I've had migraines for a while.. and a nurse i know (she's still going to med school) felt my mouth popping and clicking.. and i could NEVER find out what my migraines were.. i kept a food diary, everything.. well.. she suggested maybe it was caused by TMJ.. i'm not sure if i have it or not because my parents cannot afford a dentist or doctor right now... for the longest time my jaw has cracked and popped even when i barely open my mouth.. it's been sore enough that it hurts to talk.. i just ignored it.. also i grind my teeth at night.. that's the best information i can give.. please help, if anyone knows about TMJ migraines.. that would help me so much.. i've been trying forever to find out what causes my migraines.. thank you!

Usually the Dentist starts with a biteguard. They are usually expensive. So before you spend the money you could go to the store and get a Sports bite. You heat it up to fit your mouth and place it on your teeth. These are a little bulky but this way you might find out if it works.

The gringding of your teeth can cause TMJ. That is short for temporamandibular joint disfunction, that is the joint where your lower jaw and upper jaw hinge together. It is supposed to be a round joint but can become worn from every day use as well as the grinding. The condition can be treated but you will have to see a dentist or dental specialist to have it done.

i'm getting cluster migraines. I start to get them with the help of dropping imaginitive and prescient, my left eye is going blind and the discomfort is excruciating. I even have specific medicine to take that knocks me out. i'm usually returned on my ft in 6-8 hours, yet whilst i don't take something i'm going to be screaming for 12 hours. I take Naramig at the same time with Codeine reliable ingredient. i come across that an ice %. will sometimes help, yet somewhat could be mendacity down in a depressing room. i'm going to get a chain of those over a era of six weeks, then won't get them for some months. you're able to truly see your GP approximately getting some greater effective medicine, because of the fact Tylenol never cuts it with me..

THIS IS THE ONLY PROVEN WAY TO STOP NIGHT GRINDING WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MUSCLE TENSION AND ALL THE MISERY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MIGRAINES. IT INVOLVES NO DRUGS OF ANY KIND AND ONCE YOU LEARN MORE YOU WILL BE AMAZED. SEE THE LINKS BELOW, IT CALLED THE N.T.I. BRUXISM APPLIANCE.
ONLY A DENTIST CAN MAKE ONE FOR YOU.

try the drugstore bite split
moist heat, applied 10 minutes on ... 10 off
take ibuprofen for the inflammation
avoid gum, hard, crunchy, chewy foods until this calms down
hope you are better soon
