Confused Update

Went to TMJ specialist and had to get impressions,models, and measurements done that will be required with the MRI I need of jaw and a CT scan of one arch joint.I am waiting for certain hospital to call me with date of MRI and then I need to go pick up models to take with me to these appts.

I had a panic attack on the way to Specialist and was told I was not to take any my anxiety meds before coming, so I show up with muscle spasms all in jaw,face and upper body. I suppose it was the anticipation of everything had made me go panic. I felt ok after just wore out of 2hours of opening and closing and doing all kinds of jaw things.I was kind of sore to eat the rest of day.Then the next day I had a full blown melt down from I don't know where or why? Now I am just waiting to get MRI and this CT scan of joint.

I think I got upset because my rehabilitation is on total stand still until this jaw thing is fixed and this is a very expensive ordeal that I need to pay for...how?I don't know....I really wish this could all be over I am losing strength with not much to hold on to anymore.
