Default Anyone ever have this happen after dental work?

Has anyone ever had a flare or exacerbation after dental work?

I mentioned in another post that I went to my regular doctor and he gave me a (supposedly) better antibiotic today. I've taken one about 2 or 3 hours ago, and now the right side of my cheek is numb, and so is the right side of my upper and lower lips.

Oh, and now the right side of my jaw hurts. Not too badly, but enough to be really annoying.

I'm waiting for a neuro to call me back.

I also feel really warm, and my right foot is more numb now.

I just feel like crap and am really worried now that I'm getting a flare.

Oh yay! Neuro just called me back...(that was quick!)

The neuro (not my regular one) said that I should just relax tonight, and call them in the morning and that they're probably going to want to hook me up to the solumedrol for a couple of days. (oh carp! not looking forward to that)

He said unless I start feeling some paralysis, the numbness isnt going to hurt me, it'll just drive me batty.

I cant wait till 830am now. I just want all this stupid MS carp to stop for a bit. I'm not happy about this, and now I'm going to be scared to get any more dental work done because it seems like that's what's set this off.
