#Tmj What Is It

[anthonycrowley]

it sucks sometimes when you have chronic pain in some way and you go online like is there anything i can do and the internet is like sure you can spend a whole bunch of money on a procedure to fix it so you’re like :/ but then ten years go by and it gets way worse so you’re like fine i really should fix that and then you do and your pain and all of your problems go away in like. a day.

Oh joyous day, day that @walternitram fully claims the role of midwife,

We shall begin our work soon.

@the-cal-zone is watching the crowd like a shark hawk, making sure they do not avert their gaze;

@walternitram provides cheeky moral support, a friendly face hiding the knowledge of what to come...

I will conduct the interview, feigning ignorance to what is occurring, but ultimately steering the conversation towards the ultimate next step (aka Eggst Step), where @the-muppet-joker will reveal his eggs to the crowd, and begin his joker rage, mupping them with his fanged hole in order to get blood and nutrients for his brood, like a demented horse fly, biting through the crowds hides as though they were nothing but unsuspecting equine.

update on my tmj treatment

hey everyone! so yesterday i got my guard for tmj and thanks to all the ppl who donated i got the other half left to pay for it covered and paid it yesterday when i got my guard, and it's only been one day wearing it and i can already open my mouth a bit more and the pain has decreased i just can't believe it! thank you so so so much to everyone who's donated, i'm so grateful for all of you and i appreciate all of you so much ❤️❤️ i'll leave some pics below of my dental guard and one of me using it (surprise face reveal lmao), and unfortunately there's still quite a bit to go for my braces so pls help me either by boosting or donating 🙏🏻❤️

sometimes I'm like wow why do I feel like I just can't do things that other people seem to be able to do easily. then I remember the Conditions

[friendraichu]

might be just me being paranoid or a series of coincidences but it seems like the entire left side of my body is fucked up.

occipital neuralgia? almost exclusively runs up the left side of my head

left eye more nearsighted than right

TMJ seems like it might be worse on the left side (difficult to tell)

i have overarching neck and back pain, but left shoulder blade is more frequently in pain than right

left hip some sort of fucked up, probably related to my left L5 vertebrae being fused to my pelvis

all this to say, maybe i just tend to put more pressure on the left side of my body?? idk if one of these things instigated the rest or if it's all just happenstance, but it's fuckin weird and also im so tired of being in pain.

i made my dentist appointment 😩

[pocketgalaxies]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ricecaqes]

the new development is i lay down and theres a 40% chance that my jaw locks up

[muppetjokernumbertwofan]

Have you considered mating with the ants instead of killing them?

Absolutely not. I’d rather be fed leg-first through a wood chipper.

I think that dentist who accosted that girl working at a drive thru talking about "can I fix your smile" is actually evil. that is someone at their job. I wouldn't be jumping up and down pissing myself excited either if some rude asshole said some shit like that to me. people with gaps or discoloration or missing teeth or crooked teeth are always the butt of the fucking joke anyway and people are more than just opportunities for "content" like some lame ass before and after of bad veneers. like he probably embarrassed her bad as fuck and just has absolutely zero awareness of that or how mean it is to point a camera in someone's face and say that. I hate how warped social media has made people's brains in what fucking world is it ever appropriate to do that to someone? leave people alone

[maulsoleum]

yknow i love being a decaying dog i really do but satan below i would love it if just didn't hurt so bad.

like c'mon i'm already dead do i have to feel the way the fibrocartilaginous parts of my jaw snap as it rots off?

[kohakhearts]

not to be Hashtag serious about anything because that goes against my principles but this was the first year since i was 18 that i didn’t take antidepressants at all and the first time since i was 16 that i didn’t attend regular therapy (or at least Think i Needed to attend regular therapy) and yeah i wouldnt say i had a Good mental health year but. But. thats a big step for me actually and one i am very pleased with. go me

I've been wearing my mouth guard more consistently and that has been helping. It's not perfect, but it's helpful. Also one paracetamol in the morning. For some reason the paracetamol tends to help more than ibuprofen.

I remember reading this thing as a kid that was like “it’s as easy to bite through a human finger as a carrot, your mind just won’t let you do it”, and I was instantly like. That’s absolute bullshit. I’m 10 and I know that’s not true. Watch me prove it by attempting to bite my own fingers off. And guess what? It fucking hurt. But I still have all my fingers. Anyways, I’m stressed because of my math course rn and I was stuck on a particularly nasty set of problems, and I kept thinking “just fucking bite off your fingers and it will all go away”. And I wish I could
