i think i might be having a reoccurence of that nasty nerve problem in my jaw that I had about a year ago. i woke up this morning and my jaw was hurting in the same way it was last year, however not as severe. The pain dissipated a little bit, but it hurt a little while i was eating. Its in dull ache mode right now and I am hoping that it goes away ( Read more... )

crap. my jaw hurts today. i think i was clenching my teeth in my sleep -- not a good sign. clenching my teeth was what caused my jaw pain in the first place. at least i have a mobile army of painkillers at my disposal ( Read more... )

Well yesterday I felt really effed up all day. Didn't take any percocet or tegretol until 4am this morning. I think I must have slept 90% of the weekend away. I'm still tired. After I got home from my doctor and the CVS I feel asleep until now. I go to see the neurologist tomorrow. They'll probably send me for some tests (MRI - Cat Scan type stuff ( Read more... )

I finally feel asleep around 6:30 this morning. Woke up at 8am when the alarm went off - took a bath and fell back to sleep until 11:30 when I realized I was an hour and a half late for work at that point in time. I swung by work and did what I needed to for the day. Then I went to class and the excruciating pain began again about an hour into ( Read more... )

goddamn my jaw has been going into massive spasms all night. ive barely slept the pain is so intense. even the percocet isn't helping. i dont know how long this is going to last.

I just got back from the dentist, who said there is nothing wrong with my teeth, but wants me to see a TMJ specialist. I have to go pick up a nightguard because I probably am clenching and grinding my teeth in my sleep. Stress is a big factor with TMJ, which I sort of figured because my jaw has hurt worse when I have been more stressed out. He said ( Read more... )

fucking hell. i hate the world. my jaw is killing me which I finally made a dentists appointment for. I was going to have my bridgework done which I thought would be covered and it is however I still have a $600 co-payment which I can't afford right now seeing as I still have to pay $880 on my car. fucking shit I just want to cry right now i am so ( Read more... )

You know since most normal people work during the week -- why don't most doctors/dentists offices have hours that would accomodate that. I need to get bridgework done, which takes multiple visits, nevermind that I am a horrid dental patient. I don't have the effing time and dont want to waster vacation time for it. so it looks like i will have to ( Read more... )

My jaw is killing me for some reason because I keep clenching my teeth ( Read more... )

I stayed home today to rest up and detox a bit from all the percocet that I have been taking this week. I haven't taken anything for pain in over 12 hours now, which is a good sign ( Read more... )
