I'm paralyzed by fear and depression. Spoke to lawyers office today suggesting skull xray and maybe mri to see what it shows. Little gun shy of dentists now tbh.

Still have to finish this g**damn tx since I prepaid. Keep hoping things will settle down. Costs for testing scaring me, since I'm barely above the poverty line.

I thank everyone for listening. Scared a DO might relocate my jaw back where it was popping. Thinking of accipuncture .

I'll probably have to pull back here, but I appreciate the care.

ETA: No, the dentist is acting like I'm nuts. I don't borrow trouble and I don't want to be a trouble maker. I just wanted my good tx to continue, and not have such a shocking aggressive touch performed on me
