Thank you ladies.
Struggling bad with mental health at the moment.
I wear a mouthguard at night because I grind my teeth. I've actually split it at the back now. And my gums where I know I grind are inflamed, sore and bleeding, even though I'm wearing my mouthguard. I'm taking 2mg diazepam at bedtime and that's still happened.
I know from that alone that things are bad.
Anyway, been doing salt water mouth washes and had to get liquid ibuprofen for the swelling I can't swallow anything bigger than a very small pill.
I was out for my run today and stopped to stroke a kitty cat. It's the first living being I've touched in 3 weeks
