For some reason I just saw your post here. I guess my notifications are not working? In any event, thanks so much for saying this! It does seem (even to me sometimes) that I am losing my mind over this tooth at times. So, although I'm truly very sorry for your suffering, I'm glad there's a place here for us all to come for acknowledgement and answers.

I really hope your extraction went well. It does sound like you and I are in a very similar situation. All of the dentists I've seen act like pulling my tooth is the most horrible thing I could do; no one seems to even consider that I've had non-stop pain from that tooth since December. I will have to find your other posts to see what your exact situation is, but I hope the extraction brings an end to your pain!

Thanks again!
