br />I hope a little positive thinking and a mouth guard will help you :)Kristin - The Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08856336718919208752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-16647329474402537362009-06-02T16:01:45.730-05:002009-06-02T16:01:45.730-05:00I sometimes bite my nails and when I was little I'...I sometimes bite my nails and when I was little I'd twirl my hair.

I hope you can get the pain under control soon and even more importantly, the stress.<br /><br />Like Janine, I have had bouts of hair loss.. handfuls of it several times a day.

One would think that when one was asleep, one was at one's most relaxed physical state, but this is not always the case. Stress does its work on the body around the clock it would appear.<br /><br />Of course I have a nervous habit or two. I pick at my split ends when I am stressed and also inhale from a Vicks jar.Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810442216887536113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-49612839583682209122009-05-30T17:27:24.201-05:002009-05-30T17:27:24.201-05:00Oh Stevie ~ I do the exact same thing!

I know a lot of people who swear by them. <br /><br />I don't have a regular habit that I am aware of but I do remember 2 years when I was under extreme stress, the way my body reacted was my hair starting falling out A LOT every day for about 2 months. That was an eye opener to me to get things under control that I had the power to do. The changes made my home a much more peaceful place but it was not so good with the blended family (step-children) but it had to be done.ChaChaneenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513422419246644559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-64327836976237955862009-05-30T16:10:12.118-05:002009-05-30T16:10:12.118-05:00I bit my nails, too.

Who wants to wear such a thing to bed, living alone or not.;)) I am going to ask my father is there is not another solution (he is a dentist).;))<br />As for a nervous habit, I did use to have one when I was younger; biting the inside of my cheeks. Then I once saw someone else doing it and realized how awful it looked and it helped me stop.;))<br />Hope you are having a great Saturday and I hope your pain will go away soon.;)) xoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-49102961412944069372009-05-30T13:43:30.609-05:002009-05-30T13:43:30.609-05:00I also clench my jaw and grind my teeth, but only ...I also clench my jaw and grind my teeth, but only when I'm stressed.
