I leave on Sat. I contacted Dr Peppard's office (occlusion specialist) to find out the time line for beginning the splint therapy. The 4 weeks I'm home will be enough time to make the impressions, have another consultation, and begin.
I quit taking the muscle relaxants because he said to take them for 2 weeks. Almost immediately, I feel my jaws tighten up, hurt, a little dizziness return, but not the headaches. It is all related to my bite that is screwed up and my jaws not being able to find a comfortable home.
So as Bruce said (next door neighbor and dentist), unless I want to spend the next 30 years of my life dealing with this I need to fix it now. And so I shall. At least I trust the expertise of these docs. I hope my trust is not misplaced.
