I have not written in a long time. I thought I was doing better/ feeling better..... But things have a way of coming back I guess. I was really upset to have to increase my trigeminal neuralgia medication. I was so so so sure that once beach season hit I would be free of the face pain. Nice warm sun... nice dark tan.... how can my face possible hurt in those conditions? So my tegretol is up to 200 mg twice a day. Hoping not to have to increase it again.
The TMD is just as bad. Who the hell knows which is which anymore. The friggin insurance company sucks. my mother just gave me 800.00 so I can go get my bite splint made. I need to do something.
I find that complaining only makes things worse. so I am not going to use this journal as a place to moan and groan. or if I do, it will be a quick vent! and then on with the good stuff.
No progress with the goal. My weight is fine- happy with body (for the most part)- but still find myself eating crap when I am not hungry.
So, otherwise things are good. and tomorrow I will post something positive- positive energy is all good:)

HI Jill, sorry your going through this crap. You would think that the jaw and face pain isnt real the way doctors and insurance companies act. And the frustration, anxiety and depression just trying to have the pain taken as real and valid, is enough to go nuts. and then the cycle just continues. argh
