Hi Steve,
So, if im still clenching to the point that im making it difficult for
the NTI, what would be helpful, valium or some other drug? Thanks for
the replies, and I apologize for wearing everyone out with all these
posts. You know, although im still dealing with pain, there is some
difference. before the NTI i could feel and hear
a clunk when jutting my jaw forward,that motion although still stiff,
is much smoother. Man, this tajik girl in class today told me in her
broken english, that I didnt act all happy and talkative like the rest
of the class, but "like ima gonna keel myself". I guess im
grimacing.........
