Dear Diary: My Inflamed Gums Hurt When I Eat Regular Foods

Today as I eat my regular breakfast of a stir-fried noodles I felt pain in both of my lower and upper gums because probably they are still growing which is a bad news for me because this might be the start of my eating difficulties to the next level which is not being able to eat solid foods.

If my deformed gums weren't getting some kind of pain then it is a fact that they are not growing or the deformity stopped. But Leontiasis is very hard to control due to the fact that the medicine for it is also expensive. So if I would stop my medication my face would grow and grow until maybe it will cause death. But before that is a difficult road to pass before certain death.

My front incisor teeth is actually striking my lower inflamed gums. The gums themselves are not the problem but the bone beneath them. I am worried that in the future I will not be able to eat solid foods anymore. It is just better for me to die than to live not being able to do a basic job of eating.

So for now I will just take my meal replacement milk so that I will not chew and cause anymore pain to my dreaded gums. I wanted to cry but there is no shoulder to cry on, I am just dependent on prayers and the mercy of God.
