What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
Here's a bit more information I'm sure you were dying to know about me.
I'm heading back home tomorrow to spend the holiday with my family. I'm missing my husband like crazy. And it's been a wild week.
I've had problems with my TMJs for about as long as I can remember. Things had gotten worse lately, had surgery last May and things aren't much better and I was told Mon. by my specialist that there is some pathogenic organism in my joint breaking it down, that he could see the progression over the last year from the x-rays. So now I'm completely torn with what to do.
I've made an appointment to get a second opinion (my current specialist wants to inject antibiotics in my joints not even knowing what kind of "organism" it is that is present by doing blood tests or anything) and he said that any kind of surgery will only make it worse. And if we let it go the joint could almost be destroyed in a year or two.
So I called to get a copy of my records and it will cost about 200 DOLLARS! to get a copy of my paper file and x-rays. That is such a crock! How are they allowed to do that?
I did some research today and it seems somewhat common for bacterial presence and TMJD to go hand in hand. There is a lot of research coming out of Baylor, so I could go down there if I need to for a consult. But what a shock, I was blindsided by this enews and it is crazy not having my husband here or being able to talk to him.
So enough for the most depressing post yet, have a great holiday!
