    OP are you also posting under the username TORTURED?
    If so how can you explain the statement you made?


    Quote (I was really purposely melodramatic in my post to exaggerate how I am - I am extremely anxious though.

    My point was that I wanted to get enough benefits to rent a bedsit, where I would get a monthly internet connection and do some work online to build up a sizable income, with which I would eventually fund my treatment and leave benefits ASAP.)


    If not I would suggest you PM him as you seem to have the same condition, be the same age and have both had your lives changed overnight after an awkward sleep.

    First things first - Sleeping in awkward position is NOT going to cause any injury to your jaw. The jaw muscles are powerful enough to crack a hard nut and you have to punched or involved in a Road traffic collision or other physical trauma to have the jaw deofrmed.
    Jaw normally does slip to help with eating and you may be having exaggeration - which i have never seen and read.
    From the sound of things - you do have anxiety issues and possible hallucinations. Mate May i suggest you get back to your GP to help with treatment rather than thinking of claiming benefits.

    it sounds you are just making things up. Another one trying to milk the system

    PS: Am a medic and have worked with lots of max-fax. Try a different symptom next time.

    Perhaps you could post a selfie because honestly I googled what you suggested and the images that came up weren't really very bad at all-it seemed to just be a slightly lopsided jawline which I wouldn't really have noticed.I'm very overweight and have lordosis(crooked spine) and yes I get the odd remark from kids normally about being a fat cow, but honestly most people remark on how young I look and how pretty my eyes are(without sounding vain) so I try to take no notice of the nasty remarks.I bet most people on here wouldn't notice whatever you think is wrong with your face.
