@Blue_Bird - My teeth are bad from 2 things -grinding at night (can't keep a nightguard in, spit it out in the middle of the night, even the expensive kind made at the dentist's office) and also anorexia - purge type. I didn't restrict as much as an average person with anorexia it's just I purged a LOT through exercise. I'm talking 4-5-6 hr. a day exercising. So yeah, I got to a really bad point, and I was told that lack of proper nutrients can leach your teeth of the vitamins & minerals they need. One pyschiatrist also was of the opinion that the tooth clenching/grinding came on as a result of the ED too; I don't know how much credence to put into that as I have always been very anxious, from the time I was a little girl. I don't suppose that type of ED does quite as much damage as purging through vomiting, but still it did enough. And I already had a lot of cavities as a girl before the ED even came on.

I didn't get the best sleep last night. Woke up at 2:20 AM this morning. Realized I forgot to take my night meds but figured it was too late; I have a dentist appt. at 10 AM, then my daughter has one right after me. I went for a long walk, too long really because it was cold out - 37F, and I have Raynaud's in my fingers that is very sensitive to the cold. I wore gloves, but it still wasn't enough. Then, it was like I felt like I had to torture myself to keep walking when I knew I should come home because of my hands. Showering even the cold water felt so hot on my fingers, and I could barely move them. I was half afraid I'd have to show up at urgent care with Raynaud's which would be a stupid reason to have to go if I had just taken care of myself properly but thankfully I was able to avoid it.

I am having some problems warming up this morning. H got us this new "smart" thermostat (and AC in summer) that is supposed to save us some percentage on the electric bill where the electric company automatically adjusts your thermostat to use less energy. The electric company claims you'll never notice the difference. Hah! That's a lie. Our house was built in the 1950s, and the insulation isn't the best, meaning cold seeps in around doors & windows. I am really HATING this new thermostat and wish we could go back to the old one. And it's so "smart" the dumb thing won't even switch automatically from AC to heat and vice versa when you need it to; you have to manually change it. Even our dumb thermostat switched automatically!
