Some days I just have to remember tomorrow is a new day. I have been having issues with jaw, ear and terrible headaches. I thought I might have an ear infection but doctor says ears are fine. I have dentist appointment Monday ... I know my dentist mentioned a bite guard which of course my insurance does not cover. I know some of this is stress related ... I am officially unemployed as of today... I knew it was coming was told a week ago. So just trying to figure next steps. I am very Greatful my health insurance is through my husband. I had been at my company for five years and have a lot of flexibility. I can work from home, evening hours etc, pick up kids from school. I am trying to not stress about finding another job and something that my body can do with the RA.... So people tell me don't stress... I already have anxiety issues taking cymbalta so this is kicking into overdrive. If everyone could keep me in their thoughts and send good juju my way!! Sadly, a lot of my income goes to medical bills lol
