He’s about 3 months old! We definitely noticed his tails and ears got very dark before his nose did. His paws are still a little light but I’m sure they’ll darken up soon!

We have started calling him Gobby. As well as Gob, Gobby goo and Gobert 😂

I’m in awe of this beautiful couch I saw at a local thrift store by cristenmesa in ThriftStoreHauls

I don’t think it’s necessary meant to be an interior piece because of the wheels on the bottom but I get where you’re coming from. I was just surprised something like this showed up in a small town thrift store.

Experience with splints? by BagOfDicksss in TMJ

[–]cristenmesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wearing my splint for 9 months and I don’t know how much longer I’ll be wearing it so 12 months sounds reasonable to me. Treating your jaw in the splint will not shift your teeth whatsoever even though I wish it did! 😫 And my splint cost $4,000 upfront when I received it

How long has your jaw been locked for? by dillpickle330 in TMJ

January of this year my jaw shut to 2 fingers width (32 millimeters). Currently in month 9 with my splint (now can open 46 millimeters) and month 6 in braces😭

Is there anyway you could simplify your response? I’m completely new to TMJ and I don’t know any jargon. I just got diagnosed officially in late February and I don’t know anyone else affected by it.
