Hi Cheryl,

Oh gosh, sorry to hear you had to go through so much dental work today. Ouch! I agree with you on the waiting till things hurt to get them done just to avoid the pain afterwards from the TMJD problems. I hope you feel better soon!

That was so nice of the dentist to give Mike another NTI to get him through until he gets the new splint. I hope Mike's headaches improve some after tonight when he start wearing it again.

My teeth are so off Cheryl and it is starting to really bother me. Some of my bottom teeth are starting to hurt from the way they are being hit by the top ones. I am trying really hard all day not to let my teeth touch together. I find myself closing them together to check how the bite feels sometimes. I know I am making things worse doing that though so I am trying really hard not to do it. Thank goodness I am still taking the 1/2 flexeril or I know my muscles in my face would be hurting along with this. I did wake up with a headache this morning but it wore off by this afternoon luckily. I am not sure if I will make it till my appt. on the 11th. If it is still bothering me so much next week I am going to call over to the dentist and see if they can squeeze me in to check things out. I do not know why my teeth shifted so much but I think it started that weekend I tried to stop the flexeril. I know I had two nights in a row where I had trouble falling asleep and did a number clenching too. I don't know why it isn't going back to where is was since then. I was thinking if I took a whole flexeril maybe it would help things to relax more and they would improve again, but I don't want to run out before my appt on the 11th.

Well, I better get going to bed here. Emily is still up too. I think she may be starting on a sinus infection to top it off. She hasn't had one for 2 months and I was just saying to my Mom the other day that it is a record for her. But she usually goes all summer without one. Hoping she is okay for the weekend. I will talk to you tomorrow. Oh and thanks for that info. on the irritable bowel thing. I had read that somewhere about the coconut macaroons too. I never tried them though. The caltrate has worked wonders for me with this. I kinda figured the magnesium would make me run all day so I doubt I will ever try it. Take care, Michelle

PS. Haven't used the oven the last 2 nights. Only the stove so dinner was okay. We are trying to wait till Christmas time when Mike gets all his tips from his paper route customers to get a new one. I just hope it lasts that long and I don't burn too many dinners.
