I'm still trying to understand what my triggers are, so far I find that stress or concentrating for long periods are triggers, but does anyone find that teeth grinding while asleep is a trigger for their TN, in particular for Type II pain?
I have type 1, and am a lifelong - over 40 years teeth grinder!
I think it has not helped my TN that is for sure!
If you think it would help you can get a bite guard from dentist and sleep with it!
Keep posting!
I am type 1 & now 2 & had a severe teeth grinding problem when I was younger.
Thanks for that, I have ground my teeth often, but not for long periods to cause damage to my teeth. Apparently I have done this since I was a teenager. It's hard to take note of how often and how long - when you're asleep!

Hi Sally
I understand that you no longer grind your teeth at all, but did you have TN while you were a teeth grinder? If so, has the TN pain or attacks lessened now?
