name the symptoms you have been having

x-post - jaw thing sounds like TMJ

I have been grinding the hell out of my teeth. :-( I bought a mouth guard today but don't I'll be able to keep it in through the night.

TMJ?

Dull, aching pain in the face
Earache
Headache
Jaw pain or tenderness of the jaw
Reduced ability to open or close the mouth

iltmj

i also have it tbh

-split lip (when this happened i dunno but it's made smiling rather painful the last few days.. all the chapstick in the world not helping!!!)

keep yourself hydrated son

split lips are the worst

I have a grumbly belly

i have a rotten attitude.

ME TOO!!!!

(attitude & belly tbh)

TMJ has been a PITA since a childhood accident IMHO...

took a closer look in the mirror (with right eye)

<3

when I yawn I have trouble closing my mouth again without popping my jaw back into place. sometimes I'm afraid I'll be unable to close my mouth and I'll have to walk around wiht my mouth open forever.

^this

I used to get that trouble, and also my jaw would get stuck closed and I'd have to punch myself in the jaw to unlock it. Now it's not so bad, although it does go "pop" while eating food that requires a lot of chewing. I've never had it checked out by a doctor, buy it might be worth doing, particularly if you grind your teeth in your sleep (I used to - was a hyper stressed and angry teenager).

man you all are MESSED. UP.

Hey, it's because of people like us that you'll have a job!

sharp stomach pain, not relieved by toilet breaks.

sore toes

I have a grumbly belly

my nose has a very sore spot at the top of it next to my eye. this is likely caused by getting a pint glass to the face when a dance move turned for the worse

a very strong but dull burning pain in my calf muscle, like right next to the bone when i roll over while i sleep. bad enough to wake me up. i got an extremely bad bruise on my calf like 3 weeks ago skiing.

there should be a dance move called "turn for the worse"

lol

where you just kinda spin recklessly with your arms all the way out and knock shit

kind of like my move the "buki pin", if u remember this (heather) from childhood

'The dancing that summer was of the feet-standing-still-variety, with the arms thrashing about wildly, and you had to watch out you didn't accidentally smash someone in the balls.'

thinking it would look kinda like 2:04

i do remember the buki pin, emily. lol @ that.

haha i struggled w/ how 2 spell it

ears spontaneously bleeding for a minute or so at a time + 168/113 blood pressure + 52 bpm heart rate. my body is trying to murder me iirc.

uh, sunny?

still alive

i'm concerned

like actually

i saw my OB today where I found out the latter two symptoms. he wanted to give me meds which i refused and then told me to keep on checking my bp. me: 'so what will the numbers be when its time to panic about this" him: "uh these are the numbers". lolz .

yeah. well. what can you do?

oh sunny we love you take the meds

i would get this checked out in case of a blood clot, someone i know hurt his leg recently and it still didn't feel right a couple of weeks later and it turned out he's got 19 blood clots in his leg, so it's a new worry of mine.

did he suggest a diagnosis?

xp to sunny

me: 'so what will the numbers be when its time to panic about this" him: "uh these are the numbers". lolz .

ob and estela otm

168 is, uh, v v high

estela thanks, i actually have been contemplating doing this, but here's why i havent (aside from not wanting to go on blood thinners):

in 2001 i had basically identical symptoms in my upper leg following a really severe blow to my thigh muscle. went to the doc after a couple of weeks, he shrugged and ordered an mri. i went to do mri, but tech told me the instrux were for an mri of my knee, so i cancelled it, since that wouldn't even image the area i was experiencing the pain in. w/in a couple of days i did a hard cyclocross race. when i woke up the next morning i had a huge visible bruise just above the outside of my knee and everything felt normal again. yknow, my doc did not seem to really believe my story. so here i am.

Sunny, you better not have posted for 9 hours because you were AT THE HOSPITAL.

amazingly in the past 9 hours i have come down with shingles. i gather i have some rotten times ahead. luckily i was suspicious and went straight to the doctor and got medicine, apparently the quicker you take it the better.

not to make light of your predicament estela but now I realize that shingles is what that one dude at the gym must have had. god I'm bringing a bleached towel the next time I go!

shingles isn't contagious, i don't think?!

also: my sympathy is with you, estela - both my little sis and my mum got in within a few months of each and it was pretty painful for both of them. but apparently catching it quickly is def the way to lessen its impact.

Aww E, I hope you recover quickly!
Laurel, I'm all alive and at stupid work as usual. I didn't fess up to the doc about the ear thing. Last time I complained about something they took my ability to create life away and, as you guys well know, that's really the only thing I like to do. It was like my superpower. So I learned my lesson - my lips are zipped. Actually before I complained about the other thing I had always had very low blood pressure. I think they broke me in more ways than one.

sunny, you have stage 2 hypertension (there is no stage 3), and you are bleeding spontaneously from the ears, and you're not mentioning the latter to your physician because...? genuinely curious over here

uh i think i said above

thought you were joking, tbh?
