Today, I've been yawning every few minutes. Which would be fine, except every couple of yawns my jaw dislocates, and I have to put it back in place. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I yawned and broke a front tooth. Yes, you read that correctly. I did a big yawn, my jaw suddenly hurt, I felt something crack and half my tooth fell into my lasagna. FML
Today, I sneezed my jaw out of socket. Yes, this is possible. FML
Today, after finishing work and collecting my bag from my locker, I yawned as my manager came to ask me a question. She yelled at me for yawning. She then told others that I have a chronic yawning problem at work and need medical intervention. I can't even yawn once after a long tiring day on my own time. FML
Today, after having my jaw wired shut for 2 months, I finally got to eat. During the first bite of my sandwich I pulled my jaw out of place. FML
Today, I was violently sick. There was so much vomit forcing itself out that I dislocated my jaw. I continued throwing up with a dislocated jaw for an hour or so. FML
Today, I learned that one of the reasons I may be getting migraines every day is because I subconsciously clench my jaw a lot due to stress. To try and have it hurt less, I’ve gone back to wearing my plastic retainer during the day, but it makes my gag reflux act up. FML
Today, I unthinkingly did something dangerous and now I have a painful kink in my neck. What dangerous thing did I do? I yawned. Twice. FML
Today, I woke up to the most excruciating pain in my jaw. No dentist that takes my insurance has any openings, and the one doctor I can see to get antibiotics isn’t in. FML
Today, while enjoying breakfast, my teeth took a chunk out of my cheek. This happens regularly, even when I'm talking. Both my doctor and dentist have no idea why, and I'm in utter agony. FML
Today, I was skiing in Vermont for the third day straight. Since I was getting very little sleep, on the top of the chairlift I let out a huge yawn, pulling a muscle in my face. As I slid down the ramp, everyone saw me thrashing my head around and making funny, painful faces as I fell down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Been there, done hat, got the t-shirt, this is with an exercise routine. Genetic disorders don't tend to give a shit that your doing everything that's supposed control your disorder.

the left hand side of my jaw dislocates all the time, but the right side is well grounded, so it just resets itself, which is great because my jaw will pop out of place if I do something as simple as chewing tough food

This is my post, surprised to see it made it. Not that I'm complaining. The dislocations were due to the genetic disorder I have called Ehlers-Danlos. I've seen around thirty different doctors for the disorder in general, and five for the jaw issue alone. Unfortunately, none of them could think of anything that would serve as preventative measures, and all of them agreed that exercise of my jaw would probably be a bad idea, as it could leave me unable to eat if an exercise damaged something. That said, it's stuck as one of the things I have to deal with since nothing can really be done about it, outside of a jaw sling for support on the worst days.
