In Reply to: 24 and pissed off from pain. please help me. posted by angie lacefield on July 22, 2003 at 19:51:50:

: i am 24 and have suffered from this since i was in an accident at 14. at first it was just occasional aches and tension but has progressed into a nightmare i cannot wake from. Over the past few years i have finally began to understand tmj better which has helped me to deal with my symptoms. but as some of you may know, sometimes(most of the time)it is unbearable torture. the pain and pressure, the tension and tightness,the feeling as if your going to just lose control. i can't live this way anymore. this is not living, it's dying, slowly. and i just can't let it get the best of me any more. no one has ever really understood my pain or why i keep to myself sometimes so my pain doesn't bite them as well. i was shocked to hear of others who can relate and hopefully help. where are you and can u please come out and play?
Sadly I know what you are going through. I had an accident when I was 8 & my internal hell began slowly also. Both of my disks were dislocated in this accident. To make a long story short I live life taking a hand full of pills. Sometimes wishing God would take me off the set a litlte early.
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I wasn't in pain. But I know that will most likely never happen in my life time. There are people close to me that have know idea I hurt so bad and sometimes I wonder if they could care less. I hate talking about it b/c it depresses me too bad. But enough of that BS, you have to realize this it's not going away & just decide that your going to move on & be happy. It's okay if you get dowm once & a while, just as long as you get back up. Please find the correct treatment & what ever you do...DO NOT LET THEM CUT ON YOU. Save yourself until they really know what the fuck they are doing. If you want to know anything else feel free to contact me. & by the way..I'm only 28.
