New serious post
I think I am developing lockjaw. Despite what a certain someone says. I have had a headache and neckache for a week and my jaw is very sore. It feels like it is locking up. I should mention that my jaw is double jointed. It popped out of place last week on it's own, I popped it back into place and it has hurt ever since. I took an 800 Motrin and it is still throbbing. Just the left side which is the side that pops.
Do you think it's lockjaw?

"The first symptoms typically appear within four to 25 days after infection. At the outset, you'll be troubled by painful muscle stiffness and spasms in the jaw and neck (from which the disease derives its name). Gradually, the back, chest, abdomen, and limbs also become affected. High fever, convulsions, restlessness, difficulty swallowing, fever, sore throat, chills, and extreme pain may eventually join the initial symptoms. "
I doubt it, but if you have any more symptoms please go to the Doctor.
And umm, why did your jaw pop out of place last week?
I have the abdomen pains. I guess that's cramps. Restlessness, check, it's 2am and I've been up for an hour. Yep, it's lockjaw.
No clue. I wasn't doing anything fun though when it popped. *grin*
You weren't singing along to the radio?
No, I was probably yelling at you or something. *grin*
Michelle thinks it's TMJ (or whatever) because I grind my teeth.
Oh for cripes sake woman...call your doctor. At least he or she will do better than WebMD.
I had to read that twice, I wondered what a Boo Motrin was.
I think you probably just need a shot.
My doctor doesn't let me call them and come in anymore unless I am referred by a trusted source. I am not allowed to look at WebMD anymore per my doctors prescription. They think that just because I am a hypochondriac that nothing is ever wrong with me.
My tombstone is going to have two sayings.
1. See!! I told you I was sick
and
2. Fuck, I'm dead
*rubs* carey's neck...can't do much about the jaw...I think you need to relax hun.
Ok sometimes I say silly things...
Ummmm...you seem to be missing the rusty nail part of the story...
I say not lockjaw unless you have an embarrassing "I stepped on a rusty nail" part of the story that you aren't telling us.
No shots!!!!!!! I am afraid of needles.
I didn't step on a rusty nail but...
Last week I stepped on some tack strip when the carpet was exposed. I didn't pierce the skin, but still.
I drank a rusty nail once but I didn't like it. Could that be it?
Ha! I love your tombstone. You funny.
I'm going to go with "probably not lockjaw", 'cause I think you need to get tetanus first. I'm not sure you can get that from tack strip that didn't break the skin. If you can, then I also have tetanus. :-)
No shots? But...But...I thought drinks were on you and I need a shot.
Oh good Seana, I won't suffer alone. Come sit on the couch with me.
Momma: DRINKS ON ME!!!!!!!!!!
I have a serious question and since this is another serious post, I figure it's as good a place as any to ask it....
How come all the cool peeps come to Carey's bloggie first? mm, zombie, and seana are all "new" sightings and no one new ever comes to play in my bloggie. 'cept zombie came by once yesterday.
Are you trying to steal my party? *evil eye*
You will make me cry if everyone leaves my blog and goes to yours.
do you want to make me cry? Is that what you want? *sniff*
I came to your blog yesterday, Momma. I didn't even get a Hi or a Welcome or a drink or anything! *sniff*
No one comes to my blog either. Course not many people know where it is, but still. :)
I go to everybody's blog damnit.
I'm still easing myself into blog reading. I was reading woe's and HD's and Mon's blogs, then I followed some links...
I suck. I will go post on Momma's blog.
*snort*
No, I just want to share the cool peeps. Don't cry Carey!
And Jen, I have to figure out where your bloggie is. I know I found it once, but then I didn't bookmark it and hadn't asked to link it, so I never got to come back.
Well Seana doesn't let us read her blog. She hides it. *pout*
BTW, it was Moonie who called it "blurking"
I'm watching you, Momma. Trying to steal all my cool shit and peeps. *evil eye*
If you figure out where my bloggie is, I'll give you a prize. It's not linked anywhere (because I don't want it to be) and I have never mentioned the address anywhere. I'm kind of private, which is why I haven't shared it with a lot of people. Less than 10 actually. I like to be mysterious. *grin*
I'm going to be sending you a PM in a bit. I have a question I've been meaning to ask you.
I have TMJ, too. Grinding the teeth during sleep sucks cuz you wake up with sore ass jaw muscles. You need to go to the dentist rather than your doctor most likely. A way to avoid it is to get a mouth guard. They're expensive if you don't have dental insurance (like me) so my dentist recommended getting one a sports mart. Like the football players and boxers wear to protect their teeth.
Your sore jaw can also be linked to allergies - have you been sneezing or have congestion? If so, try taking an antihistamine (HOW do you spell that word!) like Sudafed or something. Worst that will happen is it doesn't help.
Just some ideas... if these don't work, by the time you're done testin the theories you'll probably have serious abdomenal pain and won't be able to feel your limbs - then we'll know it was lock jaw and you should have gone to a God Damn doctor!
I don't want your shit, just your peeps :) Yummy little marshmallow thingies, they are.
I already wear boxers and that hasn't helped. I also have a mouthguard but I spit it out in the middle of the night so now I just use it to level out a crooked table.
Will you come to my funeral Mik?
I want a funny one like Cathy's Dad. I want an open casket and I want to be sitting up facing everyone so ya'll can stare at me.
Please don't take my peeps away, Momma. I'm nothing without my peeps.
oh jeez. Quit complaining.
Steal her shit, momma. It will make me laugh. I would very much like to laugh today.
Fuck you, fucker. Neal is just mediocre at best. *sticks out tongue*
hey I visit momma everyday...why the hell are you not at my blog??? Hmmmm...I can be serious!
Maybe I should buy more booze.
mediocre? *snort* Now I know you never clicked on the link. Slacker ass. He is a ROCK GOD, I tell ya. He called me sweetheart, you know.
*looks around*
Steals one yellow peep.
*runs out*

Oops. That was me.
I was going to make a totally racist joke, and then I remembered that my name isn't Donna Lynn. *snort*
Listen to your friend Mikki D. It sounds like TMJ.
Shots on you??? Can I have one...or two?
I went to Momma's yesterday, (I think)...no drinks were on anyone there.
You can have as many as you want. But you need to lick them off. *grin*
I am not yellow!
I think that drinking the rusty nail might be the culprit, and as the resident not-really-a-doctor, I presecribe jello shots to fix it. :)
WOO HOOOO
JELLO SHOTS ON ME!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the jello shot. Would you believe I've never had one? You're my first.
And I have no blog. I had to sign up for this account so I could mock HD's weird sheep obsession. So I filled out the "About me" page and that's it. If I had a blog, I'd let you see it. ;-)
I love it when I am someone's first.
Hey, did you know that sheep is not real? I had no clue.
I did know the sheep was real, having mocked it before. I thought you were joking. :D
Oh. Um, yes. I was kidding. That's it. I was kidding. *grin*
<-----is blonde, remember?
Sounds like trench mouth. Or maybe your stigmata is flaring up again.
Monsty, I thought
WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!
You need to stop freaking me out with that stigmata. I am very sensitive ya know. Now I am afraid.
Stigmata? What's a stigmata?
And, I thought Monsty was on a break.
And, I think Seana needs to make a bloggie.
And? I've finally run out of ands.
*steals a pink peep and runs*
I would tell you what stigmata is but you keep stealing my peeps. So now I will make you google it.
She brings it up because I had a very disturbing stigmata dream involving me and it upset me muchly. I had the stigmata in my dream and woke up with a pain from it.
Michelle wakes up with "a pain" every morning. (And yes, I am kind of on break.)
Well aren't you just funny. Where is Augie. She and i need to discuss the whole dumping you thing.
Ooo, ooo! I know! It's that movie with Patricia Arquette, right?
Hello? I'm in the pool all by myself in Momma's blog.
DRINKS ON EVERYONE!
Jen? google it damnit
Breezy? bitch, get out of my blog if you're gonna try and steal my party people.
PS- Carey, one of your links is messed up. Let's play a game and see how long it takes you to figure out which one. *grin*
That was a joke, dork. I know what it means.
I know which one! What do I win?
Rose has been fixed. *grin*
of course nobody knows I fixed it because all you fuckers are over at Momma's place now. *pout*
I'm not at Momma's. I get ignored over there. I like it here. And at Glow's.
Wasn't that a TV show? Momma's place?
*streaks thru Babydoll's blog*
Come on Jen, sit next to me. We can be ignored here together.
Woo Hoo, streakers. *waves dollar bills*
ooops, where will she keep that?
Will someone visit me and tell me if a new song is playing on my blog? Please. It plays on my puter, but on a friends they do not hear it, and I wanna know if it is just that my puter is better.
Please.
Duh, in my headband.
*tucks dollar*
wooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooo
*streaks back*
*streaks thru Carey's blog on the way to Syrens and drops a yellow peep back off*
Carey- I finally get to sit on the couch?!?! Yay! DRINKS ON ME!!
Tara- I was just at your blog. I didn't hear the song. I haven't heard a new one since that godforsaken Elton John song. :)
Syren -
No song - at the bottom of my browser where it shows loading the page thingie it says "Done, but with errors on the page"
I have no idea WTF was up with the Elton John one...it wasn't on my playlist, but would not go away.
Well Frack...some can hear it and some can't. I wonder why?
I always get an error message on your blog. I never hear music. *pout* How can we dance if I don't hear the music?
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
Woo Hoo, holds out another dollar bill.
thank you for giving back my yellow peep.
I need a little icon thing to use as a pic. Someone find me a cool star. Now.
*peep*
I want some pudding! Where's the pudding?
That last post was #69!
*sings* I swooped Carey's blog again. Neener neener neener.
*giggle*
(Note to self: Get a fucking life. Love, Jen)
The proof is in the pudding.
Jen? yes, get a life. *rolls eyes*
*gigglesnort*
*drops pink peep back off at Carey's bloggie and runs*
I don't streak...I just flash...no dollar bills required.
HEY! who ate all the peeps? No jell-o shots left either? damnit!
Well I don't get any pudding since I don't eat MEAT.
*waits for Syren to streak thru the room again*
Syren was streaking? I thought that was Breezy. *rubs eyes*
*waves to Mikki*
Why do I feel like such a perv for being the only guy posting here?
Oh, duh. It's because I AM a perv. Sorry. My bad.
I streak slowly...and grope...
Jen, check your box at that other place in just a few.
*screams* - There's a penis lurking in here?!?!
HHHhmmmmm... there's a PENis lurking in here! *grin*
*waves back to Jen*
Okay...new player...and it works. Go listen. Please.
*squeal* You all are so jellus of my new bloggy icon, aren't you? :P
It's blinky! Take that!
I am SOOOOO jealous of your new bloggy icon thingy. *pout*
Damnit Mik, are you trying to steal Syren from me?
And Dweeze is the coolest penis. Gothmog will come here too on occasion and he is a great penis too. But Dweeze is a pervy penis and we don't have to respect him. We gotta respect the Gothman though.
Syren doesn't let me listen to music in her blog and I like Agent 25's new star.
Now the rest of you start streaking.
And the groping is much appreciated too.
And JB? I enjoy the flashing too. Especially since it doesn't cost me anything. *smooch*
So, do we *have* to streak in order to be allowed to play here? And what if we *gasp* like peeps with a penis? Am I in the wrong room?
And, how do I get a cool little blog icon thingy?
Well it's just been a looooong time since I've seen a penis (thus, why I didn't get my pudding).
Jen, your icon has me singing Madonna's "You must be my lucky star".
Cute! *wink*
Freak.
Carey, baby you have to push play.
Syren? I never push play, and I hear the music. *smooch*
My guess is Carey "pushes play" every day of her life.
Not that I'm not jealous. *smooch*
Now, can I please sit on the couch. I haven't had any cheesecake yet (Augie's fault) and I promise not to break it.
FTR: If you have had Morningstar (you know, that fake meat) you can have pudding.
We're still talking about penis right?
I am an equal opportunity blog, penis, no penis, penis lover, no penis lover, real meat, fake meat and even those without blog icons and women who break my couch are allowed.
The great thing about this clubhouse is the diversity. *grin*
Hi Arkie. Have you been there today? There is a new player, I think you have to push play to hear it.
*runs off to Syren's blog*
Woohoo!! Jello shots, penises, peeps and a couch. What a great place! Although, my blog has pictures and will have more soon. Hmmm. So it might be great there too. And Augie's has cheesecake. Hmmm. Now I'm torn.
Oh....I'm jealous of the blog pic. Maybe I need one, except that it would be too techinologically advanced for me.
I also want a blog pic. I even have one picked out. I'm not sure how to do it, though. Well, here goes nothing.
I am NOT going to break your couch.
Ack. I go pick up a pukey kid and come home to this?!?!? Real meat of all kinds, pudding, and no more peeps? Oh this is good. And not good. And .... I think I'm confused.
*takes another drink*
Here some icons. You will have to go to the links and save them to your computers...and of course if you don't like them...tell me what ya like and I will be sure to oblige.

*whiney voice* Syren, waaaah, I'm slightly retarded. I saved it to my pictures but I don't know how to put it in my profile. Please help me. *end whiney voice*
*spank*
*whiney voice*
Syren, I keep getting an error message, saying page not found.
*pouts*
If I can ever see the pic, I do know how to save it to my blog.
*sticks tongue out at Carey*
Who are you sticking your tongue out at? You can't even figure out how to view the fucking thing.
And what does this have to do with my meningitis?
I saw your siggie and it's almost as cool as mine. She must love me the most because mine is the cooooolest. *grin*
Carey, go to your profile, then edit profile, then put the url where the profile picture would go.
Arkie...are you using Google? If you are it should give you a link somewhere. If you put it into a msn search page the picture shows up. You know you will like it.
If you loved me, you would tell me how to view the fucking thing.
And? I thought it was lockjaw, not meningitis. When did it become meningitis?
*lick*
Yeah when did it become meningitis?
I tried Google, MSN search, and Yahoo search, and they all said page cannot be found.
*pout*
LMAO...Arkie, that was meant to say I know you will like it, not you know you will like it...
Sorry got a bitch on my mind. Her stupidness is distracting me.
*spank*
okay...IM me. I cannot put it on the other place, it is too big to load.
meningitis, lockjaw, it's all the same.
Where do I find the URL. *snort*
I told you, you must describe it in detail and s l o w l y.
You can do that for me can't you? *evil grin*
Slow is always good.
Baby, the URL is the link I posted. Copy it, then open your profile, click edit profile, and then scroll down till you see where it says to upload your photo. Put the URL there. It may be to big, if it is, I will fix it for you.
Woo Hoo!

Well carp...I did not mean to delete that...
Seana, new URL...wrong one before...
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/syren026/db622c7b.gif
See how well it works when you give it to me slow. *grin*
There should be a b.gif after that. Lol.
I know. You can have it slow anytime.
Slow is good...
Glad you like it. You too Arkie.
*giggles*
*smooches* to Syren, You're the greatest!
*smooch* to Carey, even if you don't love me.
Thank you sweetie.
*smooch*
You know that I love you Arkie. *smooch*
And thank you again to my sweet Syren. You give the best, um, sigs. *grin*
You are welcome.
I am good at other things too.
Like cleaning.
*spank*
I can't wait to see mine either...but when I try to put it in my profile the message says this,
"The file at the specified URL does not have an acceptable extension (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif)."
Now what?
Holy shite! 120 comments? You're giving out free weed, aren't you? :P
I hope you feel better.
*smoochies*
mm, add .gif
Woo! You know, I was just trying to figure all this stuff out. And? I suck at it. Look at me! I'm a hot chick! Who knew? Thanks so much, syren!
And now everyone can see the template I picked for the blog I don't keep, because really late last night, I hit "Publish" and now it shows up when you click on my blog name. There's still nothing in it, though. I'm too stupid to figure out linking. Good grief.
You all are such posers. Always copying off me. Whatever. :P
Thanks Syren! Except that I can't get it. I get a "page not found" error. :(
Iggy, you have a flag at that other place.
I have to try a new icon, too. Thanks for helping us out Syren.
Meningitis? Did you visit the doc? Just have ur girl hit you again and dislocate it. You should be cured.
*grin*
I'm stupid - I can't figure out where to post the picture I wanna put up. I do the HELLO thingy but it just sends a picture to my site.
*pouty face*
I'd like to point out that mine is still the only penis to appear on this thread.
