    • About Me

      Hey my name is Angie... The other day I wrote down all my symptoms and everything they are related to.. For my TMJ, it feels like my jaw pop out of place, mostly on the right side... I was diagnosed when I was 20, I thought it was my wisdom teeth.. Anyway, my other symptoms for my TMJ include; ear pain/right ear, throbbing pain. Neck stiffness, mainly right side. When I try and tilt my head to the left, I get a shooting pain on my right side from my neck to my ear. I get muscle spasms in my face, neck, upper and lower back. I hear grinding sounds like rubbing two plates together. Extreme headaches, sometimes the pain is so bad it makes me vomit! I get TMJ pain that wakes me up out of my sleep. i get tired jaw, most of the time I have to stop eating because my jaw is getting tired. Now for my stomach symptoms... I have IBS, GERD, and Hiatal Hernia; my symptoms include nausea/ vomiting, diarrhea, constipation. Extreme bloating, I can feel my stomach stretching even though I have been eating less. Also I notice new stretch marks... I get severe pain on my right side under my rib cage, tender to touch. I also get pain in the lower left part of my abdomen, especially when I bend over and sometimes when I walk... I also often feel like there is something stuck in my esophagus. I am now getting indigestion as I hardly ever got it before. Increased heartburn even though I am taking 20mg of prescription prilosec, twice a day. I have so many medications every time someone comes in my room they say I have a pharmacy... I also have bronchial asthma, just recently I had a really bad flair up in September, and through the middle of October. I take advair and other medications for that.. I have other symptoms, which include back pain, dizzy/lightheadedness, extreme dry mouth, chronic laryngitis. I wake up several times a night and have trouble falling asleep.. Shaky, frequent panic attacks... Feeling overwhelmed, I am always, always worried! I am on edge lately.. This is quite new to me.. I don't get angry I get upset. I have been having blurred vision lately, and I have 20/20 vision! Well now you know my medical and mental history.. I am 24... I was diagnosed with most of my conditions at 17.. Been to so many many doctors and specialist.. At the current time I do not have health insurance. I am a big procrastinator. I had to leave my job and withdraw from the semester of school because I had a really bad asthma flair up and had to stay close to the nebulizer. I am going to school for nursing. I am very much in debt... I have bad credit.. Enough about the bad... I have a boyfriend who is extremely supportive.... I don't think I would have made it this far without him.. I have a 7 month old nephew who loves me, when he sees me he laughs and wants me to play with him.. He makes me smile... I have a 4.0, even though I had to medically withdraw three times, since 2004. I am determined to get my degree in nursing! So that is me, I am 24 and I often feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. If you ever want to talk you can find me on here or on myspace. I am myspace.com/lovemeforever84, just let me know you are from DS!
