Sucks tho...carrots and celery are hard to eat too :(
I just realized that when I had the Sebring, I was pretty much completely uninterested in doing things to it, but with the GP, I do all kinds of unnecessary crap lol. Like I'll start taking something apart just because. I'll keep wondering "okay what's next" and I end up working on it for hours... Odd.
yes, apparently i have tmj. haven't really seen a specialist. but my orthodontist said to leave it alone until it causes me pain, as treating it might make it cause pain. so yeah idk. it pops really loud, sounds like i have dentures or something.Quote:

Headaches and the pain are awful. I had to get prescription pain killers to help.
One side pops, the other grinds.
Specialist isn't very happy with my jaw. But the only way to correct the tissue damage is surgery, and I guess its so bad that he isn't even sure that it'll correct it.
And, I don't get lock jaw yet... lol
dental woes? why oh why, i think i spent less on a trans and install vs a tooth extraction yesterday. my whole face blew up like a chipmunk. now i have a drain in my gums and a hole in my jaw.
also lost 6 or 7 lbs in the last few days due to loss of appetite.
on the bright side i got lots of extra Vicodin and Tramadol <<<<<<< which rule! no side affect's! just pain removal!
good thing i dont drink anymore so these little pills dont get in the way this weekend.
Hope you start feeling better soon!
Tramadol is awesome! I had a bad reaction to Vicodin so they switched me to that, ahh :)
And I know what your saying about the $$. My mouth piece and the treatment sessions came up to $3,000 :(
yeah the itching and scratching and sweating,,,i can do with out!Quote:

I still had some vics left so I took one. Thirty minutes later, my back was still in agony and I took another. Two vics, lots of vodka, and no effects.
i agree with the not helping with the pain much, but they do f me up good, i snorted 1/2 a bag a heroin back in the day the smallest line you ever saw, and that's the only thing i can compare the high with. i dont like either one lolQuote:

Some good experiences with it though. I remember the one time after taking Tramacet, I was attending a math analysis lecture and I swear I could foreshawdow every word the instructor was teaching.

Oh wait....Vicodin also has 325mg of APAP. Liver transplant much?
So oxys for my headaches are a bad idea?
lol yeah. ive yet to experience any extreme pain from the tmj jaw popping thing.
but with the kidney stones i did get a nice scrip of lortab. and those do work on me, knocks the pain out nicely. used it for the kidneys and then when i had my braces tightened i would take one here and there.
never had the tramadol though. but ill keep that in mind. plus i have to get my 2 wisdom teeth removed within the next year or two (i only have 2...not 4. guess i wont get all my wisdom?)
I didn't know that Cobalt SS/TC come with Brembos stock.
do you have an x ray to confirm this one, as sometimes they are impacted in the jaw bone, just because they don't pop up don't mean their not there.Quote:

I had 5 wisdom teeth, but I'm not any smarter.
And....
I don't have my brights on while driving people, so stop flashing me.
kthx
i personally do not have the x-rays, but when i got my braces off they took x-rays and he told me i only had 2 wisdom teeth in my head and they should be in by age 20 and i need to see a dentist.Quote:

I started drinking at a younger age. I had some tests ran when I was attempting to join the military when I was 19. The doctors all told me I was above normal health.Quote:

Happy New Year all! :)
i want a twix candy bar :)
I just finished one HAHAQuote:
