would u guys still love me if i said i had the most crippling orbit sweet mint gum addiction this world has ever seen

[andrewminyardslawyer]

I need Jean to discover things that will help his chronic pain. Compression gloves for joint pain and circulation. Ring splints for finger pain especially when he's writing and typing for school work. Epsom salt baths when he's able to be in water. Cold gel packs for migraines. Heating pad on his neck and shoulders. KT tape on his knees. A mouth guard at night to help with TMJ issues because you know he clenches his teeth bad enough to damage his teeth and jaw. A freezer roller ball to use on tight muscles. Just Jean learning to take care of his body, that's it's ok to use things that ease the pain, he doesn't have to push through it all the time

Are your scissors dull? Would you like tips regarding sewing needles?

If you're having a difficult time cutting through material, your scissors likely need sharpening. There are two ways I've used for this, and they're both very effective.

The semi-free version:

Take aluminum foil, a long sheet of it, and fold this into about four layers.

Cut through all four layers, in thin strips, with your scissor. I make the strips less than half an inch apart, and cut the long way. You will need to be careful because the edges of the foil will be sharp.

After you get through all four layers at least six to eight times, fold what's left of the sheet in half. This will create eight layers, cut through these until the sheet is gone.

Test your scissors by cutting through scraps. I've made children's scissors sharp enough to cut through four layers of fabric when I use this method.

The inexpensive version.

Purchase this. You can find it in fabric stores, craft stores, and even a department store (like Walmart) in their crafting supply section. I bought mine at Joann Fabrics, when they had a sale, for less than $8.

Scissor sharpeners are super easy to use. Just follow the instructions they come with. Basically, you slide them in, and pull them out like you're cutting.

You won't need to do many passes for most scissors, but you will make children's scissors very dangerous.

For very small scissors, like applique or embroidery types.

Use the semi-free section.

You will only need two layers for the first pass, not nearly as much as you would for larger blades. So make the sheet smaller.

After five or six passes, fold the layers in half for four layers. Make several more passes.

Test your scissors to see how sharp they are. If unsatisfied, make more passes through the foil layers.

I hope this was helpful!

For hand-sewing sharpening needles, the little strawberry attached to the tomato pincushions serves that purpose. Stab your needle through that a few times. I find it works only so many times before I simply need to switch to a new one.

As for machine sewing needles, sharpening them borders on pointless. I suggest using Organ Needles if price is a big issue for you. My experience with Organ Needles has been phenomenal. The low price and high count, and the fact they last just as long as the name brand stuff you find in supply shops is just a bonus.

I have a pack of 100 sewing needles for less than $30. Compare that to the $10-$20 a package of five or ten name brand needle packs cost. Even if half the needles in my 100 pack start dull, it's still less than what I would otherwise pay. Thus far, this hasn't happened.

My needles go dull swiftly when I do any foundation paper piecing, stitching through fabric and paper, and paper dulls scissors* real quick. Imagine how fast that is with a needles, making hundreds of stitch through all those layers. If I notice the stitches look messy, I switch out my needle. I still have over half left, and have been using the same pack for around a year now.

If you're wondering how to dispose of the used sewing needles, may I suggest a plastic bubblegum container? I used to chew gum all the time, but had to stop after my doctor explained it's very bad due to my TMD/TMJ (and having hEDS also explains why large pieces of gum would dislocate my jaw). Because of my habit of keeping perfectly acceptable containers, I had two empty ones. One is used for my handsewing, like a little trash container. Opening and closing the floor models is irritating, and the fact I have a cat means all trashcans in this house must have a lid. Anyway...I use my second to hold used needles, broken or bent pins, and after four years of using this, the thing isn't even a quarter of the way filled. It'll likely be decades before emptying it will be necessary. The hard plastic edges make it impossible for any of the pointy ends from puncturing, thus making it safe for all and no trash bags will suffer.

“nancy needs to be single.” “nancy needs to become a better person.” wrong. nancy needs masseter botox to relieve her tmj and a pack of virginia slims

[flowercrowncrip]

My mom fills socks with rice and heats them up in the microwave.

Needs someone else to do that part but it’s really nice like a hot water bottle but different.

You can also buy pre-made things that have similar functionality that might be easier to use that are either weighted or unweighted.

Small electric heating pad is lovely has buttons I can turn on and off on my own and the size is maybe 1 square foot easier to use. My partner and I each have one in different colors.

Also a fan of those things that go in the freezer like ice packs but they have oorbeez like gel balls inside fun to squish and temperature sensation is fun but you have to be careful with it.

One of my legs and some other parts of my body can’t feel temperature much because of nerve damage etc and i can get hurt if not careful when using so it’s important to be able to push it off onto floor when done with ice pack like item or turn it off if using electric item.

My partner also bought me a vibrating chewy stim toy meant for oral desensitizing because I have sensory issues brushing teeth throw up sometimes because my gag reflex, it might be made by ark therapeutic maybe and I like chewing on it. I have jaw issues like TMJ so I have to be careful not to hurt myself but I often chew through soft rated toys and get pain from hard ones so I like that this toy has a swappable top so I can keep switching on new soft ones to use with the same vibrating base.

When I was little maybe elementary school I did occupational therapy but don’t remember much of it. Do remember being brushed and going into a stretchy sack. Hope that helps.

This is all really helpful thank you!

eden starts her day going to the thrift store to put together some looks to sell on trendi and clear her mind.

her bump looks so small here but there isn’t much time before she gives birth for the first time (i don’t know if there was a glitch or something but her bump didn’t look that big until she was literally in labor) she is still so nervous and feels a little unprepared considering she is still a teen, living on her own.

when it’s finally go time, dorian comes to stay over for a few days to help out. they welcomed their baby boy, odin elmore to the world together at home!

although dorian is focusing on his schooling and seems like he doesn’t want to be apart of eden and the baby’s life, he is so incredibly supportive and want to do everything he can. which is why he in investing into his future career, to support his family.

i just talk about getting a tooth extracted below, i don’t give too much detail but i understand if you want to skip on reading it 💚

i’ve had a crazy last couple of days and only playing off and on so i don’t have the most screenshots for every going on but i hope to catch up with posts to my gameplay soon. today’s activities included going to an oral surgeon and getting a tooth extracted… not fun. i’m glad i took the whole day off work though. i didn’t play as much sims as i would have liked though because a couple hours after getting home i was OUT until my boyfriend got off work. he woke me up so i could take some painkillers and made me some soup 🥹 i am feeling like 70% ok right now which is a lot better than i expected. i have tmj so my jaw hurts more from being open that wide for so long than where the tooth was pulled but i think the numbing has fully worn off by now and im just surviving to each pain med times and with my ice pack lol ive never had a tooth pulled before so i had no idea what to except. didn’t cry though 😎

[boreal-sea]

Basically my tentative/preliminary TMJ diagnosis came with the treatment plan of "yeah that sucks, use a hot pack, take an ibuprofen and don't open your mouth wide anymore"

[godza]

i heart tmj

at least one of us likes it! i wanna blend all my food into smoothies. i keep making myself peanut butter sandwiches which is just a terrible idea. but if i put an ice pack on my face while chewing it feels a bit better

CloverCoin Artpack 2024 March + Updates

[PATREON POST + ART PACK] Hey everyone... I see March is rounding the corner to being over and I realized I never actually make an official patreon post yet. A lot has been happening on our end / IRL. We recently found our we might need to move this summer... But thanks to a lot of back and forth between us and the new landlord we got a lease extension for 1 year to prepare our savings and safely move out to another place in town or around this town we are currently living in. After a lot of discussion between my husband and I, we're really struggling to find rental single family homes that fit our disability needs AND budget. Rent bubble in our area is about 70% more than our current rent which... is mind blowing. But we are determined! With further discussion we think we agree, we'd like to buy a house to make sure our needs are met and that we can take care of our senior dogs without having our lives uprooted without notice. So our belts are going to be really tight over the next year while we try to scrimp and save every penny to go towards our goal to purchase a house next year. That is scary but also so exciting! Wish us luck, we're going to need every lick of it to pull this off. ~~~ Other worse news... The reason why I've been struggling these past few weeks. My family has been reaching out to me and it's official. My mother has a terminal cancer diagnosis. I do not live near her, so I would like to budget a trip out to see her at some point this summer. We don't have any real time lines yet until we see how to reacts to chemo treatment. She's just started that this month. So that's been a weird tangle of emotions and talking with my siblings about what we expect out of all this. How we each can help in what ways we can. One of my older sisters is taking control of talking with the doctors and updating us since my mother is extremely avoidant about talking about her illnesses. At this time I won't be taking any time off from working and doing adopts/commissions. We need the money more than ever, even just to go fly or drive up to see her. But I will update on patreon/discord when I'm taking a week or so off to visit her. ~~~ More middling news? Our two senior dogs, Ollie and Junior, have been having little health scares this year. Feels like 2024 just started and so much has happened! Ollie has been diagnosed with a heart murmur and is on medication now to help treat it. Diet and life style changes as well to help him stay fit. Junior may have had a small seizure or stroke, for 2 days he was not able to stand or walk which really scared us. Both have been to the vet multiple times this year and are being watched VERY closely. I just hope nothing happens to them before we find them a new house to live in. (knocks on wood) ~~~ I myself am having some medical issues but... Just with everything going on I just haven't had time to assign myself with a new clinic and new gp. My new health insurance won't let me see the old one anymore and it's EXTREMELY disruptive to my whole life. So there's a chance my body might get a flat tire in the future, but I'll try to manage it accordingly. To end it all on a good note, I did finally finish my very last tooth filling / replacement and after a year and a half of constant dentist visits, my mouth is all fixed! Hooray!!!! Now we just have to tackle my jaw and TMJ problems haha. ~~~ I think... that's the big items of what's going on. Why I've been really absent online and for updates. Life just kinda had a weird downpour on us, but we're sorting it out. We signed a new lease. Prov is working very hard at his new job. The future is really scary for me right now and I'm really struggling. Please be patient with me while we go through these big life changes at this time. I'll be opening up new commission slots soon to start a monthly income to help with house savings. If anyone has pending commissions with me or trades, please never hesitate to DM me/poke me for updates. I've been a lot more disorganized more than usual lately and I am happy to give any updates or refunds as needed should anything come up that I can't handle. Sorry bout the long read everyone, but thank you so much for skimming through and keeping up with what's going on in my life. I've been desperately missing art more and more every day I spend away from it, so I look forward to sharing even more art with you all! Thank yo everyone for all your support! AJD . ART

honey i’m so sorry that’s happening. i was going through the same thing a while ago. it’s okay if none of those things work. just “taking a bath” doesn’t work with depression. some meds didn’t work for me either. it’s important to remember that meds don’t work for a lot of people. it’s okay to try new ones and switch them. i tried like three different ones and dosages before finding one that worked for me. it takes time to heal and im sure these people reminding you of your problems don’t make you feel any better. it’s okay to feel upset. i probably can’t make you feel different about yourself but i can say i’ve gone through that. so many people have and you are not alone. it’s very very hard to believe but it does get better. i’m sure you’ve heard that millions of times before, but it does.

as for the nicotine, it’s hard to get off that kind of stuff. habits are hard to break. i understand that. i was the same with sh. i don’t have much experience with that kind of addiction, but i can recommend nicotine gum and patches.

one thing that helped me when i felt like i was going to do something was remind myself how many people would miss me. how my dog would stand by the window wondering where i went because she didn’t understand. how my parents and friends would mourn me and miss me.

it’s okay to reach out for help and you’ve done so much already by getting a therapist. it’s okay to switch therapists. i had to go through about four before i found my right one.

you are doing amazing by letting these feelings out and it’s okay to feel this way. so many people care about you. i know it’s hard to believe but it will get better. it may take days, months, years, but it will. i know it’s frustrating and i know none of this might help but i want you to know there are people like you out there who are going through this.

additionally, you should add the suicide hotline to your phone, i did it and it’s a good emergency plan. one thing you can also try on tumblr is kokobot, it’s anonymous and it’s a whole bot about venting.

you’ve got this love. stay strong<33

Ive been on so many meds im not qualified to get weed legally in the uk i lost count of how many ive been thru and these ones do good.. but they dont always work and my drs just keep upping my dosage im on 350 quitiapine and 150 sertraline along with 100mgs of instant activate quitiapine and honestly if it werent for my bf and the animals i wouldve dipped a long time ago but ik no one will look after them as well as i do

Unfortunately im allergic to nicotine patches and i cant actually have chewing hum due to my tmj i tried the spray but it instantly made me throw yp everytime i tried it so i packed it in and it was our first day i felt shitty bc we went straight into my trauma (first person ive ever told what actually happened) so i was dealing w that after along w flashbacks shes rlly sweet though and was really kind to me it was just a heavy session

And funnily enough i have tried two hotlines and both hung up on me so that was gucci mane 💃 but thank you i really appreciate it and i hope you have a great day

[isa-ah]

hii!! im a dental assistant, i just wanted to advise privately that they probably will not be able to do treatment the same day BUT you can at least call and request a short appointment for an antibiotic if you have no already been rx'd one, or need a different type. go ahead and advise that you have difficulty opening your mouth; if its a molar they may rx a muscle relaxant dependent on med hx and it seems tmj related. pain can cause tmj flareups, but massages to the jaw and temples in the shower with warm water can help tremendously, as well as alternating with a heat pack and a cold pack- additionally, if you're able to take tylenol and ibuprofen, you can rotate those interchangeably ( ex take max dose tylenol, take max dose ibuprofen if/when pain persists ). the general rule of thumb is 100mg = 1 hour until the next dose ( ex 800mg = 8 hours later ).

sorry if this is repeated or unwarranted advice!! i just know its very painful. what youre experiencing is very real, and the financial struggle is unfortunately not uncommon. if youre comfortable posting this and have any questions, ill keep my eye out for it. hang in there :(

thank you for the advice 😭 I'm gunna go ahead and get in the shower to try to massage it. my husband's making some mild soup so I can eat smtn before I take any pain killers, but they haven't been doing.. anything... so far so maybe this time will be different 🤞

I'm pretty sure there's no prying me open to get the tooth out tomorrow unless there's a miracle so antibiotics and maybe a muscle relaxer it is 😭

The Role of Physiotherapy in TMJ Disorder

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause significant pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. While there are various treatment options available, physiotherapy has emerged as a valuable approach to managing TMJ disorders. In Pune, individuals dealing with TMJ issues can find relief and support from qualified physiotherapists who specialize in treating this condition.

Understanding TMJ Disorder:

TMJ disorder refers to a range of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. Symptoms may include jaw pain, difficulty chewing or opening the mouth, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and facial discomfort. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in addressing these symptoms by focusing on pain reduction, improving jaw function, and promoting overall well-being.

The Role of Physiotherapy:

Physiotherapy offers a holistic and non-invasive approach to treating TMJ disorder. A physiotherapist in Pune will begin by conducting a comprehensive evaluation to understand the underlying causes and assess the severity of your condition. They will then develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Treatment Techniques:

Physiotherapy for TMJ disorder utilizes various techniques that aim to reduce pain, improve jaw mobility, and restore normal function. These may include:

1. Jaw exercises: The physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles around the jaw joint, promoting improved jaw movement and reducing muscle tension.

2. Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation, can help increase joint mobility, alleviate pain, and release muscle tension.

3. Heat or cold therapy: The application of heat or cold packs to the jaw area can reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm.

4. Ultrasound therapy: Ultrasound waves can penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting healing, improving blood flow, and reducing pain and inflammation.

5. Electrical stimulation: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) involves the use of low-level electrical currents to relieve pain and relax muscles.

6. Posture correction: Correcting poor posture can alleviate strain on the jaw joint. Physiotherapists in Pune can provide guidance on proper head and neck alignment and ergonomic modifications.

7. Education and self-care: Physiotherapists will educate you about proper jaw mechanics, relaxation techniques, and self-care strategies, empowering you to manage your TMJ symptoms effectively.

Finding Relief:

If you're experiencing TMJ disorder, seeking the expertise of a qualified physiotherapist is essential. Look for physiotherapy clinics or practitioners who specialize in TMJ disorders. They will have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, helping you find relief and regain a pain-free quality of life.
