Disappointing Day

It took almost 2 hours to make the 20 mile trip into the heart of DC and that was without rain. Thankfully it didn't rain. Can you imagine what that would have done to the trip? Anyway, we made it and I got my handful of minutes with the doctor.

You can't imagine my extreme disappointment when he told me he doesn't think what's going on with my jaw is contributing to my migraines. He says my disc is displaced and that it is very common. Sometimes causing pain and sometimes not. I don't understand. My jaw and head pain always go hand in hand. When I have a bad migraine I have a super painful jaw and vice versa. Neither ever happens alone. How can the jaw have nothing to do with it?

I'm crestfallen and want to just cry. Of course I can't because it hurts too much to cry. I'm not sure what to do next. I was so positive addressing this jaw issue would provide me some relief. I don't want this to be my life. What else could it be? Honestly, what else could it be? None of the preventive medications have worked. Doesn't that have to mean there is something else contributing? Oh this is so frustrating! I want answers and every time I turn to another idea I come up empty.

Boo!
