I know even a change of one degree in my temp sends sx into overdrive. I hope the tylenol helps. Feel better.

I felt better this morning. Foot is still numb, but not as deeply numb. I think I might have to get used to that sensation tho.

I think the antibiotics that my regular doctor gave me the other day have started working on whatever was causing me problems in my mouth.

I just got back from the dentist, she was checking my mouth to see if there was any infection in there, and she didnt see any sign of it. Said that the antibiotics must be working now because she didnt see anything.

We did notice that two of the teeth she worked on last week somehow got fused together when she was putting the composite fillings in them. She fixed that for me, and now my mouth doesnt hurt like it did. She said that maybe that was part of the problem.

She looked at the teeth she worked on, and the lower ones that still need work, and she said that it seems like the pain and sensitivity might just be normal irritation after having dental work (and having two teeth fused together for a week) She did think that I might be grinding my teeth at night, so that could have something to do with the problem.

I think there was some infection in there and in my lymph nodes of my throat, because I'd been waking up really really warm and feverish feeling all weekend until this morning.

I still have the numbness in my foot, but it does feel like it's starting to not be so bad as it was (or I'm getting used to it) I'm guessing the neuro was right yesterday when he said I was having a pseudo-exacerbation.

Hopefully whatever's been happening is starting to resolve itself.

Except for my foot still being numb, I feel a lot better than I had all weekend. I have a headache, but I think that's from just having a dentist poking at my teeth to see if she could find a problem.

The headache could be because I just found out how much it would cost to straighten my teeth with Invisalign (plastic covers over the teeth that straighten crooked teeth) Invisalign is cheaper than regular braces, but geeze, still really expensive...over $5000!!...regular braces are even more expensive!!! I think I'll stick with the two crooked teeth for now...at least I'm getting my teeth healthier now. (4yrs of neglecting to see a dentist apparently does a lot of damage)
