I dont think the dentist (she's a she) realized that infections can cause flares and exacerbations in MS. I've noticed a lot of doctors dont exactly understand what MS is and does to people. (like they skipped over that chapter in the Chronic Conditions chapter in their Sick People Textbook.

I got myself a nice bottle of Cephalexin (sp?) I'm a bit miffed that I have to take it FOUR TIMES A DAY!! (eek!) I'm more used to doing the 2 times a day, but I guess maybe she knows what kinds of nastiness lurks inside our teeth and there must be some rule or direction that she has to follow if someone gets their system infected from the goo that's inside our teeth. At least I wont have to take it long, it's 28 pills, so I only have to take it for 7 days. I just hope it doesnt cause me insomnia.

It's causing a headache right now.

I may be a little icky right now, but I'm in a really good mood right now. My brother-in-law got his present I sent him and loved it.

His sewing machine that he had stored with the Air Force got smooshed, and I got my dad to help me replace it for him, (early birthday present) and we got him a much better machine than he had. So, I feel like Santa Claus right now. All excited that he liked his present.
