Jaw Hurts from grinding teeth - Bruxism

[saorsa.elegy]

I am not sure if this belongs somewhere else, so let me know if I made a mistake!

My Bunny has been complaining of grinding her teeth all night long, to awaken with a really hurt jaw, teeth and head. She has recently taken x for the first time in a year.
On the other hand the teeth grinding has gone one for some time. Her boyfriend says that it wakes him up at night!
Bunny tried a guard but her mouth is small and it is rather uncomfortable.
Does anyone have any tips?

Magnesium supplements (available from health food/supplement shops) can help relax jaw muscles/prevent bruxia when using MDMA. Chaz, from Chaz and Dave, says from his own experience it really helps.

So would one use this like a vitamin? Take on a regular basis or just be4 or after a session? Bunny is grinding all the time

[PingoTango]

Chaz has used them semi-regularly in the past to combat migraines, and found that for the few months he was taking them, the Magnesium he was taking also relaxed his jaw and facial muscles if he took MDMA*, so it sounds like that taking these regularly would help your tooth grinding problem. Not a guarantee though, it might not be as effective if the tooth grinding is more of a subconcious/nervous tick than a conscious habit.

*Now, chaz likes the gurn and welcomes it as all part of the MD experience. He's a bit strange like that.

I can corroborate through anecdotal experience from friends that the Mg vitamins do the trick!

[PingoTango]

health911 says that taking between 400 and 500mg Magnesium before bed helps with night-time bruxism.

HTH!

YOU GUYS HAVE SAVED BUNNY! Thanks
I will check out that health 911
BTW, what is the "gurn"?

[PingoTango]

The chattering/tightening/clenching of the jaws whilst on MDMA. Chaz likes the way himself and other people talk whilst only semi in control of what their lower jaw gets up to.

please keep us informed to the progress of you nighttime teeth grinding and if the suggestions work for you.

[saorsa.elegy]

I will keep everyone posted.
I think it's finny that Chaz likes the way people talk when their mouth has a mind of it's own
Will get the Mag tomorrow morn and start the regimen tomorrow night
peace love and happiness y'all

once watched an episode of ER (or some imilar program) where a doctor asked if the patient had any jaw ache, he then went into cardiac arrest. could a chemical imbalance, such as sodium or magnesium be a contributer to SWIM's jaw ache? or is it just the mechanics of the all night gurn after using E?

[saorsa.elegy]

I don't really know what happened, but it was like my teeth didn't fit together. Couldn't bite all the way down or open all the way up. I wore a mouth piece for a bit and that seemed to help. I can eat again.

when ever nik smokes the go , he grinds teeth all night, even or i should say specially when its good .. so he chews gum and like its going out of style.

two questions:

what is an appropriate amount to take to prevent jaw clenching/grinding?

how soon before the substance is injested should the magnesium be taken?

the drifter hit his teeth together so hard last time, it loosened one of them for a week...he doesnt want to risk any further damage.

My friends would just take one MG supplement about an hour before they dropped. My friend doesn't remember the dose of the supplement but any standardized supplement ought to do the trick.
