Sadly, even with the night guard and myofunctional therapy, I'm not seeing any lessening of head/jaw pain. And honestly, performing the exercises actually makes my face/jaw hurt so wtf do I do?
I have a follow-up with the myofunctional therapist next week, as well as an Ear, Nose and Throat doc to discuss my enlarged tonsils. The therapist feels my tonsils could be preventing my tongue from sitting in the neutral position, and the reason why I gag while performing certain exercises (why do I feel like a sucker as I say this out loud? My very first neurologist, although a scum bag, once told me to beware of charlatans.).
I am feeling good about going to the gym though. There's still that fine line between getting a decent workout and getting a pounding exertion headache, so I always have to be aware of my body. Saturday's my last appointment with my personal trainer. I am ready to take on the gym by myself muahaha.
I'm on day three of a hormonal migraine so I'm going to go relax.
