This.

Only stronger: I HATE DENTISTS VISITS! I have TMJ/arthritis in my jaw (as well as everywhere else since age approx 14) and having someone crank around on my jaw is guaranteed to make me very. UPSET. I leave w/a migraine, tears in my eyes, take some serious pain drugs and go to bed fo the rest of the day/week/life.

I can handle huge pain anywhere in my body (good thing too) EXCEPT from the neck up. So what did The Ruler of The Universe decide to give me? Yup, chronic conditions which = intense pain in the head.

I was lolling pretty hard at your descriptions of teeth-brushing etc, tho, Skeez. Me too, for years! lol ANYTHING to keep from spending one extra minute in dentist's chair! (i also have needle phobia, so you can imagine)
