Wasn’t going
to write until I had been up for longer, then thought that I don’t have to
share this with the world anyway, so might as well do it now. I thought I was
sleeping pretty well, until my cheek and gums started to feel irritated by the
current mouth guard I’m using. I tried for a couple of hours to relax, but
after a while, I realized I couldn’t relax enough to get back to sleep. And
this was after getting up and taking the 8 o’clock dose of Carbatrol. Anyway, I
will be going to Walgreen's later and getting the brand of mouth guard that the
dentist recommended last year, that seemed to work pretty well. Then to make me
feel even worse, after I took the fucking mouth guard out and slammed the
drawer closed with it in there, I had another TN attack. Granted it didn’t last
long, but when you’re already not feeling well, and you’re not expecting it, I
think the pain seems worse. I am up now and have taken one of the Naproxen (Aleve)
tablets that the dentist prescribed for pain, as well as one of the Vimpat
tablets that me neuro prescribed for TN pain. I’m hoping that the 2 combined
will make the cheek and tooth/whatever pain go away, or at least be greatly diminished.
Since I’ve
been up, I’ve fed the cats, cleaned their litter box, soaked up water that they
splashed out of the water pan, turned my coffee pot on, and rinsed my mouth out
with warm salt water. I honestly don’t know if my cheek is irritated on the
inside, or if it’s strictly the Trigeminal Neuralgia making it seem that way.
I see some
sunshine, so maybe this won’t be such a bad day after all. No sure what the
temperature is supposed to be today, but it’s already 56 degrees Fahrenheit (13
Celsius). Hope you have an awesome day.
