No biting for me, only soup

[schneefink]

I'm on vacation this week!
I also have terrible jaw pain and I have no idea why. It was slightly annoying last week, it got extremely annoying on Saturday to the point where I had trouble sleeping, it was a bit better yesterday and I had hopes that would continue but it's bad again today and I shouldn't take more painkillers for another two hours. I missed the chance to go to my GP today because I had a therapy appointment (in hindsight I should have cancelled because I bet talking so much was not great) and tomorrow she only opens in the afternoon. I forgot how much being in pain distracts from everything, especially a kind of pain I'm less used to than, say, period cramps. I haaaate it.
Fingers crossed it's nothing serious and it'll be better soon.

Thanks! It's better today - at least as long as I don't move my jaw for any reason, like talking, or eating ^^

I'm so sorry :( I hope it improves soonest.

[schneefink]

So do I... thanks!

Oh I am so sorry!

Putting what helps for me behind a cut because ain't nobody needs to see unrequested have-you-tried-yogas. But it's there if you want it.

Expand me if you are interested, ignore me if you are not

With me it turned out I grind my teeth at night and the only reason I found out about it is that my dentist got annoyed I kept splitting my crowns. He made me a mouth guard which I loathe, but when it starts happening again I sleep in the mouth guard and it does fix the problem.

No matter what I hope you feel better. 😢

Thanks!
My mom suggested the same, but I suspect that if that was a problem I probably would have found out about it sooner?, especially since this wasn't even in the top 10 of most stressful weeks in the past 52. Ah well, we'll see what the doctor says.

Yeah, I try to tell myself that at least I'm not sitting in the office in pain, but it also sucks to be in pain during vacation :(

Ugh, what awful timing! :( I hope it improves soon.

[schneefink]

What's the rule that the timing of such things always sucks? :(
Thanks.
