Another TMJ Update From Me

[April_Rose]

So @JohnDB, @historyb, @Michie,.. I had my first fillings today and I'm not as numb as I thought I would be. (Although drinking water is currently tough and I'm glad I ate lunch before my appointment lol) The current mouth guard that I have isn't doing enough for me I'm afraid. My jaw keeps making popping and I have ear pain, ringing, and dizziness almost every day again.




The really good news is that my dentist doesn't want me to put up with all of this longer than I have to so since I could only have the right side of my mouth be filled today, next Thursday I will be getting the left side filled in and have my custom made mouth guard filled and hopefully be a lot better then. :)

Thanks for the update April. Hopefully, when all the work is done you’ll find some relief. Prayers for you in the meantime.

Sounds like things are improving for you. PTL! I'll keep praying.

Thanks! I'm feeling less numb now but I'm currently a little bit sore in the right side of my mouth due to all of the work they did so I was using the left side of my mouth to eat a snack earlier. I'm having dumplings for dinner and so that food will be nice and soft for me to eat. :)

I'm actually somewhat surprised that they don't have something like this for real, but not really because I would never participate in this either. @JohnDB, do you remember me showing you this before?

I'll look later...

Hey, I didn't know that you were a Pirate's fan. (Now I have to play this as you leave me no choice. XD)

It was a fun little series of movies.

But nothing is go crazy over...

And besides... Johnny Depp is out of work and unemployable at the moment.
