Thanks for checking I'm hanging in there :) Dealing with a lot of swelling but doing my best to not let it get me down. (for my kids sake) As far as pain goes it is for the most part under control as long as I take Meds Every 4 hours. (Gotta do what ya gotta do.) Looks like last min shopping for me, I fear the stress of the stores LOL How are you doing? Got all your shopping done? My husband and I are the worst we are the last min people everyone hates. I wish I had the time and money to do it sooner But it Is what it is.
I have had a nice surprise that seems to have helped how I feel. See I'm from NE but have lived in FL for 7 years This year to my surprise, my Brother came to Try and make a living here.It will be SO nice to have family around It does wonders for my attitude.
I'm now fearful to take any of my anti-inflammatory pills due to the news today so I'm a little scared The swelling will increase. I read your post sounds to me like you have a Great DR who is ahead of their time. If you even watch the commercials for Aleve they say #1 DR recommended WHAT a crock I'm disturbed that people with pain and problems become Guinea pigs.
Thanks for listening i So need to vent sometimes :)
Take care Thanks for being there

Hey Buff,
Vent away, it does a world of good!
I totally understand not wanting to take the anti-inflammatory pills. What do you take?
I am glad your brother is there with you this year and maybe you will be able to have a wonderful Christmas! Hey, somebody has to be the last minute shoppers. I know what you mean, you can only buy the stuff when you have the time and $$$$.
I have taken several prescription anti-inflammatory meds and it is my experience that they just don't work for tmj. If it is muscular they won't work at all in fact.
Good luck with your shopping!
