I'm literally in pain right now and not a thing I can do.

If I eat whatever the fuck is wrong with my jaw (cracked tooth or cavity) starts throbbing from the chewing action, in addition to coming on for no reason at all. vision-blurred-waves-of-nausea levels of pain. Enough that I'm alternating between laughter and almost tears.

I've downed four aspirin and it's still just barely enough WITH the numbing gel.

Got lock jaw something aweful.

Barely convinced a dentists office, which is supposed to be closed (and cancelled all it's appointments due to corona), to come in during quarantine. But thats monday. Dont kno how I'll make it. They do payment plans but I'm flat broke because I decided to pursue programming right when all this fucking bullshit went down.

And all I can think of while im typing this is the pain.

And fuck me I cant do weed because my backup plan if I fail at coding is the military.

And this stray dog that the neighbors 'adopted' but leave outside WONT STOP FUCKING BARKING.

Fuck me. Just kill me now. Do it.

Gonna go watch comedy because I read a research paper that says genuine laughter raises pain threshold by up to 10%.

    Booooooooy! I feel you so bad. I had to cancel dentist too about a month ago when shit went south and I'm just praying to the gods that my teeth don't start acting up until I get to see a doc.

    I'd usually manage the pain with brufen, but WHO doesn't recommend it with covid going around (apparently it makes covid symptoms worse)

    Stay alive, ok? Also, warm towel may ease the pain.

    I feel you too bro. I got very bad tooth rage when I took my actual job.

    With medication and pain trew up 2 times at my first day.

    It has lasted 3 week and after my appontment to the dentist, I got the worst pain I ever felt in my life for a full night.

    I was so tired of screaming and pushing walls that this actually made me fell asleep.

    Mouth pain is something else. Just fast and swish warm whiskey.

    Hey congrats on the service. Must have been a wild ride.

    I don't smoke but the pain was bad enough I was considering finding someone who does.

    Got ibuprofen 600mg and as long as I mostly don't eat anything, that combine with not using my jaw too much makes the pain tolerable most of the day.

    @M1sf3t I'm crazy but not marine levels of crazy.

    I'm still made of meat, unlike marines who by a process of quasi-religious transubstantiation (and indoctrination) are converted from mere men into self propelled sandbags.

    Absolutely part of the reason for fixing my teeth before taking the plunge.

    @M1sf3t I don't understand why the marines, the only constitutional branch of the damn military, are so underfunded.

    Glad you made it out alive to be talking today about your trip overseas. And I'm glad you didn't take any losses.

    How much time you spend over there if you don't mind my asking?

    @jeeper yes I did, thanks.
    Infected and cracked wisdom tooth. Have to get it pulled next week. Apparently they can't pull it till the infection is clear so I'm on antibiotics and ibuprofen for now.
