Taz's diary - Need to do this!

[** Just Jools **]

Hey hun. Hope you're getting used to the new meds & have a good day. x

 

[Jim]

Morning Taz. :wavey:

 

[Taz]

Evening all! Sorry I've been awol of late. As Gem said, between work and the pills I haven't had much time. I've also been waiting ages for my new laptop which has finally arrived after many problems with the company.

Had a bad weekend, became really ill with a clamped jaw on Saturday afternoon and all I could take for it, because of my new regular medication, was paracetamol and ibuprofen. It wasn't too effective and I was feeling sick from the pain. I eventually got to sleep and got through work on sunday on more painkillers but still with the headache nagging. Still have remnants of it and just hoping it will subside.

Diet wise, nothing new to report. Still have sticky lbs to contend with but I am trying to tackle one thing at a time whilst going for damage limitation!

Sorry to hear that Taz, hope your jaw gets better soon and your headache goes. How long will it take for the new tablets to kick in?

 

[Taz]

No idea, I have to take them for 6,9 or 12 months. Not sure who or how it's decided how long. I've been on the for 2 weeks now so they are really getting into my system and I can't say I like them much! I am so tired all the time and I don't like that

 

[Gemstone]

Sorry to hear you've had your old problems back again - I hope you feel better soon. Once the pills get into your system the tiredness may sort itself out and might just give you good nights instead of being tired all the time x

 

[coachnomad]

I can imagine you not liking being tired all the time. You would have thought that after 2 weeks they would be in your system enough for it to be helping your jaw.

 

[Jim]

Morning Taz, is it Bruxism you suffer from love?

 

[Gemstone]

It's HMS Jim, hypermobility syndrome x

 

[Jim]

ah right, thanks Gem. I thought someone mention teeth grinding.

Morning Taz.

 

[Gemstone]

She gets something to do with a clamped jaw and she has HMS - It is quite likely that it is related x

 

[Taz]

As far as I'm aware, I don't have bruxism unless it's while I'm sleeping and I don't know about it! I have got TMJD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) which may be related to my other condition HMS. This has never been confirmed although many people with HMS also have TMJD. The main problem I get is my jaw tightens and clamps which causes pain in the joint then the pain travels up to my temples and into my head. It is crippling pain when it happens so I really want it to stop.

 

[Gemstone]

See Jim - wot she said - my version wasn't quite as informed was it.

Morning Taz - I hope you are feeling OK this morning x

 

[Jim]

Morning Taz, ouch, that's not nice is it love. I hope you find something that helps.

 

[Taz]

Morning all. I'm off to work this morning but as my alarm went off at 3am I realised that I don't have to set my alarm again now til Wednesday so I get some lie ins now! Woo hoo!!!

 

[Gemstone]

Yay for the lie ins x

 

[Jim]

Mornig Taz, I've just posted some more Olivia pics.

Morning Taz xx

 

[Taz]

Morning all! I am just catching up with everything. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news about Westiegirl (Sarah) yesterday. Life is often too short and you should make the most of it x

 

[Jim]

Hi Taz, yes indeed love, very sad news.
