I am, unfortunately, a TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) sufferer and the last few days have been a nightmare because it has been playing up such a lot! I was in tears last night because it feels like you have a migraine, earache and toothache all at the same time - basically I feel like I just spent 10 rounds in the ring with Tyson AND he bit my ear off! My face feels swollen and I can't touch my cheekbone - urgh!

Luckily, I feel a bit better at the moment because 30/60mg of Codeine helps a bit :) I intend to keep myself dosed up as it is the Plymouth all day crop tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it - I have already missed the evening one this week :(
I am excited as I ordered myself a 3" scalloped circle punch and that has arrived - it is gorgeous. I also ordered 5 reels of foam tape because I use it on just about everything and I was completely lost when I ran out the other day!
Well, I have to go and finish some scrapping work whilst I am feeling a bit better.
Ouch! That sounds really painful. Glad you are feeling a bit better now.
I feel so hungry now after looking at the ham/eggs. Looks yummy...now off to Tesco to buy ham and eggs! LOL

I really hope it goes away soon as I know sort of what it's like. As part and parcel of my MS I sometimes get Trigeminal Neuralgia and that hurts bigtime and you don't know whether you have a headache or face ache or toothache! So I really feel for you bigtime. Get better soon. Lots of Love Patti xxx
