Pain wasn’t MS related

I have been crying everyday for the past week because of how horrible this pain I’ve been having in the back of my head to my neck and shoulders has been.

Long story short, I’ve been super stressed out lately and caused my own pain by constantly clenching my jaw. This pain was so brutal that my neurologist actually prescribed me nerve pain medication after I reported these symptoms to him thinking my occipital neuralgia got worse!

My husband put the pieces together and had a hunch that I just needed to relax my jaw if I was clenching it all the time. I got a mouth guard and the relief of relaxing my jaw is something I’ve never felt in my life.

Just had to share because it made me happy and has cleared my cog fog. It’s a good morning. Remember to relax your jaw!
