I'll think I'll deal with it, and self-medicate.

Well yeah, but bf told me I'd lose more $ buying an EGR valve (even without labor, since he'd put it in) than I'm going to lose in mileage. Tried to clean it out with some expensive seafoam, but that only did the trick for a week.
I've put the scanner in a couple times since though, just because how the hell would I know if another issue arose.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics
Oh, an EGR valve, that is completely different than a valve. On an engine, if you refer to simply a valve, it implies that you're talking about an intake or exhaust valve. The valves that open to let charge into the cylinder and open to to let exhaust escape from the cylinder.

Pfft well I don't know these things. Jake explained it but I was zoning out.

They did not put a second man in the box to serve the other one, so no way to get back to even strength.
Typical response, blame it on Edina. The only Edina people involved was one player in jersey and helmet only on the bench and a couple parents in the stands. It was the NoDakers who were getting away with murder while poor EP and Bloomington players (and one Mound player) were getting jobbed on the ice.
The whole thing started when the Grand Forks goalie put his stick between the legs of an EP player and lifted and pulled. He writhed on the ice for a good five minutes. No call. It was a Bloomington (Kennedy) player who had a semi-break late in a tie game and got his stick slashed out of his hand with no call, then he had another break in OT and got taken down from behind, no call.
bb,
Sooner or later your employer may notice you self-medicating with whiskey, you know.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics
I actually very rarely drink on work nights. I will occasionally have a beer/drink/glass of wine with dinner, but that's about it. I actually don't drink as much on weekends either. This weekend was the first that I drank both Friday and Saturday nights, in a long time. And that was because we were celebrating my gf's birthday with her friends on Friday night, and we were at my cousin's wedding on Saturday night.
Suck it up during the week, self-medicate on weekends.

Excellent plan, let's start now. Holy Balls crazy monday morning here, then to top it off, I find out Im training the new engineer that started today. Thank god he's been in HR crap all morning so I've been able to get stuff done. Luckily he's a Tech alum so if they'll give me a degree, he cant be that bad.

One thing to remember is that TMJ can come about because of numerous different sources. I spent a lot of time dealing with back and neck issues, not things related specifically to my jaw. I spent time on those things too, but stresses from bad posture can play a large part in TMJ, thus the back and neck attention. (And the chin tuck thing seem stupid, but it does help for some reason. I'd also add stretching your neck muscles, using your left arm, grab the right side of your head, and pull it over some to stretch your neck, hold for 15 seconds, then reverse sides. Another is to grab the back of your head, with your palm over your scalp, and pull you your head down towards your armpit, again hold for 15 seconds and then switch. Also, rub your jaw muscles next to your ears in a downward motion, applying decent pressure, but not hurting yourself.
Also, something I didn't see listed is to keep your tongue planted on the roof of your mouth, and to hold your fingers behind your jaw, keeping a slight forward pressure. Then open your jaw and repeat 20 times.
All the while you're doing this, you should keep good posture. Posture is very important to all of this. And don't sit at your desk for too long without moving.
These should all help.
I have TMJ. If you have it, here's a couple sites that contain a few of the exercises done to account for it: http://www.nismat.org/ptcor/tmj and some other information about treatment: http://www.tmjhope.org/10-tmj-tips-physical-therapist/

There's nothing that can really be done to a finger by a doctor unless it's something extreme. At most, your doctor will tape your one finger to a brace (basically, a stick) or tape it to an adjacent finger. Go like that for a couple weeks, and voila, you're guy who taped his fingers and miskeyed a bunch of reports for a few weeks.
You're supposed to kick the ball, not slap it. That's problem one. Problem two is that you're playing kickball in the first place.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics
Thanks. This must be it, because I tried a few of those simple neck stretching suggestions and it immediately felt better.
So go ahead and tell it.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics
Had TMJ. Was corrected with surgery. Well, I didn't have the surgery for the TMJ. I had it because my overbite came back after 4 years of braces. Went to another orthodontist (mom worked for him so he did my braces for free) who told me my bite was off and that was causing the overbite and TMJ (my jaw clicked when I opened and closed) and the only way to properly correct it was to have jaw surgery. Found a good maxiofacial (sp?) surgeon who told me my lower jaw was disproportionately smaller than my upper jaw and when I would bite, my lower jaw caused my upper to protrude because the bite was off. So, after I found out my insurance would cover it, I decided to have the surgery. They broke my lower jaw, slid it forward and set it in place with wires. Then they wired me shut for 8 1/2 weeks. Well, not really wires, but ridiculously strong elastics, plus a splint set in place between my upper and lower teeth. I should show you guys the pictures.

I don't think mine is that bad.
Finalizing the gf's birthday present, so I can give it to her tonight when we go out for dinner. After tonight I can tell all you lodgers what it is, so then you'll finally realize what a lucky girl my gf is.
(I've still only spent $15 on it)
I know someone that had the exact same thing done. I didn't think it was for this TMJ thing, but her problem sounded exactly what you described yours as.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics
A few professionals have advised me to have a similar procedure. I started seeing Orthodontists and other specialists when I was in third grade and I had braces and a few more things until I was a senior in high school. To be blunt, I hate Orthodontists and to this point I have not noticed any discomfort so I have politely passed on having my jaw broke and moved and set and wired shut............Maybe having my jaw wired shut would be a good but painfiul way to lose a few pounds.........
