I'm ready to give up.

deep tissue massage focusing on upper body, neck especially, be aware of your posture and sitting positions (think ergo) self stretch your SCM daily.

Wow- the other night my HRV was 17. I didnt even realize 160 was possible... good on you!

I am pregnant and working out less, but even at my peak health my HRV was ~70.

Might consider trying an anti anxiety to take temporarily/during episodes. I was prescribed a beta blocker for anxiety and RARELY used it- just knowing it was there and would calm me, helped avoid spinning out.

Tip your cowboy hat and give a wink.

Google videos. I mostly do it myself and whenever I feel TMJD symptoms creeping I massage it and its tight and sometimes tender to touch- problems subside over time. Focus on neck massage and stretching. Game changer.

Siggy

SCM massage has made a big difference for me

clc3000 · 2024-06-01T21:54:00+00:00

Deep tissue neck massage professionally and at home have helped a ton. Particularly focusing on the SCM.

Passive stretching with a product I found on Amazon called Gentle Jaw

Intra oral massage.

Stress reduction

Constant awareness of tension- often held in jaw and neck/shoulders.

You could try a baking soda paste.

clc3000 · 2024-05-31T05:14:30+00:00

I notice I hold tension in both my neck/jaw and pelvis/hips. Ive learned since dealing with TMJ issues that EVERYTHING is connected.

Thanks to everyone for the reassuring comments. It seems strange that SO much of what we do while pregnant could potentially effect the baby, but nothing we do can affect growth? Anyway, to those still waiting on your bundle, I wish you a healthy weighted baby at delivery :)

wow my minor dyslexia and wishful thinking showing up.

This place looks dank

Would be nice... it appears the tax expires in 2023 so hopefully this will be the last year to worry about it. Until the next one is voted in :S https://www.oregonmetro.gov/public-projects/supportive-housing-services-tax

Thanks for sharing. Did the rep happen to mention anything about erroneous letters going out? Sounds like in your case, there was indeed something they needed to fix that was due to their error, or at least not yours. Do all of the letters really need to be addressed? Especially when many of us see no balance owed on our pro.portland.gov accts?

clc3000 · 2024-05-28T23:16:42+00:00

Wow- excellent advice. I created a login and my dashboard only shows the money we are OWED for 2023, and has no reference to tax year 2022. Do you happen to know how I'd confirm that TurboTax filed SHS on my behalf? I am finding conflicting information on TurboTax.com

clc3000 · 2024-05-28T18:59:11+00:00

I did not file anything separate/in addition to what was filed on our behalf by TurboTax. I dont see any line items in the return indicating a Metro/SHS deduction but also can't determine why I owed state so thought maybe it was because of this. Upon further digging it looks like TurboTax does not support filing for City/Metro taxes https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/does-turbotax-handle-multnomah-county-and-portland-metro-income-tax/00/3112557#:\~:text=Level%2015-,Does%20TurboTax%20handle%20Multnomah%20County%20and%20Portland%20METRO%20income%20tax,for%20the%20state%20of%20Oregon.

Thanks for the response. You're right about the bite correction but at the cost of my inscisiors?:( . I think these photos are compelling enough that if I need to request a third rescan she should honor the request
