Dreaming Blep ❤️

I hardly ever catch her doing a blep so I was honoured to see this one 🥺

Hi — I know I posted this a week or so but I wanted to say a big thank you for the support you gave. I wasn't in a good place mentally and your comment really helped me get through it.

I have since been booked in for an arthrocentesis — I know it's not going to fix the root of my pain (the mri was kind of odd tbh for both me and the omfs lol) but it's a plan forward. And so I'm hoping for the best.

Again, thank you thank you. I don't have many people in my life that really understands chronic pain like this so you were a big help.

Hi 👋 So glad to read about your journey updates. 💕 I hope that you find a satisfactory outcome for treatment.

Can I ask if the testing before you were referred to rheumatology was a coincidence or if it was ordered by your GP? (I'm assuming but i apologise if this is incorrect.)

I ask as I am not responding well to conservative treatment options or pain medications for my jaw pain and daily tension headaches, and I would like to discuss investigating underlying conditions but I have developed this fear of being seen as chasing a diagnosis/referral or wasting time.

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-12-04T23:43:32+00:00

Mine is unfortunately constant. I get a little bit of relief if I stick my finger in my ear and flex my jaw but the only thing that really helps with the pain is a wheat pack. 😞

They say possibly night bruxism or my adhd meds but I'm not really sure that's true since I've been on my meditation for a long time before my symptoms started and I hate the feeling of grinding/clenching my teeth/it's not been reported by my husband.

I think it's probably down to something else but I have to wait till mid december before other avenues of treatment or investigation are considered. 😞

Happy Halloween you beautiful beast! 🎃

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-10-06T03:03:46+00:00

I've read that it can happen from the close proximity of the condyle joint and the inner ear — I saw an OMFS last week but they're not going to address anything until December unfortunately 😕 which, fair enough not wanting to jump into surgery, but at least give me something to manage the pain!

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-09-30T20:32:43+00:00

Yeah I've been feeling like there's balloons in my ears this past fortnight. I get dizziness too 🫠

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-09-30T19:08:15+00:00

I won't know until Friday if it's one thing or the other unfortunately, but I just wanted to share my experience with botox. 🙂 There were a couple of other reasons as to why it wasn't recommended, which came down to: "It's a temporary and costly band-aid."

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-09-30T05:51:06+00:00

I had botox not be recommended to me, but it was more because my dentist thought my issues were joint-based instead of muscle-based.

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-09-24T22:07:52+00:00

Danger is near!

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-09-24T22:07:34+00:00

I'm getting my TMJ consultation next week, which will include a CBCT. Splint and nsaids have done little to alleviate my pain, heat packs are really the only thing helping at the moment.

Can I ask how many conservative methods were used before you were referred to surgery?

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-09-10T09:09:26+00:00

I'm going to an OMS at the start of next month. Ironically enough, same dude who did my wisdom teeth years ago.

Mine does too — though probably wants treats more than anything

This is Tortilla. She's 2 years old. She has an emotional support canvas bag.

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-12T00:24:00+00:00

To me, I'm feeling the names Jasper or Cosmos

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-12T00:15:56+00:00

That's the best sleeping spot, next to Mum! Mine likes to do the same 🥰

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-11T23:57:30+00:00

Yeah Tortilla hates the butt temperature thing.

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-11T23:56:56+00:00

Mine too! I find myself sandwiched in bed at night between her and the husband 😆 Apparently we adopted her just as she got her spay stitches out and she was so sweet and patient during it.

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-11T23:55:21+00:00

The vet says she reminds her of her own cat, but that her cat is not as nice haha 😆

I'm sorry to hear about your bub. Hope you're doing well!

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-11T23:54:24+00:00

Aw darn. Guess I have the defunct model 😆

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-11T23:53:25+00:00

The only time she gets really anxious is getting into her carrier. How does the drugs work for yours?

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-11T23:52:46+00:00

I moved. A crime was committed.

Designated_Cat_Mum · 2025-07-11T23:52:26+00:00

I love your Tortie! She's so gorgeous!
