Seriously?
Hi. My name is Ali, I’m 26 years old and I’m…teething?
Yep.Pretty.Much.
My wisdom teeth are coming in full force and MAN do they hurt! I totally understand why the boys are cranky, non-sleeping, non-eating miserable messes when they are getting teeth!
Why do I still have my wisdom teeth, you ask?
Apparently I had a REALLY good orthodontist. He did such a GOOD job expanding my palate, that there is room for all four to come in fine. Isn’t that just GREAT?
So instead of having about 4 days of misery and pain meds to get them pulled, I get to deal with months of this crap. My mouth is swollen and almost itchy feeling where the teeth are coming through. Chewing sucks, and it’s super temperature sensitive back there. I’m in hell.
While I am not focusing on the misery in my mouth however, I have been almost put to tears over the fact that my babies have to go through this. Jimmy is starting the teething process, but isn’t to the super fun part yet,thank goodness. Chase has pretty much all his teeth, he is currently cutting his two year molars and once those are in we are done!
I will never bitch about them being grumpy jerks again when teeth are to blame. I’m sure Jim can attest to the fact that I am currently not a peach to live with!
Anyone have any good drugs?














800mg of ibuprofen every 4-6 hours! That's 4 OTC @ a time. Sweet Jesus wisdom teeth are effing miserable. I dealt with mine popping in & out for probably 10 years. 10 rotten years. So yes, I understand the babies' pain, too.
