Thanks, everyone!
Actually, I already have a nightguard that my dentist made a couple months ago... well, today, when I went to a specialist cause the nightguard was making it far worse, I was told I needed a "hard" guard for "bottom" teeth.... right now I have a hard and soft guard for over my "top" teeth. Urgh. So, I highly doubt insurance will cover 2 nightguards in 2 months, but we'll keep our fingers crossed.
I've actually worn a night guard since in my teens and it just recently started getting much much worse nightguard or not. So, please keep me in your prayers that something works. I'm really in a lot of pain and can hardly chew most of the time. Its terrible. I also was a bit unhappy with my doctor visit today since after sitting in the waiting room for an hour past my appt. time, he took one feel of my temples and told me to "bite down" and that was the entire exam. **sigh** Not very thorough if you ask me. So, we'll see. I just really can't handle this pain much more though. Its especially terrible when I'm doing my nebs and have to hold my mouth open around the neb. Urgh.
Anyway, sorry to ramble. I'm going to take my elavil early tonight as I have to get up early tomorrow. Thanks for the great responses. So, I assume its ok for CFers to be on a tricyclic antidepressant?
Thanks,
