Glennine's Story Pt 3
In this first-person narrative, the speaker recounts a history of severe, chronic headaches that began during college and intensified during their party years, attributing them to neck and head pressure. They describe frequent dizziness, nausea, and all‑night pain that disrupted daily life. Seeking relief, they consulted multiple dentists and underwent various TMJ interventions, including appliances and jaw repositioning, which they characterize as temporary “Band‑Aids.” The speaker also used an NTI (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition) device for seven years, noting that it broke annually and required self‑repair. Ultimately, by their mid‑20s, the cumulative burden of these ineffective treatments led them to abandon the device, highlighting ongoing frustration with inadequate dental solutions for chronic facial pain.
