So I just found out/concluded that I have TMJ. You know, the thing where you grind your teeth at night. Oh, so thats why I have headaches everyday and immense pain in my jaw and teeth area! So basically I have to wear a mouth guard at night which is really sexy. My mom now has reason for "I told you so's". If I would have got braces, like she said, and looked like a dork for a couple years this would not be happening. Mom's are always right.
So it is a constant battle trying not to grind my teeth like even during the day. I guess I just never realized that I did it. I guess this is my punishment for having basically perfect health my whole life. Oh and the whole headache thing. Being with 2 million 2 year olds a day doesn't reall help. I've just gotta get a years supply of IB profen and I'll be fine. (Kristal, don't let Jason read that.)
Alot of complaining on this blog as of late. Sorry. I love my life.

Hey, just pop out a couple kids and your headaches will go away.
Thats when the true headaches begin, beleive me, I have PERFECT (am I right Dani?) children and they still give me headaches, ulcers, wrinkles, cellulite, muffin top, grey hairs and other unmentionables.
I TOLD YOU TO GET BRACES, MISS SELF CONFIDENT WITHOUT PERFECT BRACE TEETH!
Now come home and let us rub your feet and head and jaw.
Love,
MOM
What is a muffin top??
I can fit back into my jeans, but theres a roll that goes over the top, just like muffins. Everything in my life has some hidden food meaning
I have TMJ too. the doctor told me that forever ago but told me not toc call it that becuase people will laugh at me becuase i guess its a joke or something.... I still don't know what he was talking about....
Um, have an eleven pounder naturally and other parts will hurt soo badly you will never notice your headaches again!!!
Thanks mom. I knew I should have listened to you.
Ha ha Jenna, do you wear a mouth guard at night as well? We should start a club.
And kris, I think ill just stick with the headaches.
Wearing a mouth guard at night is a good idea. It will definitely help a lot in relieving your headache's and joint pain. And BTW, you're right: mouth guards at night are really sexy! LOL!
I completely relate to your struggle with TMJ. It's frustrating to deal with such a common problem, especially when it affects our daily life. The mouthguard at night can definitely be a challenge, but it's worth it in the long run to protect your teeth and jaw. I hope the ibuprofen helps with the headaches and pain. Hang in there!
