Q: When you can, try to keep your jaw in a relaxed position by opening your mouth just enough so that your teeth don’t touch. This can relieve some of the pressure on the jaw that commonly causes clicking.  If you notice yourself clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth, open your mouth slightly to stop creating excess pressure. If you wake up with pain in your jaw or teeth, then you may grind your teeth at night. Talk to your doctor about getting a mouth guard that you can wear while you sleep. You can also buy a mouth guard over-the-counter, which can be shaped to your mouth. Tight muscles around the jawline can contribute to clicking and cause pain around your mouth. Place your forefingers on any sore areas, press down gently, and move your fingers in small circular motions until you feel the muscles relax.  Repeat the massaging motions with your mouth open and closed to help relax all of your jawline muscles.  You can also use a clean finger to massage the inside of your mouth with the same techniques if you feel muscle tightness in that area. Clicking can be made worse when your jaw is inflamed. Taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as naproxen or ibuprofen can help control pain and swelling, which in turn can reduce jaw clicking. TMJ doesn’t require any special dosage for NSAIDs. Just take them as directed on the medicine package or as otherwise directed by your doctor. Calcium and magnesium can work together to promote muscle relaxation. Dissolve powdered magnesium and calcium together in water, juice, or your coffee each morning to help reduce jaw clicking.  If you can’t find the powdered version of these minerals, you can take capsule supplements. The powdered minerals are more readily absorbed by the body, though. Always talk to your doctor before you start a new supplement. They can help you check for any potential drug interactions or other risks and side effects based on your personal medical history.
A: Relax your jaw by opening your mouth slightly. Massage your jaw to relieve muscle tightness. Take an over-the-counter pain medication. Take 500 mg of calcium and 250 mg of magnesium every day.

Article: You aren’t completely hopeless if you can’t afford to live on your own. Now more than ever, people are living with roommates to afford rent. Consider this option carefully, however; trying to find a roommate will split the cost of rent and utilities in half, but it can add a lot of stress as well. Consider a few key issues before searching for a roommate:  Would you be comfortable sharing a room or an apartment? Are you expecting your roommate to be your best friend? Do you feel comfortable having someone around your personal belongings? How clean are you? Are you loud? How clean and loud would you want your roommate to be? Sharing a room with a brother, sister, or cousin is great training for life with a roommate. If you are close with one of your siblings, you may want to move out together. Make sure you trust one another to pay the bills on time. There are many ways to find roommates, whether it is through mutual friends or social media sites, but once you found someone who wants to live in the same area as you and is financially stable, talk to them in person. Some questions you should ask are:  How clean are you?  When do you go to bed, and how often do you have company? Do you have any pets, and will a significant other be living with you? Can you pay all bills on time? See if these questions influence your decision to live with the potential roommate. Your lifestyles should be mostly similar. Conflict is bound to happen when living with others. What matters is how you deal with it. Pretending to not be bothered by your roommate’s behavior will lead to frustration, but constant bickering is stressful. If you need to confront your roommate, choose your words carefully so your roommate does not feel attacked.  “I feel frustrated when you don’t wash the dishes because the room smells” is better than “You’re a slob.” Focus on the behavior, not the person. Confront problems as they arise, not when you are frustrated and overwhelmed. If your roommate confronts you, remember that they are trying to improve your relationship. Listen and reflect on what your roommate tells you.
