Title: Facial - tension, twitches, & jaw clenching
Post by dannyb on Sep 7th, 2017 at 4:27am
Hi guys,

I'm a newbie here but have had my fair share of cluster headaches (periodic and chronic) for approximately 25 years. It's been a nightmare to say the least.

I've always had facial twitches (eye-squinting, jaw-clenching, and every other kind of nervous twitch from chin to forehead). Most of my twitching has never been visible to anyone else so I could possibly refer to them as minor facial tics, or a level of invisible facial tension.

A few years ago I accidentally discovered a strong link between my facial tics and these horrible headaches.
I found that once I got these tics under control, there was no more accumulated stress in my face, and my headaches disappeared completely.

It seemed too good to be true as I'd tried every treatment imaginable. So I tested my theory and found that after bringing back enough facial stress over a prolonged period of time, these beastly headaches returned. I then reversed the process and have been headache-free ever since.

Does anyone else out there have facial tics or any other type of facial tension similar to what I've described above?

Regards

Danny

It makes sense.  Both conditions effecting nerves, so there could well be a connection.  I'm glad you've found something that works for you.
Nothing like that for me though.

DannyB,

There's sufficient medical evidence to suggest facial tics and CH are caused in part by vitamin D3 and magnesium deficiencies. Replete these two deficiencies and both conditions become non-problems.

After 6 years of research and reports from over 600 CHers, the best way to do this is by starting the anti-inflammatory regimen at the following link:

Hi danny...welcome!

Interesting thought. I've been a clencher/grinder since even before CH...all my teeth are flat...have to use a night guard at night.

Never found any connection to CH tho....continued to grind in or OUT of cycle. Tis an interesting "tell" tho re fatigue and pain.....even if I try to ignore or "deal with" either...I know it's a lost cause when I taste metal....cuz that means I'm grinding the hell out of my fillings...even the gold ones have a "flavor"...........

Best

Jon
