TMJ revisited

Two weeks ago, I went to see a TMJ specialist to finally put an end to my clicking-locking-painful jaw. 3 x-rays and several other procedures confirmed that indeed I have a TMJ dysfunction.

I have a deep bite and my right condyle is less than a millimeter away from my temporal bone. Hence, the clicking and the pain. My left condyle is only a millimeter away. The normal distance should be 3 millimeters.

Also, I can only open my mouth to a max of 29 millimeters. The normal range is 40 millimeters. (Yes, I have been having difficulties with biting but it does not stop me from eating a lot in the past few months.)

The dentist said I need to undergo theraphy and wear a splint (bite plate) 24/7 for 3-6 months to correct my bite. The splint and the theraphy would cost me 30 thousand.

Afterwards, she said I need to wear braces. And that would cost a minimum of 40 thousand. Goodness! Sakit ng mayaman pala ito.

I'm not too sure if I really needed the braces. So, I'll have to ask other dentists. I don't want to wear one because it looks painful. And it costs a lot. So, austerity measures na naman ito.

I'll be officially starting my theraphy tomorrow. I hope the splint isn't uncomfortable and that I wouldn't have any speech difficulties while wearing it.

random thoughts

i read/found out something this afternoon and all of a sudden i am i getting teary-eyed about everything that i think about..

-----------

we went apartment hunting last Sunday and found a couple of intereseting ones.

one costs 15-16t hou a month (ndi pa confirmed w/c one). 2 flrs, 2 bedrooms, 2 t&b. it was new and nice and clean and spacious.

the other costs 16thou a month. 2 flrs, 2 bedrooms dn. mas malapit compared dun sa previous one.

i asked my housemate why we are leaning towards the first one when the latter is nearer. sbe nya, "pink yun eh.."

ayos, mabigat na criteria pala ang kulay ng walls kaysa sa location.
