Re: Headaches

Was getting my infusion today and another patient was on her way to pick up a night guard to prevent grinding her teeth (also causing headaches). What do you know, my other complaint has been my teeth hurting and I've been chewing down pens and pencils like a rodent due to all this stress. So I think the mystery of the non-stop headache is solved - hopefully.

I'm picking up a night guard as I do grind my teeth at night and onc. prescribed lorazepam for the anxiety while we see if this is the problem. I catch myself grinding my teeth now during the day as well.

Cancer does = stress

Thanks all!
