Hello to all of my old friends!!! Boy have I missed you!!

[Tmjpain29]

Hello everyone! I wanted to (re) introduce myself on this WONDERFUL (NEW AND IMPROVED) SITE!  I haven't talked to any of my old dear friends from the forums since the old site was up (the prior site ending in ".com"), and SOME of you MAY remember me from WAY BACK in the day on the good ole DB site (among a few others that no longer exist). Lol. So I am WAY out of the loop now and have JUST NOW found the new site!! Which makes me SUPER STOKED to reconnect to all my old pals and hopefully make some new ones!! :I've tried to keep my same/similar username all across the board so to speak over the past decade lol. Hoping some of my old buddies are still around! Lol. Hope to hear from y'all soon! 

Love & Light,

TMJ

Welcome aboard. Of course, I remember you. Unfortunately i was riverstyx with that insane Evil Tester whom bought over the last ioplist.com. He took monies apparently from Pink. Then, he banned fifty to one hundred of us, the ethical ones, on the day he allowed Vogue Rx to buy the site.

He has been taken down. so, we created another forum in 2015.

Good to see you again. Oh, our rules are very different from Evil Testers as we get ne'er do wells trying to take us down. or destroy our vendors. http://ioplist.org/showthread.php?tid=1

Very nice to see you again. We consider ourselves family here. Welcome to the family my friend.

Hello Tmjpain29 . Welcome to the forum.

I hope you are able to connect with old friends and make new ones .

You will find this a special place with many special people.

Thank you Charon!! Yes, it's been pretty terrible honestly... I had always hoped that the BIG surgery (upper & lower jaw and joint replacement with titanium screws) would FOR SURE be the end of my CHRONIC long term TMJ/facial/head/neck pain, but it's made my pain skyrocket to a level I could have never imagined even existed!

Now that all of the pain docs are being closely monitored by the DEA, they seem scared to act like actual doctors with actual educations who USED to be able to make their own decisions WITH their patients... Now it's SO HARD to find a specialists who are willing to treat me because I have pain that exists "above the neck"!!! Even with nearly 15 years of medical history, current X-rays, over half a dozen TMJ related surgeries alone (in order from least invasive to the joint replacement), in my small town area, it's been impossible for me to find someone who doesn't take my money and THEN tell me I should probably see someone else. It's practically robbery! Arrgghhh.

Hello Mad Max! Thank you so much!! :

I hope so as well! I've already ran into a very dear friend (Charon) and I did not expect to see someone I knew so quickly!! That feels so awesome to know that my buddies are still around!! And the friends I've made over the years are the support I needed at the times I have needed it, from the BEST people!! And I love to try my best to offer support to others in return as well! Im very excited to be here! Thank you so much and it's very nice to meet you too!!

We have awesome members here, tmj. You will love them when u get to know them, and vice versa.

Its been a God forsaken year for all of us whom suffer with chronic pain and chronic anxiety.

Hang in there, precious. We have some viable and excellent sources here. The best way is to get in your fifty posts so u may see into our restricted area.

The BLABBERMOUTHS elsewhere have made our lives a living hell.

So sorry it is still so severe, my friend. I won't mind if u make a few more than five posts a day, tmj. I have known you thru many a forum.

[Tmjpain29]

Awwwww!! Thank you so much Charon!! You are AWESOME as ALWAYS!!

I know it's been so rough!! The blabbermouths you mentioned have ruined it for the rest of us (multiple times too!) and that sucks! It takes ample time and energy to build a new forum and reestablish it with more and more rules, all because of others rule breaking! That takes some major patience and I'm happy you are up for the job Charon! Lol. Not sure if many would have the patience!
