So, here I am, not sick with anything to worry about, but I feel lousy and just needed to let it out. In three weeks I will stop my bcp's and then three weeks later get my hormones tested. A suggestion by my gyn. good thing too because I think I am overriding them. For the last two months I have been spotting on and off, starting right after my yearly checkup. I have cramps on and off, my boobs seem to grow and shrink daily, they hurt when they get bigger too.

I have the worst tmj I have ever had, ever. It is so awful I could just cry. It's really arthritis of the jaw and eating is miserable, sleeping even worse. Both ears hurt when I lay down and the pain travels to the cheeks and down to the neck. It goes around the ear and the temples too. It is a living nightmare at this point and I am at my wits end. I have no dental insurance, so treatment is out of the question. I have tried to get my medical to pay, but they wont. I am out of work and hope to see a light at the end of that tunnel soon and start working more. I feel like I have a ball of phlegm in my throat, my sinuses are draining so much.

I am so sorry to go on and on, I just needed some support. I will be fine, I will get up and go, exercise, do what Ihave to, but it is not easy. I know I am very lucky it is nothing serious, but it is all very annoying.

Thanks so much for hearing me whine and complain. I needed to just get it off my chest.

Hey enough, you go right ahead and whine & complaint, I'll listen to you. I have had those kinda of days alot lately too. I get the tmj some too. Boy does that hurt. Sometimes it just helps to get it out. I did the same thing last week, couldnt take it anymore, but I feel better after hearing back from the others that I'm not alone in all this crap.

HUGS

DAISY

Sorry that you are feeling lousy. I can relate to the tmj my jaw has been clicking all weekend and today

((hugs))

Thank you both, it's always good hear from others. I am sorry though, that youhave this too, it is awful. I think sinuses could be making it worse too, whatever it is, I know I am tired of it.

Hope your day was good.

The tmj can and does affect your sinuses! I know from experience. After a few adjustments from my chiropractor, I seem to be a bit better in that department.


However, I know my hormones are out of whack and I'm feeling ornery, cranky, irritable and I'm snapping at everyone. I feel irritated down below like I have a yeast infection or something and my IBS symptoms have reared their ugly head again!!!

When will I ever be normal???? When????

Hi enough,
I'm sorry I don't have a solution for you but I wanted to tell you I'll pray for you to get some relief soon. I've been feeling pretty lousy myself of late so I know how it feels to be like this for days/weeks/months... It's no way to live that's for sure. All we can do sometimes is be there for each other and take the support and prayers of others when we need it. Just know that right now you have my support and my prayers. Feel free to "whine and complain" whenever you need to. You know that we are all here suffering from something and know how it is.
(((((((((((((enough))))))))))))))

Enough,

I am sorry you are feeling so crappy! It is never fun to suffer from pain, it interferes in all aspects of our lives. And on top of that, if you aren't getting good sleep, that adds to it as well. And then throw in some hormonal imbalance to really rock the boat, you just end up being a sea sick MESS!!! Even if it is nothing serious, which that goodness it isn't, that doesn't really take away the fact that your quality of life is suffering.

You sound almost guilty that you are complaining, because you aren't suffering enough???? It is OK to complain!! You don't feel well and that isn't any fun at ALL!!! Definitely count your blessings, but at the same time, don't torture yourself for feeling crappy! Give yourself permission to not be happy about not feeling your best.

Maybe a visit to the chiro would help, as Booky suggested??

Get well, my friend.

Hugs

Good morning and thank you all. I have tried the chiro but it didn't seem to do much for the jaw at all. I also have to pay $20 for each visit and they want me there at least once a week, I can't do that right now, until work starts coming in. I do think sinuses are adding to it, i am stuffed up and a little sneezy ! I was up for a few hours during the night too which makes me even more tired, but that I can handle. Floater I see you were up as well. I hope you are ok too.

Yes, I do feel guilty complaining when it's not a serious thing, I always feel like so many people are dealing with such bad things, I have nerve to complain, but some days I just have to.

I hope you all have a pain free and happy day.
