Unexplained jaw pain
Comments (8)Hi Jenn, Are you sure you don't grind your teeth? I do something weird with my mouth at night. I have my mouth closed, but yet I am pushing down real hard with the front of my mandible......which causes the TM joint to be squished for long periods of time. Maybe that's happening to you? I have fibromyalgia, and have learned that every day, there's going to be a "pain du jour"! Sometimes it hurts so bad, I'm sure it's something serious. But I've learned just to take some tylenol, and wait for it to go away, and most of the time it does. But it is important to consider what riverrat said too. I will probably die of a heart attack, because I've been through the mill with funky pains in my face, jaw, neck, arms, chest, etc., and it's never my heart! So I'll probably ignore "the big one". hahaha Also....I am learning that the mouth, especially the maxilla (the upper part of the mouth) is chocked full of tons of nerves that travel here and there....(especially the sinuses), and can give all sorts of unexplainable pains. I don't know about you, but I seem to have a mouth that will always be the center of pain for me. Good luck with this, and I hope your pain goes away soon. Try to baby it for a few days, and see if it goes away....See Moreneed suggestions for soft foods for supper tonight
Comments (26)wow, you guys are awesome. I ended up with a broccoli cheese soup last night = thanks for suggesting it. Woodie, that potato cheese soup looks great, too. I hadn't seen that one yet. I saved it. Jessica, I missed your post yesterday...tell you DS he has company...ugh. lasagna soup is a new one for me! Do you have a recipe? trsinc, great suggestions - I will use the FP to help smooth out some tuna salad! Ellen, I don't know if I've even had risotto! This is the perfect time to try it - I'll look for some today. tricia, I'll pass on your condolences :-) I certainly remember what you went through - I can't imagine. Thanks for the great suggestions. OK, Grace, has Will gotten to you? loads of ice cream - that sounds like a suggestion coming right from him! LOL. Sharon, I have saved that soup recipe - thank you! I would be all over it if the broccoli cheese from last night wasn't very similar. I will wait a few days or so! oh Bri, 8 years? You're the second person in the past 2 days to mention that length of time...ugh. youre menu sounds pretty similar to what we've come up with. I'll grab some canned soup today - so that at least DH and I can eat something normal while he has soup... I'll bet you have a beatiful smile now! Thanks everyone.

Comments (25)I did watch. Kate was so sure she was gone, all I could think was she was told ahead of time, or she is reading the blogs and knows many have turned against her. She was such a GRUMP through the entire show. When Shannon got the boot Kate was so elated, but we did not get to see her scene because they cut the lights on her. I was soooo glad the world didn't have to watch and Kate didn't get the line light! Her staying proves it is very much a popularity deal and the judges are just for show. Kate does have a following. Some poor schmucks actually believe her act. At this point the loudest thing everyone could do is stop watching the show. Walk away!!...See MoreLOOKING for: recipes for after jaw surgery
Comments (40)My BF was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer 3 1/2 yrs ago and after chemo, radiation, loss of part of his tongue, jaw replacement and throat replacement with muscle from his arm was told he would have to live with a PEG tube for the rest of his life. He refused and learned to down Ensure, aspirating a little each time but swallowing tests show it is not detrimental as he has learned to drink over a sink and he coughs out the last little bit. He has not been able to gain weight beyond 140 lbs (he looks like a stick man) even downing 16 bottles of Ensure a day and eventually adding whey protein powder until I met him. He likes to race in Enduro motorcycle competitions so is high energy. I am an RN and can't stand to see people using Ensure as a meal replacement, it is only meant to be a supplement and other than the vitamins and protein only contains oil and sugar with milk solids. I figured if he could down anything I could get him back to consuming vitamins, fat, etc. through natural foods and put some weight on him. The sugar in the Ensure has also taken a toll on what was beautiful white teeth. He had purchased a Vitamix 5200 (pricey but worth it) to mix another powdered sweet drink he found (can't remember the name) to put weight on. The vitamix will actually dessimate anything you place in it and is so fast it will heat the food so hot that you can't drink it. I have learned to blend the weirdest foods together to get the high calories and the only problem I've had is with the broths/juices/milk you have to add to get it to the very liquid consistency will sometimes dilute the flavors. I literally blend anything I eat for him and he is eating better than ever. I now taste everything (sometimes it sounds like it would be gross) and have been astounded at how flavorful meals can be. He has gained 10 lbs over the last 2 months since I add cheese, butter, use whole milk, and for shakes blend high fat nuts like Macadamia and coconut (he loves) and add to them. I have noticed that chicken and dumplings is his favorite because the base of the soup is all I need to use to thin it so it is full flavor. Also for some reason the italian dishes like spaghetti, lasagna, etc. even when thinned severely with beef broth keep the original taste. White sauces are best thinned with chicken broth and milk (both) and sweet and sour chicken is best thinned with apple juice. He is Jewish so when we made potato latke's I put the apple sauce and sour cream in and thinned with apple juice and milk and it tasted almost just like mine in a liquid version. One potato latke thinned equalled 64 ounces so thank goodness he can drink alot! Next time I may add a few potato flakes for extra calories. He has started blending sushi and thins with seafood broth found only at Central Market here. I've done steak with potato including sour cream, butter, bacon bits and thinned one time with milk and another with beef broth and added beef gravy...he loved it! Most of our "soups" come out restaurant quality:-)My next jump is to make steak with Au Jus and Demi Glace to try to get the flavor to come out better. I encourage you all not to be afraid to try different things together and remember that on a liquid diet you need to increase your calories significantly. His Oncologist said he can't believe I've been able to put weight on him but he's defied all of them from the start:-)...See More- 11 months agolast modified: 11 months ago
