Good news at the cardiologist. My ultrasound of my heart was normal. No signs of high bp. They don't seem to think I need medication, but I'm supposed to take my bp at home. Hard to do right now, but once I get my pain under control, that will be my next project, lol.
I took the first of my pain med this morning. Crossing my fingers this one works without too many side affects. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I know for sure. I have my appointment next Monday with the new TMJ/Orofacial dentist for new mouth guards. It's still possible my nerves will heal. The meds should calm the nerves down and the mouth guards protect my teeth. It's a long shot, but I'm hopeful. But if not, I still have the medication.
wishiwasinhawaii, unfortunately all movement irritates my mouth, even my bike. I would have to do something where my head was completely upright, with no movement. I do some light housework each morning. On a day where I don't have any errands or appointments, I will take a short walk. I could do a short standing yoga, and that would be beneficial for me. I just need to remember to do it! The doctor said that once the med takes effect, I should be able to exercise more.
