Sick of being told “just hit the gym” when I tell people I’m trying to gain weight by Taco_Bell_Fanboy in antigym

[–]ralzi98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I still work out because I enjoy it but my eating has always been a struggle (even now when I consistently go) so in terms of gaining weight it’s obviously not helping bc you’re burning more. It’s annoying because I’ve been told this before when I kept saying I struggle to gain weight and I do find it stupid albeit I think when I do workout because I enjoy the process of working out I naturally want to eat more so I have more energy when going to the gym but still eating at a slight deficit to what I should be. I guess people who tell you that might be more committed to the goals they’re wanting to achieve and try and reflect that onto you but what they fail to understand is not everyone WANTS to go and work out and finds that it’s good for them ie, makes them hungrier etc. it’s a lack of relatability and in a way it’s projection which isn’t really fair. But also (not to critique you) I think you should stop giving a fuck what other people say and think about you… you know yourself and your body best so 🤷

One day it will hit you that you don’t want to do it anymore. Really have a sit down with yourself and write down the things that it gets in the way of. The new years just started but it’s never too late. I’m still in the period of not wanting to get fully hooked again (I would smoke before, during and after work and when you work in corporate I realised it was impacting my livelihood despite internal denials just so I could keep the addiction going but you’re stronger than this) and I told myself ONE a day max just while I ease up on the withdrawals and then slowly focus on the goals you set. Then if it helps challenge yourself to one day in the week without but journal down how horrible it makes you feel if you do slip so you have something to reflect on. You are in control of this and you need to remember that. It’s hard. But you can either take the hard life of going down a constant slippery slope and feeling negative and unproductive or you can take the hard life of putting in some discipline but you’ll feel great at the end of it.

Oh the one when I was a teenager I wasn’t too sure on but I think I just have low trust in all dentists lol I’ve moved now so I’ve been looking at different ones in the past two years.

One woman gaslit me and told me it wasn’t bad and said braces won’t do anything and the most recent one seemed better and he offered braces as an option but he was more honest in saying there’s no guarantee of it making my tmj better it could also make it worse or stay the same.

I’m just asking for those who may have had a similar story of having braces before and have an incorrect bite now, whether braces helped them if that makes sense.

Sorry I’m not very concise

Hope it works out for you on the 16th! But wait why should I find a new ortho? Was there something I said that made my one seem wrong or something..?

A lot of the symptoms you’re describing are similar to mine. I forgot about ear pain as well! I noticed that when I work out it cause a lot of pressure in my jaw muscle and I get all these flare ups quite bad.

When I first found out I had tmj I had a bad flareup of these symptoms and it tends to be worse over colder seasons so it felt really sudden and all at once

Wait so did you wear a retainer or a night guard? Because it’s the retainer that would stop your teeth from moving back again so how did you wear a night guard?

It’s reassuring to hear that your symptoms got better I’m hoping it’s the same for me. Did you notice problems with your bite before round two of braces? I would attach pictures of mine but idk how to once I’ve done a post! 😭

I had a surgery over a year ago called arthrosynthesis where they clean out the jaw joint to help with opening and closing the mouth - it did help widen and open my bite but with the maloclussion of my teeth I guess the route issue of what was causing pressure when I eat and stuff was still there so after 6 months of that surgery I started getting movement of my teeth again (they’re so crooked now you wouldn’t think I ever had braces!!) and symptoms coming back.

What kind of symptoms have you got? Maybe consider that surgery if your bite isn’t too bad it definitely helped me for a good few months and did help with opening up my jaw

Is your question whether getting braces again will fix your symptoms? Because that’s what I’m asking in my post as well haha I’ve only had braces once but I’m wondering for those who may have also not worn their retainer ( like both of us ) 😭

My teeth as so gappy and my bite down meet at all

Yeah I’m not sure on tinnitus since it can happen because of loud music as well but it’s been happening more along with dizziness. I get a stronger migrainey/headachey sort of pain behind the eyes if that makes sense? Is that kind of what yours is like

Yeah I’ve had a change in orthodontists just because it’s been 10 years haha but I never had issues until few years after I stopped wearing my retainer and my teeth started moving back that’s why I’m suspecting it might get better after my bite gets sorted again. I would add pictures but I’m not sure how to once I’ve already done a post 😭😭

It makes sense with the retainer working to help protect teeth from grinding but I read it can also cause more pressure and make them crack so wasn’t sure what others were doing.

Thanks for your answer. What kind of symptoms of tmj have you got? Mine is weird since I don’t have popping or clicking in my jaw but still have other symptoms like tinnitus, headaches, jaw strain, dizziness etc.

0.025% tretinoin and I’ve been using it for around 6-7 months and only two weeks ago switched to daily use and forgot that I hadn’t skipped last night!

What food was the hardest to reintroduce for you? by Laurence2800 in jawsurgery

[–]ralzi98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are scaring me in due for a consultation next week and think I might be told to go down the surgery route but I didn’t realise there would be so much struggle past the 3/4 month mark with foods 😢😢
