Short story: muscle relaxant + sleeping pill = best night's sleep of my life

Longer story, not overly entertaining, of how this came to be. )

life, sleep is for the weak, science ftw!, all of my life decisions have been good, silly

FEELING REFRESHED!!! That is good, good news indeed. The stuff isn't just zonking you out, it's actually promoting actual, genuine, bona fide, real, goddamn authentic fucking sleep! And plenty of it! Awesome. You deserve it. *huggles*

Uh, is the cause of the jaw pain known and understood and not important, medically speaking?

IKR, it's amazing! I can practically feel my coping mechanisms replenishing :D

*hug*

And the jaw ties in to everything else - I'm a stress ball and a night grinder. I'm being fitted for a night guard on Feb 5, which should help quite a bit (actually being able to feel your teeth is very unsettling). Theoretically, if I can learn to relax all of my jaw troubles go away (along with the neck and shoulder spasms and the tension headaches), but seeing as how we're 15 years from when I first started getting the worst headaches, that's not as easy as it sounds XD

wishing the good results for you, bb -- you're in my universe with this stuff! something that might be worth trying is accupuncture; tension/spasms are one of the things it works fairly well for, at least, it's helped my mom a whole lot (she has lots of arthritis in her shoulders and neck and tons of spasm)

if after some while teh flexeril gets less effective, it might help. also agree, night guard is supposed to do much good. so -- crossing fingers and sending u some good wishes!
