My boyfriend tells me when i'm having a szs he trys to pull my mouth apart, because I grind down so hard on my teeth. I haved 2 szs apart in the last 2 weeks. My bottoms gums are red and sore. I've never notice this before, i've been having them for 6 years, and my boyfriend has been w/ me for 5 years. Has any body else had a problem like this? Jamie

Teeth...

I don't grind my teeth, but some times my teeth chatter (like i'm freezing cold) so hard that you would think that they would all crack and fall out of my mouth.
Sometimes, when I realize this is happening I usually put my shirt sleeve or an edge of a blanket in my mouth so I don't hurt my teeth.
The chattering last sometimes for 15 to 20 minutes. My bottom jaw usually is sore when its done.

Hello

I dont know what I do but I do know that for about a week after my back teeth hurt in the gum like I have clenched so hard. And then the beginning of my jaw hurts.Below my temples. I have begun hearing myself squiel. But when this all began and I wasnt medicated I would have sz's every hour and they would role into the other and my tongue would stick out of my mouth and that would hurt.
