i eat painkillers like candy because of my headaches.

mt fiancé gets them that bad he passes out..almost daily. they can find nothing wrong so they feed him drugs.

i feel your pain.

Funny thing.... My wife has headaches every night at bedtime.

Headache and body aches every day. Getting old really sucks.


I'm addicted to these. http://www.bcpowder.com/

I'm quite sure that I am getting cluster headaches because of them.

ugh - painkillers give me the WORST headaches so i'm kinda screwed on that point.

... "Not tonight, dear, I have a headache."
"Advil. So gentle you can take it even when you're faking a headache."

?

oh good.
i just got a letter from my medical insurance. a month after i applied for precertification to get help for tmj treatment. i am denied. apparently there is not a law in nj that they HAVE to provide coverage for tmj issues. so they dont. so now i need $1250 dollars or else i will have headaches every day, like i have for the past 3 years.

and people wonder why i never have fucking money.

i'm prescribed to all sorts of pain killers and preventatives for headaches.. I get them every day = (

it makes doing normal everyday stuff so hard.. = (

Appeal, appeal, appeal. If you do it enough, they will give in and pay. Insurance companies suck ass.

even if it apparently outrigt says on my plan benefits they dont cover anything associated with treating tmj?

My dentist handles my tmj. My dental insurance covers it (and the two different mouth guards I've had over the years). Do you have dental?? Maybe they will get it? Or at least help, a little.

Just remember:

If you're GRINDING, get a soft, chewtoy-like one.

If you're CLENCHING, get a hard, acrylic one.

(It took a shoulder/neck/nerve injury and my physical therapist to figure out that I was CLENCHING my teeth and had the wrong kind of mouth guard, thanks to my dentist. I now have the correct kind.)

Haha, pun

then i was lied to. 6 months ago my dentist said i needed a soft one bc i was clenching. got that. insurance said no we are not paying for this. cost me 400 bucks. and didnt do a fucking thing. now i need a hard one. 1200 bucks. what the fuck. he said the hard one was for people who grind. i dont know. i ave no idea what i do when im sleeping i just know that im sick of having headaches 24/7!@!@!@@!@ aagh.

Dude you can go to Walmart or Sports Authority and buy them for like $20!

theyre not the same. it has to be adjusted so that i am biting down evenly on it and all this bullshit, or else it can irritate me even more, all this nonsense. its a pain in the ass.
