Default I feel sick today

I have felt kind of off for about 2 or 3 days.

I had dental work on wednesday, and I think it has something to do with feeling sick.

I had to have 3 fillings replaced because the fillings were actually cracking my teeth. (I actually have to have 12 fillings replaced, but I'm just not up to doing that all at once) I dont think the amalgam they removed has much to do with why I feel sick. I think I'm sick because when the dentist got the filling drilled out, there was infection inside a couple of the teeth.

I think somehow, that infection got into my system and is what is making me feel sick now.

My right foot is numb, mostly on the right side of the foot (pinky toe and the toe next to it are the most numb) The numbness runs up the outside of my leg. It feels like half my leg is numb and tingly. This could also be being caused because I have pain in my tailbone. The neuro said that I could actually have a pinched nerve that's causing the numbness and that it might not be an MS issue at all.

I called my neuro and told him what was going on. He suggested that I call my regular doctor and get an antibiotic. So I did, and the nurse got snippy and told me to call the dentist. I told her I was doing what the neuro told me to do. So, I at least made an appointment to have my tailbone examined (ohyay, just what I wanted to do..show my butt to my doctor...great, monday is going to be an exciting day for me)

I ended up calling my dentist (who is not in the office today) and asked for an antibiotic. I'm waiting for the pharmacy to tell me it's ready.

I just feel nasty and want to whine and complain about it to someone.

Last night, I think I had the worst fatigue sensation I've had in awhile. All I did was go to Super Target with my parents to grocery shop. I still feel exhausted this morning.

geeze, MS really f-ing sucks!
