TMJ and Muscle Relaxers

So the dentist diagnosed me with stress-induced TMJ. A side-effect of it is that my left jaw muscle has been cramping up, making it hard to eat pretty much anything. Woo hoo.

We tried some pain killers, hoping it would relieve the pain and let my muscles relax a bit – when that failed, I was prescribed Carisoprodol, a muscle relaxant.

Oh boy.

Really.

Oh boy.

I think it also relaxes my I-don’t-give-a-crap muscle. It’s awesome.

So if it wasn’t for the lightheadedness and dizzyness, I’d be great right about now.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m just going to float around here for a while.
