I've suffered since the age of 21, but the attacks are less frequent these days (I'm 35). I do not take any painkillers for it, even OTC. I have tried 6 or 7 "professionally-made" mouth guards, some of which cost thousands. None of them helped and would actually make it harder to sleep at night. I instead deal with it by using heat, massage (full body is key), exercise, and nutrition. For the record, I am also blown away by how incompetent the medical and dental professions are at treating this. Tap your teeth on a piece of paper? Puh-leeze, that does nothing when your joints or muscles shift at different times of the day, and maybe 1 in 5 dentists actually know how to properly account for that based on my experience dealing with them over the years. And swear to god, if I hear another licensed and credentialed dentist describe my joint hypermobility as "your jaw is weird", I'm going to shit a brick.
