I am once again baffling doctors.  This time I dare call him a “dr”  I went to my normal dentist yesterday, which was a complete waste of time.  She referred me back to the dr who did my root canal and gave me a prescription for vicodin which I will never use.   He called end of business day yesterday and said someone would call to schedule me an appt to be seen.  They  called this morning and wanted me in at 11:30.   I was supposed to work at church til noon…so I went to do some mandatory things at church then went to pick up Dean so he could take a long lunch to keep the boys while I went to another pointless appointment.   the dentist today said that the pain should not be a result of the root canal.  He gave me a prescription, an antibiotic, and said if it doesnt help I’ll need to call my regular dentist back to get the tooth pulled.  He said he didnt know what the pain was from, and said I shouldnt be having pain in that tooth.

i have come to grips w/ the fact a neurologist can find nothing and will send me to a different kind of dr to find out if another body system is causing the problems I am having.  I can NOT understand how two dentists cant figure out what is causing me severe TOOTH pain.   Aside from tooth pain I feel crappy and my face is tingling all over.  Sounds like I may be ending up back at a normal doctors appt to get a referral to see the neurologist.     I am not ready to go back down this road although ignoring symptoms for too long may be the main problem to begin…….

I was grouchy already, feeling crappy is doing that to me this week…I can deal w/ most crappy days, but I’m not doing so well handling high pain days as I’ve had this week.    I really want a nap but it’s not going to happen.  Currently got my own kiddos and my friend’s kid, so no napping here.

Happy Freaking Valentines Day!
