TMJ or TMD, either acronym will suffice

[threeplusfire]

Over the past four days I have been to the doctor twice and picked up five different prescriptions. (I think we know where my tax refund is going.) So, my kind and soft spoken doctor says the agony is tempromandibular joint disorder. This is the part of the movie where I pitch and unnecessary and childish tantrum over having such a ridiculous problem, using every curse word I can remember in English, French, Spanish, Czech, Russian, Chinese and maybe that awful Serbian thing I used to know how to say.

I'm going to try to eat something so I have food in my stomach for all the medication I need right now.

TMJ! I have it too, but mine doesn't usually ratchett up beyond annoying.

I was about to make some doofy comment about how we could be elementary school style twins with our creaky jaws and then realized it wasn't as funny as wearing matching sweaters and Hello Kitty socks.

I was in so much pain last night I asked Mike if he would break some of my fingers and I wasn't really completely joking.

I'm sorry about your jaw :(

Is the Serbian phrase by chance "go fuck your mother's pussy?" This is the only thing I know in Serbian -- not even hello or goodbye.

I think it might have been! Only I can't seem to remember it anymore. Bah.

TMJ sucks, but I know a bunch of people who have it, so I guess I don't find it such a ridiculous problem.

By ridiculous I mean totally frustrating and crazy making.

Crazy making!

Okay, I see now.
