I went to the new dentist on Monday morning...had x-ray taken.....didn't show much except a small black line....he said it was probably a bite problem and it would cost $45 to fix which Medicaid [my state insurance] would not pay for....so I said it would have to wait till next month.....Monday in middle of night...Screaming with same toothache pain!!....Took 2 of my knee-pain med tabs, 2 extra strenghth tylenol....over an hour to ease of enough to sleep.....So I called dentist back and saw him yesterday and he decided to re do the filling in the bottom side of sore tooth....told to keep taking same stuff for pain.....slept through night....a bit sore this am plus cheek swollen so gargled with hot salt water as recommended and same dosages of previous night....eased off enough to take a nap....woke up at 3 pm with just a bit of toothache and cheek swelling had eased....went to T's at 6 pm...stopped at Taco Bell for 2 soft tacos as I had not been able to eat much since last Saturday night...a bit sore when I left T's.....Stopped to see old friends.....around 7:30 pm..toothache started up again and I didn't have the Tylenol with me but when I left at 9 pm I took two of the tramadol....got home a bit after 9:30 pm....Screamed all the way home!!!! Took 2 extra strength Tylenol waited....no relief so I flossed and then did several swishes of hot salt water which had also been recommended.....It's almost midnite and the PAIN is still the Screaming type!!! but a little bit less and my cheek is swollen again....THIS IS CRAP!!! I will call dentist at 9 am [don't know when I'll get to sleep!!] and insist on seeing him again....I really think that I have an infection as when he removed the filling he said there was some softness down there and he said he had dug it all out....I think he should have given me some antibiotics....What I've taken for PAIN is just not working 3 hours after I first took the 2 tabs of Tramadol!!! I feel like asking a neighbor to drive my van forward as I have attached a string to my tooth and yank the sucker out!!!! He's going to have to do something major!!!!! I have also put extra strength Anbesol on it and it's supposed to give immediate relief!!! Nothing is getting better:cussing: I really don't need this!!!! My gum above the sore tooth is also very sore!! This is now gotton rather traumatic!!!!.....SEEKING THE PEACE

Ouch wildfire... I hate dental issues myself.

:frown:This past week has been pretty much absolute hell!!! After being up all night Thursday crying and crying hugging my stuffed bunny as the pain hung on all night...out of sheer exhaustion...I fell asleep at 6AM...after taking more of Ex-tra strength tylenol again....When I woke later in the day I called the dentist to get in to see him....only to be told they are closed on Fridays....CRAP!!!....made appointment for Monday....Later around 7 pm the pain in my mouth increased once again...OUCH!!! So about 10pm I decided to go to the local ER as I did not want to spend the whole night up in agony again....I was told that I had a virus infection [that day I had found two very sore spots on my upper gum] It was from the herpes virus but not the one transmitted by sex...They gave me a rinse to anesthetize my gum and sent some home with me along with 4 tabs of vicodin...one to take when I got home....they also started me on an antibiotic as my cheek was swollen and red....I took the vicodin when I got home and swished my mouth again.....NOTHING got better!!...Enormous pain again ALL night AGAIN!!!! So I was up and crying into my bunny once again all night till 4am when I took the 2nd vicodin.....then finally got to sleep....forgot to take vicodin at an even spaced time sooo the pain got away from me AGAIN....and I was up most of Sat. night....what a BITCH!!!:boxing: The next night I got to sleep at 2am....slowly have been recovering....Unfortunately all this physical pain started some flashbacks and nightmares...Whenever I'm in physical pain my nervous system goes haywire and the PTSD symptoms increase....Today I was quite a bit better but had a few suicidal thoughts transverse my mind which is no picnic but I don't act on them anymore...I forced myself to do the laundry that had needed to be done for 3 days....I hate being alone at times like these...Really feeling depressed....will see my T tonight at 6pm....I'm going to try and get some sleep:sleeping:....SEEKING THE PEACE

So I am unclear. You were seen right? You are coming back out? I am happy to see you did other things to cope. Please keep getting better. Hubs has been trying to get me to get a cavity worked on for over a year. I am too scared as the pain is intermittent enough (when I bite) to not make me go through what you have yet. What did they have to do? Or do they need to wait for the infection to clear first?

I had my date with my husband tonight. I've actually been looking forward to it all week! Unfortunately I've had low back pain/spasms since Monday morning (could hardly walk on Monday and had to miss work) so we weren't able to stay out long. But it was nice to get out and spend some 'us' time together. This is something we need to keep up...even if it's just a walk in the park.

Reminders of why we became a couple (and hey, who knew...it wasn't to fuss about kids and dirty socks on the floor!) are definately a good thing.

...... and, most especially when one claim there's not a freakin' thing wrong with them. Ouch. Yikes & a Scream too, to express myself fully here tonight, and on the subject of marriages.

This Was My Day.

hurting, but still goingonhope,

...........except I might just have to alter my world, and that of our children, and all our dreams unless the bull crap soon ends for good.

Hope, guess I am a bit lost here... But it doesn't sound well. I hope things improve.

Me I am a wreck and a half today. Last night... Tonight... Bec warned me but I did not listen well. I over extended myself.

At first it was the kids and hubs sick. Then I got sick a few days ago. And even though sick I went to two stores one being a big grocery store and was in it for 3 hours yesterday. Cleaned out the fridge and cabinets the hubs and the teen trashed while I was gone 3 weeks today. I have been cooking regularly and going nuts as everything is misplaced. I need order.

Lost my voice, patches on my nose are numb. Nose messed up and cannot breathe. Headache, muscle-aches, dizzy, tired, sneezing. So in turn I get panic attacks. I found my self grinding teethe last night from stress and had a bad toothache from it where I have a neglected cavity (so tiny but big pain) so then I cannot get the whole dentist worst case scenarios out of my head. All started from my stuffy nose. Paranoia if I go and they numb up I won't feel my tongue and then choke on it. I know strange but real bad fear of mine. I choke on my tongue during attacks trying to swallow so in my mind 10 times worse if numb.

I am just worn out and sick. I did not schedule getting sick or the family doing it yet lol! I feel I already need another vacation. Or try to slow down. But everyone seems to quickly be eating up I am doing more than usual and feel bad if I quit.

Any who, I am taking a big leap. Even with my phobia over meds I am resorting to nose spray tonight to try to not have the "cannot breathe sensation" and try to cut off an attack at the pass. I just need some sleep badly right now.

I hope your both feeling better soon!

Veiled,


Hope you are feeling better soon....

Wen

How I was then thinking and feeling has improved greatly and fast. I'm not in control of other people, like my husb. so therefore I can't fix him, but we did talk.

THX bec and veiled.

Veiled, you certainly sound very ill. I do hope you can and get the chance to slow way down, find some rest and relaxation in it all and feel much better soon.

Hope
