I hate how this stupid disease affects us the way it does, but you are an amazing woman, wife and mother... don't forget that! <br /><br />You are so great at cheering the rest of us on, don't forget to cheer yourself on from time to time, okay?Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-68631294188867732352009-11-17T16:41:04.194-08:002009-11-17T16:41:04.194-08:00Meri, Meri, Meri I knew you were not writing that ...Meri, Meri, Meri I knew you were not writing that about me but you could have been - that's for sure! I think you are such an inspiration. Seriously, you have so much on your plate with your boys and now the TMJ pain. I think you are amazing. I hope the pain is better soon. I do know how you feel - I had surgery for my TMJ about 15 years ago and it really helped! I had to wear a hideous mouth piece afterwords but it really seemed to help a lot.<br /><br />I pray for relief of your pain and for the strength to handle all that you have to do each day. <br /><br />Hugs to you from Texas!!LaLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278430665049354027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-80551815220753220362009-11-17T13:51:37.393-08:002009-11-17T13:51:37.393-08:00I just had some recent battles with TMJ too, YEP! ...I just had some recent battles with TMJ too, YEP! It sure causes the depressive feelings! Hard to move on with life with all the pain! I'm sorry! I know how you are feeling! No, silly....I didnt think you were writing about ME....okay....maybe a little, LOL!! <br /><br />Unfortunetly I always FEEL like I cast a gloomy cloud...which in my blog of course I do! I dont write to inspire so much anymore, because venting is more what I need at this point in my life :( I hope you start to feel better!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-85100283824098752612009-11-17T13:31:17.079-08:002009-11-17T13:31:17.079-08:00TMJ is not fun.

I wound up relaxing in about an hour, but man was that scary! I'm supposed to wear a "bit" at night to prevent the grinding that causes mine, but it hurt more each morning than not wearing it. (I did however grind a hole in it) My husband will tell me to this day to stop grinding my teeth....and that's during the day! He always says "relax your jaw". I get headaches related to it, and I can not for any reason chew gum for very long. I don't know pain like you're having, but I know major discomfort, and it sucks you have to feel this!<br /><br />In the world of D-life....you are the master! You are allowed to have down days/weeks/months, you handle ALOT! (my D-life is nada compared to yours)<br /><br />This too shall pass.:) Traciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007765987473563241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-16050766277525779892009-11-17T13:22:46.770-08:002009-11-17T13:22:46.770-08:00OH, Meri ...
(((SUPER CYBER HUGS)))
I'm so ...OH, Meri ... <br /> (((SUPER CYBER HUGS)))<br /><br />I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. I will pray for your pain and for your continued strength to do all that you do.<br /><br />I hope you're able to take a breath and enjoy the view. Sometimes our world looks cloudy when there's so much sitting on our shoulders.<br /><br />Jesus can lift that burden...lean on Him and allow yourself the gift of enjoying each moment.<br /><br />(((MORE HUGS)))Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977082081187891403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-74358658959803377042009-11-17T12:19:58.535-08:002009-11-17T12:19:58.535-08:00Thanks Kelly. :)

I've had a really hard week...and ya, I've been pity partying it up. I have been feeling sorry for myself. Not just diabetes wise...I've been in constant, unrelievable pain with my TMJ for a month now, and I'm battling with all my heart the depression that is looming because of it. :(Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-31721883655603178902009-11-17T11:46:54.862-08:002009-11-17T11:46:54.862-08:00VERY nice Meri!

Some days it all just gets to us. It heavies the heart. That doesnt mean we pity our life! Keep on writing....you are awesome!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.com
