Must have been bruxisming hard in my sleep. Feel like my face has been hit by a shovel 😬. Thinking back to having these headaches before we knew they were #TMJD related and how I would drink hot tea & eat toast for comfort, not realising that the toast was inflaming the jaw joint more 🙈 😩 😂 💀

Images and descriptions giving an overview of occipital decompression/migraine surgery.

Todd M. Stein Facebook post: “20 days until my final pre-op appointment in Ohio. 35 days until my 4-5 hour long occipital decompression surgery that will have multiple surgical procedures at The Ohio State University's The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. THIS COULD/should/hopefully BE LIFE CHANGING PAIN RELIEF from the back of my head up over the top of my skull to my forehead or near my eyes. Admittedly, it won't touch any of my other chronic pain anywjere else in my body but we hope the relief will be all much that the rest may seem to be more "manageable" to live with. I will take whatever I can get for pain relief as it's now ~20 years in on my #LifelnPain. So, we'll go to Ohio in 19 days and return in 21 days only to arrive back at OSU 13 days later for the surgeries the following day. Then we will "live in Columbus" for…” (See comments for final part of this post because only allowed 4 pics on an OP in BlueSky.)

“I DON'T LOOK SICK” “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but my legs often feel like wet spaghetti and will go numb and give out on me without warning. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but I live with an intense, deep exhaustion that makes every movement feel like I'm trying to move at the bottom of the ocean. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but I suffer from an extremely sensitive heat intolerance that makes me feel light headed, ill and feint even in what feels like a normal room temperature to you. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but my nerves often give me "phantom itches" that make me scratch myself raw at an itch that doesn't actually exist. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but inside, my bones often feel like someone is using a jackhammer on them, especially during a change in weather. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but if anything, even something little, stresses or worries me, my body rebels and symptoms flare up just for the fun of it. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but it's extremely difficult for me to concentrate on anything, and as a result my memory suffers drastically. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but the simplest tasks can take me 5 times longer and take 5 times as much energy to finish than a "normal" person. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but you'll never know the struggle beneath the surface.”
