I have to go back to the Dentist tomorrow, the pain is horrid again. The back tooth next to the bottom one he took out is loose, it is a capped or crown one - whatever.

They think I may have a dry socket on the bottom one. Whatever that is, and what the hell do they do for that, I'm afraid to ask.

This has been one hell of a long haul from sinusitis they thought, then cat scan of sinuses, 10 days of antibiotics, 7 hrs in the ER, 6 days of steriods to break the cycle of migraines from my PCP, to penicillin from the two teeth extracted from the Dentist.

My TMJ is really bad since the extractions too. None of my pain meds work.

Ice does help.

In between jaw/headaches I get done what I can.

Good thing I like yogart, soup, ice water, iced coffee, lemonade, ice cream, trying to keep the jaw rested.

Even taking Bayer aspirin and Excedrin Migraine. I am desperate at this point.

Sorry to whine, pass the cheese, can't eat it, but it sounds good. No wine for me either, afraid to have even one drink, might set off a headache.

Hugs, Nikko
