The trick as I know you know, is to stay ahead of the pain, otherwise it takes more big gun drugs to turn it back around. As far as a permanent solution… I do not know of one. But I do understand. It effects my teeth, gums, jaw, eyes, neck… absolutely no fun. So sorry hon. Hope you get relief soon!
