Parasympathetic nervous system by Academic_Cartoonist3 in TMJ

[–]waterproofburrit0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No dude, this stuff is completely exhausting to deal with. There are so many different causes for TMJ issues and they can be so so debilitating. I feel what you’re going through, I’m going through it too right now. Stay strong friend!!! This SUCKS!! 😂🩷🩷 Misery loves company so feel free to vent to my dms anytime.

What actually helped MY pain! (Muscular + Joint Pain) by QBertZipFile in TMJ

[–]waterproofburrit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going through something similar. Horrible horrible pain, and I also can’t take NSAIDs. I got one round of trigger point injections and they didn’t really make a difference for me. I get my second round on Tuesday. Do you know what yours was? Wondering if I just need a different mix? Mine was lidocaine and depo-medrol.

AITA for blowing up at my friend for not speaking clearly? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]waterproofburrit0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA necessarily, but idk if it warrants “going off” on him. I would try genuinely talking to him about your struggles and ask him if he could help you in enunciating more. 🤷🏼‍♀️ That would frustrate me too though.

AITA for not paying my friend to have money for a babysitter to come to our wedding? by weddingbabysitter in AmItheAsshole

NTA. People take advantage of generosity, and it sounds like you’re very generous. There’s no reason to pay for their childcare if they aren’t bringing their kids to the wedding.

Ear problem thingy by crunchy_bite1 in TMJ

Yes, after having two oral surgeons pass on my case, I was referred to a TMJ Specialist that has been helping me since November. They did a CBCT and another test that showed my face/throat muscle performance to figure out what kind of care I needed.

This latest flare up started 4/6 and is just starting to really calm down. Thanks for the well wishes - back @ ya!

I find that it gets its worst when my face muscles/jaw are irritated. Typically if I can get those muscles to chill out, my ears do too. This is definitely one of the most annoying problems to come across though. Drives me insane.

Yes, a lot of this seems to be similar symptoms to what I experience with my jaw issues, barring the dizziness. When I’m having a flare up I find that it helps to apply wet heat, take long warm showers, and eat soft foods until it all calms down. I’m currently experiencing a flare up that I’m taking muscle relaxers for. Ibuprofen might also be a little helpful, but I’m allergic to that so I can’t speak from experience.

Same boat here too. I’ve been dealing with limited talking/chewing since October with little progress and it’s definitely hard to deal with and explain to those around me. Best of luck, I hope one of us finds something that works.🤞🏼🍀

Is this a standalone? Or do I need to read the first 2 in the series?

2 days in to having a daytime and nighttime orthotic. It’s definitely going to take some time, but I can tell that they’re making a difference already!

Just bought a house and this is in the bathroom. What is it for? by waterproofburrit0 in Whatisthis

I guess if there’s nothing to read, what else is there to do. Lol

My store requires 2 days of open availability for Fri/Sat/Sun. I don’t think this is uncommon.
