I never understand doctors who just pretend things don't exist.<br />2. I have always had TMJ pain, but the myasthenia gravis made it more pronounced, because one side of my face is weaker and the other side overcompensates. It's amazing how many things hurt with my supposedly non-painful illness! (Although I clearly have more than one thing; most people with autoimmune disorders do.)

I hadn't thought of cold blended soups, but you're right, vichyssoise could be really nice.The Student-turned-Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506070687255989103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069660946567587305.post-10700819820130089412019-04-16T23:20:14.445-04:002019-04-16T23:20:14.445-04:00Carrot cake was my absolute favorite before going ...Carrot cake was my absolute favorite before going vegan and I haven't had it since then (although I know I could)!

I'm really sorry that you have to deal with yet another issue. While not life threatening it is still another burden and another issue that you still have to deal with. It makes cooking and planning take that much more energy which you are already short on. I'm sorry that you are dealing with that too. And it really sucks when you feel like you are on your own to deal with your own care. Sadly I'm with you on that, not necessarily because my doctors don't care, but more because nobody really seems to have an idea of what the hell fibromyalgia is (and there are still tons of doctors that don't believe it is a thing). I can empathize with your illness causing dental issues as well… I deal with tmj and tons of tooth and jaw pain thanks to mine. I hate that you have to struggle so much and that you don't have doctors that you can trust to give you a solid plan of action. I hope that things will turn around soon and that you will receive some information.<br /><br />If I can think of any recipes that are easy and that fit within the parameters of what you can eat somewhat comfortably I'll make sure to pass them along!Sarah https://www.blogger.com/profile/11492583565520188461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069660946567587305.post-39367468543132059592019-04-16T00:33:57.403-04:002019-04-16T00:33:57.403-04:00Such a tasty lunch!

I’ve swapped in dried apricots for the dates at times too- the key is to soak them well so they’re soft enough to blend easily. Oh, and adding oats and nut butters could be a good way to keep them softer too. <br />I agree absolutely that were the circumstances different there would be more research and options and a lot less oh well and head shaking antipathy. <br /><br />Once cold soups sound appealing vichyssoise could be a good option that isn’t acidic and can be very satisfying, fairly easy to make too. <br />Ttrockwood Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069660946567587305.post-1205477623855491942019-04-15T22:51:34.290-04:002019-04-15T22:51:34.290-04:00That sucks.

It is awful that the doctors don't even care about some of them. <br /><br />Do you like carrot cake? I have a really good recipe for carrot cake balls I could send it you like?
