TMJ
For those of you who have been asking, I went to the doctor who diagnosed me with having TMJ. In other words, my jaw is messed up :) I have to go to the dentist later this month, but in the meantime he gave me some medicine that helps with the stiffness...basically a glorified version of ibuprofen. It feels a million times better, though not normal.

Just in case you haven't looked it up yet (which is probably unlikely.) I have a friend at church with TMJ and she has problems if she chews gum, amoung other things. I hope that the dentist/docs find what works to keep you out of pain as much as possible. I know sometimes pain is necessary, but when it isn't I wish it would just go away (said with best Oscar the Grouch voice)!! LOL
Take care,
Melanie
