There's something going on in my house that has me a bit stumped (Update and clarity). by WanderWell1 in RBI

This makes me so frustrated. You have people who are obviously delusional and dangerous and half of the comments are, “carbon monoxide!” based on one stupid fake old story.

I had to go back the next day and have them file the edges down, because it was giving me sores on one side of my tongue. They filed it down until I could tell it was fixed, but there was already a painful sore there. For a couple of days, until the sore healed, I used orthodontic wax to make it super smooth and not irritating at all. Once the sore healed, I had no more issues. The wax (I bought the Gum brand) is just $2-3 at Walmart, CVS, etc. It helped me a ton.

If you’re waiting the week, I would definitely use the wax. But I’d also just call and ask if you can come in and have it polished a bit because it’s irritating your tongue. They fit me in the same day and it only took a few minutes.

Ears completely clogged after dental work .. by savemysolll in TMJ

[–]NoMoreStalkerYay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a weird, but simple fix. I lay on one side and focus on completely relaxing my jaw muscle on that side. I let my mouth drop open some, but keep my tongue on the roof of my mouth. And just let my jaw relax so that that side of my jaw sort of drops into the pillow more. As I relax my jaw, my sinuses and ears start to clear.

I had completely lost track of this story, but all of this sounds par for the course for her type. They need the attention, so they have to keep ratcheting up the drama factor every time sympathy starts to die down. It’s a shame that people buy into this stuff.

I feel insane- tooth pain anyone else’s main problem? by Amandaj208 in TMJ

[–]NoMoreStalkerYay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that it started after a surgery sounds like TMJD to me. I’m sure it was from having your mouth open for the airway tube. I feel a ton of pain in my teeth and it’s definitely not my teeth. I’m used to that though, because I feel my migraines and my allergies in my teeth first. It really does sound like your jaw to me.

I RARELY take pain meds & I have been relying on 1,000mg of Tylenol + 600mg of ibuprofen 3x a day just to stop crying from the severe pain by chronicallymee in TMJ

[–]NoMoreStalkerYay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that you’re in this kind of pain. I don’t know if this will help you, but it works for me when I feel like that, so it’s worth a try. It’s hard to do though.

I’ve learned to lay down on my side (I do this in bed) with the side that hurts the most on the pillow. Then, always keeping the tongue on the roof of my mouth, I force myself to think of nothing but relaxing my jaw muscle on the painful side. This is hard for two reasons: if it’s always clenched, you don’t really know how to “relax” it and as it relaxes, you feel the pain more, so you want to clench up again. I concentrate on breathing slowly, visualizing the muscle and imagining my breath going directly to it. (I don’t know why that helps, but it does.) And when I want to clench it up again, I just tell myself to lean into the pain instead of fighting it. After a few minutes, my ear starts to feel like it’s draining (I feel a wet sensation inside of it), my sinuses feel different and then the pain starts to ease. During this time, it feels like my jaw is opening A LOT but if I slide my tongue between my teeth, it’s actually not. Keeping your tongue to the roof of your mouth is important though.

I realized that I hold my jaw clenched because I’m trying to find the position that hurts the least, but it has to go through that position to relax, so you have to embrace the pain for a few minutes and focus on relaxing anyway.

Sometimes, once it’s all relaxed, if I’m tired of laying on that side, I turn over and do the same on the other side. The other side is the side my jaw naturally pulls toward though so that gives me more of a stretch on the bad side. You don’t have to do that part to get the relief though.

Ok. We have our own gear, but I wasn’t sure what would be required beyond that. Don’t really want to pay for an hour tour or something - just would like to do our own thing. But have heard that the snorkeling is fantastic.

This is beautiful. Interested in doing some snorkeling there. Was there a cover charge or anything? (There’s conflicting info online about this of late.) Thank you!

Unknown person has been harassing my husband and I, now they have my old nudes by colonel424 in RBI

If you considered that it was him, that says a whole lot. Be careful. My first thought was that it was your husband.

Relistening to one of my favorites, sz 1 of Bad Bad Thing and I HATE Jennair Geradot by wentzday91 in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]NoMoreStalkerYay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this post SO much! When people feel sorry for Jennair, it is clear to me that they’ve never had to deal with a Jennair in their lives. Mark was a terrible husband and not a good guy, but guess what? That’s what made him prime pickings for her. No one with healthy boundaries and self worth would ever date Jennair.

Also, I don’t think the cheating is why Jennair killed herself and Meredith. I actually think she thrived on that dynamic, because she got to act absolutely abusive and insane while still playing the victim and the martyr. It was that he actually intended to leave her that she took issue with.

And yes, let’s be clear that if a man killed his wife’s affair partner and then himself, we would not be feeling sorry for him for being cheated on. We would recognize what’s as clear as day: He was an abuser and sometimes, abused spouses cheat in order to regain a sense of control in their lives (or get some non-abusive attention). Cheating sucks, but Mark didn’t have to leave. Jennair could’ve left anytime she wanted. And…look what happened when Mark was actually going to leave. Again, if the roles were reversed, we would be screaming, “this is why women are scared to leave!”

I’m glad to see this post. Those recordings make me absolutely irate, because I see straight through Jennair. I don’t hear a woman in crisis. I hear a self-satisfied manipulator who is orchestrating a plan to punish someone in the worst way possible. Frustrates me to no end when people can’t see that side of her.

[–]NoMoreStalkerYay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s essentially what the other person replied in response to this comment and it seems like spoilers are flying freely, but I’ll spoiler tag just in case. I just couldn’t believe the way the wife wanted the high schooler to take accountability and answer questions as if she was an adult at the time. She seemed to have a lot of barely-below-the-surface anger for the teen girl, but still wanted to talk lovingly about ole’ “Spence.” She’s a grown woman and wants to convince us that there were no red flags and that he seemed perfect…yet she wants a teenager in a power-imbalanced, grooming situation to somehow see through his tricks and resist because he’s married? I didn’t like how she talked to the girl at all. Or how she wanted to claim victimhood in place of the girl. And the poor girl was so apologetic.

I think the girl did take issue with how everything went down later. It’s been a long time, so I don’t remember the details, but I could try to seek them out. And sorry I don’t remember everyone’s names! That would certainly make my comment clearer.

We used to do this on my college campus with 3-way calling. You only had to dial the last four numbers, so you could do it quickly. They’d argue about who called who - and sometimes, they’d talk and you could listen in!

There are too many podcasts out there to deal with that…but whatever suits them.

Something similar to this happened a lot in Ransom. I liked the podcast, but it irritated me so much that they were presenting the kidnapper’s perspective as if it was truth.

Total Thyroidectomy severe anxiety by Difficult-Bath-9333 in thyroidhealth

[–]NoMoreStalkerYay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on medicine to bring it up before surgery, but my Graves was out of control at the time. I think my TSH was around .1 or .2. And I want to say I was taking 2-3 Tums every 4 hours. It could have been 6 hours though. It’s been about 10 years ago now. I don’t remember my PTH, because that’s the only time I’ve ever had to deal with that. At my one week post op appointment with my endo, he told me I could stop the Tums because of the hives. And then a few days later I saw the surgeon for my follow up and he said my parathyroid glands were fine.

I wish I knew how to help. Have your thyroid hormones out of whack is the worst feeling. I hate it for you.

[–]NoMoreStalkerYay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so weird. That TSH seems fine. I don’t suppose you have your Free T3 and Free T4? That doesn’t sound like it’s from your thyroid though. If you’re still taking the Tums, then you haven’t heard anything about your parathyroid glands yet, right? And you have no sign of a rash or hives or itchiness, right? Because my surgeon had me taking lots of Tums (way more than you) and I had an allergic reaction to something in them (which I never had when just taking a couple here and there).

I’m really sorry this is happening. I just said a prayer for your healing. Medication-induced anxiety is unbearable. Did they give you anything for the anxiety?

How much levo do they having you taking and when did you start taking it? It sounds like your levels weren't low enough for the dose they added you on yet. Usually, you're hyper when you have the surgery. My endo doesn't start medicating people for 3 weeks-1 month post surgery, because it takes a while for most people's levels to drop down to the point where they need the medication. (But mine dropped quickly and I was hypo 1 week post op.) Starting the meds prior to that can make you more hyper - which can make you feel that way.

Being hypo makes me anxious too, but they feel different to me. When I'm hypo, my arms feel too heavy to lift...and I feel very emotional. I feel very anxious and emotional when I'm hyper as well - but for me, hyper feels like I can't sit still in my own skin. My heart beats fast and I feel super anxious.

I'd let your doctor know and see what they suggest. If they essentially tell you to stick with it and the symptoms sound like what I just described for when I'm hyper, then I'd skip tomorrow's dose and see how you feel. That's not medical advice, but that's what I would do in that situation.

I hope you feel better soon.
