What a beautiful day it is turning out to be.

I just injured myself eating lunch. For some reason, my jaw locked up hard and I can't get to go back where it's supposed to sit. No warning, no build-up, just fine to OWFUCK in about three seconds. I can't really open my mouth, and turning my head is no picnic either.

Feh. On the bright side, and completely unrelated to my inability to eat without hurting myself, sannion has some sexy pictures of Dionysos in his journal today. Go look at them. I will still be here, cursing through mostly-closed lips.

"I just injured myself eating lunch."

This made me laugh, due to all the funny ways one could do this...

"For some reason, my jaw locked up hard and I can't get to go back where it's supposed to sit."

This did not make me laugh... Ow. That sucks. Hope it gets better soon!

It's not quite as stunning as injuring yourself sleeping, but I can do that too, if I'm pressed to it.

Thanks for the kind wishes. The Advil fairy came by and gave me some anti-inflammatories, so I have hope that it will be sorting itself out soon.

Does it feel TMJ-related, like the joint is actually out-of-whack? Come down here before you go home and I can try to fiddle with it a bit, but otherwise not sure what you can do...call Star?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's like particular TMJ funtime. With the advil, I have been able to weasel it mostly back where it should go, and I think it will sort itself out. Not that I object to dropping by and letting you fiddle with me at your office, but I don't think it'll be necessary for the welfare of my jaw. :)

Been there, done that.

I have Transmadibuliar Joint Disorder or TMJ which causes random dislocations as well as other head/jaw pain fun...

Hope it feels better soon!

It hurts just to read about this. Do you have problems with clenching your jaw a lot or grinding your teeth?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Yeah, more the clenching than the grinding. I try to be aware of it and stop myself from doing it, but am not always successful.

Thanks for the Dionysian links. Remind me to tell you about the time I cosplayed as Bacchus in Jr. High and got away with it, 'cause it was official.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Officially what?

We were holding a "Latin Banquet" were the final project for Latin class was to dress up like a Roman [demi]god/dess and perform a short speech to identify major myths about one's character.

At the time, I just thought it would be cute and controversial to be a fourteen-year-old God of Wine and Revelry. Yeah, I always liked to do my shit-disturbing in subtle yet creative ways.

(I still have the homemade toga costume in my closet somewhere. However, it won't come much past my hips any more, and I'd probably bust the seams as my chest musculature has matured significantly. The purple cape and wreath of vines, however, are still around and in reasonable fashion.)
