My supervisor got sick and called in, but didn’t call me, so I ended up at Relay to work my shift this morning – fart. I called her to make sure this was actually true and ended up waking her up… guilt trip for me… and now we are going to try to meet [...]

My orthodontist appointment is at 740a and it has been raining all night. The busses shouldn’t be late, so I’m not panicing yet… I am just biting on my brackets AGAIN, have jaw pain, and my teeth are overly sensitive. Even my hygenist was concerned. I really want a new powerchain [...]

I slept most of the day. I sleep when I’m in pain – it is my healthiest coping mechanism. I do, however, feel as though I wasted my whole day.
My medical insurance has left things complicated for me in terms of getting necessary treatment for my RSD. The doc who [...]
Uncomfortable and random

I went to a Celebrate Recovery meeting tonight. I actually liked it! They do things differently from the previous group I attended, but just being there and working through the questions and talking about stuff with the principles in place — well, it felt good. It felt right and it reminded me [...]

HEAD
- TMJ/ TMD
- possible trigeminal nerve pain
- maybe RSD?
- can’t get into my ortho until Monday afternoon, unless someone cancels today
- severe pain in head, neck, face, jaw, ear, shoulders… on left side (nerve pain)
- braces might be the cause, not sure, but will rule braces out FIRST
HEART
- friendships
- my thoughts
- self problems… confidence, esteem, [...]

I put on my bathing suit last night and went out to the pool. It was barely daylight and the pool was empty. It was really hard to do… harder than I imagined. I kept on feeling like I needed to throw up.
Someone upstairs had their door open, so it [...]
New elastics…

Okay, today was my THIRD emergency appointment in the last 2 weeks! They changed my elastic config and gave me stronger ones too — I now have double triangles (not doubled over, just 2 triangles) on my left side and a box on my right side.
This was probably the first visit where I noticed [...]
