Thank you very Bryanna. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your advice. I have not felt well since the root canal. It seems odd to me that it is my mouth and I am willing to pay to have the tooth removed and I am having a hard time finding someone to do it. I understand what you say about the big kahunas. I guess it's a good thing that I am stubborn. One way or another, this tooth is coming out, ligament and all. If I am wrong and my other symptoms don't clear up afterward, oh well. What I am not willing to do it let it fester and continually feel worse and worse. OK, I am done now . What you are telling me goes along with my gut instinct. Again, thank you for you input. You are helping me and a lot of other people immensely.
