Well...

 So I have determined that clenching my jaw at night has been the culprit of all my face pain over the last several weeks.  I woke up yesterday hurting pretty bad.  I had been given meds for it, but went and bought myself a night bite guard.  Last night was the test run, and I feel great.  I woke up and realized that was definitely the problem.

I bet Jay finds that sexy as hell too at night. :)

Sorry sweetie!! Jaw clenching is the worst, so hopefully this will help you!

I hate those things...I always end up spitting them out in my sleep and clenching my jaw anyways. :o) I hope they work better for you than me 'cuz the jaw pain the next day is not so much with the fun.

I have the same problem so I completely understand. Definitely use the bite guard, it will help a LOT in the long run!

I heard this years ago, but I thought there were some that were a hard plastic - but that you could put in some boiling water and clench your teeth so that you could remold it to fit better to your mouth? I haven't done it myself, but especially if they aren't too expensive it might be worth a try!

That is the kind I have. The top of the tray is mold able, but the bottom back side has channels that the side that sits against your bottom teeth is not mold able. I left dents in that side. It was crazy.
