This observation is from my own experience, I feel worse
when its that time of the month. Can anyone relate to this?

Hey Priscilla, glad to see you are back. How have you been?

I know what you mean, I get the same way, muscle spasms, headaches that floor me and clenching gets worse. The docs put me on the pill to help with all of this (they thought is was migraines at first) but it hasn't helped at all. If you or anyone knows of anything please post it.

Take care, Jill

I think my splint is out of alignment too, I
probably need another adjustment and the pms thing
doesn't help either.

Priscilla, Oh, Yes, Definitely!!! It is so much worse at that time. I think sometimes I get a menstrual headache and that combines with all the other stuff. My specialist just told me today that hormones play a huge role in this and especially for women in the 30's age range. He told me I can look forward to menopause when my hormones settle down. My Mom had an early menopause, sure hope she passed that down to me! Shell
