I've had chomping/grinding issues from Lyme and uping my magnesium intake virtually ended most of it. I use transdermal magnesium (there are a couple of distributors online and thru Amazon). I find it absorbs better than oral capsules. I regularly take probably 400 mg oral a day and about a tablespoon of the mag gel slathered on my neck/shoulders before bed. Does wonders!

In the month after having my first child I ground my teeth so fiercely that I would experience all of what you describe. A mouth guard did not help as I chomped down on that equally as hard, if not harder, than my own teeth, so it saved my teeth but I still got the headaches, etc. I learned much later after becoming ill, that, at least in my case, it had everything to do with magnesium deficiency. Try taking 400 mg of magnesium in the form of glycinate or citrate (not oxide or carbonate), spread out, with meals, during the day. I no longer have any tooth-grinding headaches, jaw pain, etc. Best of luck! I would like to share that I used to do this before I became ill with Lyme.

I'm not sure the connection, but I found it to be comforting when a few in my support group mentioned that when they were treated and symptom-free from Lyme, that their need for a mouth guard went away completely! I know many dentists, like mine, pointed to stress and the frontal lobe "action" for the cause. (I am a "over-thinker" as well, so pre-lyme diagnosis...I thought this as the exact cause) But, I'm finding true many a time over, that most of my symptoms throughout the years were exacerbated by stress, but not the Cause. The bugs are. As you may know, Lyme and co-infections can create their own emotional anxiety in the mind, not to mention the physical array of stress, as you aptly mentioned. Luckily my mouth guard works, otherwise my jaw would be locked..a lot. uf. Good luck. And Good luck with Stephen's suggestions! Cheers. Dear Mr/Ms “Chomping”,
