Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Dear Marilyn, ain't life grand? I never associated my mouth problems with RP until whoever brought it up. I have not heard back from him since. I did have to go into Merck to find out what TMJ was. I sure hope we all have a good weekend. Please take very good care of yourself...Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 For new people who don't understand all the knowledge that we have because you may have just been diagnosed TMJ is an infectious arthritis especially in the mouth. When I don't understand something I go into Merck.com. Use search, it will say they can't access information but type in what you want to know and it'll find it. Good luck and bless...Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hi Sue, Thanks for letting me know about this. I didn't realize what it was. I've had it for years. The doctor says it's from grinding my teeth all night long. Wanted me to wear a mouth guard. After I found out how expensive they are I just said to heck with that. Have enough trouble just keeping up with regular dentist appointments and all these root canals. Did you get the message I sent to you earlier? To everyone else on the list, have a great pain free weekend, and do something really special for yourselves. It's going to be hot here so I'm going to hibernate and try to find a good book or tape to listen to. Will be turning on the A/C here pretty soon. Take care.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hi folks, Lucy here, Has anybody else had a problem with canker sores in their mouth like I have for most of their lives. Kind of a chronic thing but would be very aggressive at times, by that I mean a bunch of them all over my mouth! They are so painful!!! I did let everyone know sometime back that I changed to Rembrandt toothpaste especially for the reduction of canker sores and it really did help a lot. Love and Prayers, Lucy PS When I was just a little thing, (Yes, at one time I was little), my Dr. gave me a small pox vaccination to try to get rid of my ulcers. Anybody ever heard of that?

Was finally told that a mouth guard that the football players wear will do almost the same thing. It really does help. I can't wear it now because of the cpap machine. But you can get them at any sports store. Won't hurt to try... It is suppose to be in the 100's here. So will be hot all week. I think tomorrow Rich and I are going to take a ride up to the mountains where it is cool. Just for a few hours. Other than that, i'll be joining you with my good book and just relaxing. I had a reall good day today. Went to get my glasses, went grocery shopping (Yuck), went to the fruit stand and by then my feet were killing me. Came home took and Ultram and then cooked dinner and and Makeila came over and stayed til 10pm. Can't believe I'm feeling so good. Must have been the Ultram. LOL Hope you enjoy your week end and just rest and relax. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
