Perhaps you are clenching you jaw at night and that is the source of the headaches during the day? Then the next question is, what is causing you to clench or grind your teeth at night?

Regarding chloride. You can find this in something like Trace Mineral Drops or in a product like magnesium chloride or potassium chloride. I'm not encouraging you to go out and buy more supplements though. I'm not an expert on electrolytes, but seem to recall reading once upon a time that an individual can get enough chloride through the use of regular table salt or sea salt (preferable) as these are sodium chloride. One can also obtain enough electrolytes through homemade mineral broth.

When I was on LDN, I was 100% wheat free and 100% potato free, but had not given up things like rice, millet, legumes, or corn chips (with starchy hummus or peanut butter). No, I did not exercise mainly since rigorous movement would cause an attack of facial pain or a breeze (if outdoors) would set off an attack.

Yes, exercise does boost natural endorphin production. I recall, shortly after it was suggested that the source of my back pain and stiffness was related to AS, we were working a project in Chicago. We worked mandatory 12 hour shifts which would conveniently and routinely morph into 14 hour shifts. I would return to the hotel at my day's end and go work out for 30-45 minutes which would allow me to actually go out for some eats and socialization for a few hours each evening. When we hit the next site in Detroit that summer, I wasn't exercising. Upon completion of my 12 hour shift, that was it. I went home (that was home base at the time) and called it a day. The regular daily exercise made a HUGE difference for me. Must have been those endorphins.
