Although, this weekend I'm not sure how I'm accomplishing anything, much less getting to the bank. Things that are on my list? Kids stuff, friend stuff, pick up race stuff, run 5K, birthday party stuff, and oh yeah... breathe. I just don't know how to balance it all, deal with the logistics of distance and not let anyone down or feel guilty about how I spend my time. This on top of having to prep for more work travel next week is causing a lot of tension headaches and jaw pain.

Dealing with all this has left me with more roller coaster dreams (see Joker for reference). Only this time, I was trying to climb the track outside of any train car, and then somehow found myself magically in the train car of the ride as it went careening towards the ground. At least this time, I kept all hands and feet inside the ride.
Oh yeah, get those suckers yanked! They do no good. Is the jaw pain related to the wisdom teeth, or is it more like TMJ pain? Are you clenching when you're stressed? Mine got so severe that I have to take a muscle relaxant at bedtime so I don't clench all night. Has really helped a lot!
ReplyDeleteJaw pain is all tension from clenching/grinding during times of stress and in my sleep. I have a non custom bite guard to wear at bedtime but it kinda makes me gag...
ReplyDeleteDon't know how you feel about taking a medicine but Tizanidine or Flexeril (low dose) at bedtime helps a lot!
