Title: Re: Triggers Post by badfly on Aug 19th, 2003, 9:07am Alcohol is a definate no no for me. Garenteed to give me at least a kip 8 or worse when I'm in cycle. Outta cycle I can drink like a fish and only get a mild hangover from hard tac like tequilla, vodka or straw rum. |

Title: Re: Triggers Post by cantstanditanymore on Aug 19th, 2003, 9:43pm Hi I am new to this site. It is really quite informative. THANK YOU! Has anyone thought of how they hold their jaw? Sounds crazy but....I think when I relax or tense up ..I am not quite sure which... i seem to be clenching my jaw, and when I am consious of it and try to relax and deep breath like yoga, It really helps. I am not sure if it is pain control or something to do with the jaw. Anyone?????? |
