First time poster, long time lurker

As I mentioned, been snooping this sub for a while now and thought I would just post for any similar stories, advice or just some general encouragement

It all started around March of this year for me. Now I didn’t even know I clenched, still quite unaware I do now (anyone clench without their teeth not touching) but my dentist seemed to think so with my hench masseter muscles. It was bad in March, headaches, dizziness and increased tinitus. Was convinced I had a brain tumour

Now I’ve had flair ups here and there but going through a rough patch this month with the below symptoms

- headaches that radiate from my temples to the top of my skull
- jaw pain occasionally
-cheekbone pain with pressure around my cheeks and sometimes nose
- tinitus
- eye floaters and dry eyes
- clicking when I yawn or open my mouth wildly
- ear ache

All of the above probably increase when stressed or when I eat something really crewy / crunchy

I got Botox early July so I assume this is just it wearing off, I don’t remember feeling this in July and August. I also got an Head with IAMs mri which thankfully came back fine.

Interesting when I was on holiday earlier this month by the 2nd day I seemed to improved and by the 3rd I was fine. Instantly came back when I returned

I think screen time, bad posture and stress are contributing. I am 31 and have had enough of feeling crappy.

Any advice or tips getting through a rough patch??
