Ask anything you like on here and like as not someone will have done it before you. Make hay while the sun is shining my friend. 😁😀😜✌️xx

I have a thing called a PEG fitted. A tube is inserted into my stomach and I syringe or pump high cal liquid feed directly into my tummy. Plus coffee, drugs and booze! 😁😀😜✌️xx

Oh, I see. My sister-in-law had one while getting over surgery for throat cancer.

I am stopping at my brother's for a couple of days this coming weekend so probably a fair bit of booze will be ingested.

Recently I have noticed I am biting my cheek in mouth whilst sleeping.Not sure if I need to get some kind of teeth guard fit night.
Currently using bonjela to soothe it.
Anyone else got this problem ?

I do this all the time when eating, even when I’m being super careful! Also biting my tongue, which is even worse

I had that problem until I lost a back tooth

Find a dental hospital near by and get it for free. If you're lucky you get a student. Best extraction of my life! 😁🤗🐧😍xx

All too common an issue Mary 😩

I definitely recommend a dentist-made mouthguard for your upper teeth - they are worth the money.

You will have an impression of your teeth taken, which involves biting down on a 'putty' type material for a very short period, but it's not unpleasant.

I wear mine only in bed and, if I have sore inner cheeks, like you, I use Bonjela.

Another thing for your To Do list, I'm afraid. xx

Me too biting cheeks and lips but not while sleeping. And when I sneeze tongue gets stuck in gaps between teeth. OWW! Also use Bonjela. I was in the process of having an implant when diagnosed so abandoned it to avoid most of the cost. Big mistake! Seeing dentist next week about mouthguard.
