Your Discomfort is My Pain

I have pain.  Y’all can call it whatever the heck you want.  But it’s way more than discomfort.  Luckily, it’s not constant, and 3 aspirin gets rid of it.  And, yes, it’s worth it.

I’m reminded of how some women describe labor as discomfort or uncomfortable.  Bullshit - they’re called labor pains for a reason.

Chewing on the chewy helps, sucking on my teeth helps, and putting pressure on the aligner with my thumb or finger helps too.
