So, your step father is a dentist, and he didn't suggest a dental appliance? I'm kinda surprised, actually I'd say appalled? My appliance pretty much gave me back my ability to eat normally! I still have my days where my jaw and face hurt like you-know-what, but I can tell you I'm at least 85% better!!! PM me if you want more info. Just because there isn't a cure for TMJ doesn't mean there aren't ways to make it a LOT better! You shouldn't have to live with unbearable levels of pain. We've been taught as a society that it's ok to live with pain, and IMHO, that's crap. I'm appalled that people think it's ok to live with this and deal with that! Bull, I say. Fix it, deal with it, search for more answers. Don't take NO for an answer. Find someone else who'll do something else for you! *hugs* sweetie! Jen Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.
I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help.
I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days. |
