Stress and a really awesome review...

[sophisgotagun]

Guess what! School has me so stressed out that I'm giving myself TMJ. I've been waking up every morning at 4am barely able to move my jaw, so I've been taking two Advil and falling asleep again on an icepack for about three mornings now. Luckily I fall right back to sleep, but it's still irritating and it hurts kind of through-out the day. I have

I told you you were betalicious.

[sophisgotagun]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Remind me again.

She's right, you know. You must be betalicious. You even have your own fangurl. :D

[sophisgotagun]

Yeah, 'cause she's the only person crazy enough to be one, ;)

Oh, that's lovely. Editors need flowers and showers of praise too! And 12K words in a day is...nothing short of miraculous, really. That's...50?...pages? Urk.

What is TMJ? I somehow suspect that it does not stand for "Tense Muscles in Jaw." But I hope it gets better. Would taking advil or some such before you go to bed help?

TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint (which would, er, be your jaw), but when someone says TMJ, they generally mean the syndrome, as in temporomandibular joint syndrome. The advil might help me get through the night, but it wouldn't stop me from grinding my teeth, which is pretty much dislocating my jaw. I actually had it lock the other day -- that wasn't fun.

My mom and aunt have it. They wear bite guards to bed.

Where are you? I'd like to talk at someone. ;D

Ooh, that wink is good :D
