I have moved into the lounge so as to be away from the ensuite by my bedroom, reason being that mould spores may be affecting my allergies/sinus/asthma, I am on medication from ent (diagnosed mucosal thickening/allergy via ct scan nasal endoscopy) for the sinus.
He referred me to a specialist for a mouth guard for the clenching this man said no and gave me no treatment saying it is all caused by living with my bipolar son and the stress it causes. So 2 weeks later I am still struggling with the tmj (jaw/ear/teeth/temples/neck) pain caused by the clenching.
I do not understand why he wont prescribe me a fitting mouth guard, he has referred me back to the gp's who did nothing in the first place and are the reason I went to him. The only medication treatment I have for the TMJ is 10mg amitrip for pain, as you know at that dose it's not for depression/anxiety.
The specialist was surprised the other specialist had not helped me with the TMJ and said he would speak to him, I am still waiting for a response, I rang the secretary and she said she would ask and phone me yesterday, I am still waiting............
Now at week 7 of this I can only do a very little then have to rest before can do a bit more, I am in this room mostly so as to avoid my son who last night had a total meltdown about a sky remote that wouldnt work including waving knives about and pouring all his pills into his mouth then spitting them all over the counter.............
It is 10 to 2 and he has still not come down, I can hear him moving about up there.
All this started 7 weeks ago after I had flu and couldn't recouperate due to his being up all night, chanting, tapping, loud music, banging doors etc, and the vilest abuse if I asked him for any help or quiet.....then sleeping all day, this tmj developed and now every night i dread having to wake him for school cos of how he is towards me and so I grind and clench all night..........
