Chronic daily pain

Hi everyone,

I have had jaw, chronic head, neck and general face pain for about 30 years. I struggled with the pain, frustration and lack of pain control so much that I had to leave my job as a journalist after more than 20 years.  I'm sad, lonely, depressed, full of anxiety and embarrassed due to loving in content pain .  I have had many night guard/splints. I keep losing them.  I'm getting a new one made now which I will be able to wear all day and night.  But I saw one like mine and it looks the same as a night guard plus it's triple the price. I find it saves my teeth from all the grinding, but it doesnt stop or prevent pain. Theres not much anyone can do for me herr in Newfoundland.
