Normally I am a fairly patient person.(in most respects) But I must admit that the waiting this time for answers is manifesting as stress, and stress, ( lovely silent migraine maker) likes to play games with your mind and your body. This I know from ignoring stress levels at other times in my life. One year belly, next year headaches, then heart palpitations, etc. This year it has decided to give be jaw aches, which is funny because if you know me you know I cannot grind my teeth.
I thought it might be a bad tooth but the soreness is further back on my jaw line and it is also sore to the touch. So I of course mulled it over in my head for a few days until I realized that it was once again stress.
Really, I have to find an outlet since I seem to be predisposed to stress materializing in it's various forms.
The cause of all this bullshit? Waiting for State Farm to make a decision regarding to pay or not pay for my most recent money sucking medical bills. The injury became obvious after the accident and my quick trip to the ER last August. It did not jump out and say "Ow!" the night the accident occurred, but instead over the months following it grew to be noticeable. Namely compressed nerves in my neck, but also disc bulging in my back. The MRI showed normal aging signs as well, and I do not expect them to pay for that. However the compressed nerves in my neck? Yes because they won't ever go away according to my neurologist. He freaked me out saying that forced movement of my cervical spine or surgery could actually cause paralysis.
So yeah..I'm playing the waiting game.
It's a damn good thing I don't bite my nails because I would have none left. I just want an answer.
Not grinding my teeth...grrr..

PS: The jaw ache was the harbinger of the flu. It knocked me out for almost a week. Still rubbish from State Farm. One claim (mine) stating they are waiting for the doctor's note that clearly states the compressed nerves and bulging discs are from the accident, The other (claimant) sharing that they will only pay the medical bills. I see an attorney tomorrow.
