Hi DiMarie,

I went to the dentist around 6 months ago and had to have around 8 needles to numb my mouth. Usually it only takes around 1 - 2. The dentist couldnt believe that I could still feel it. It freaked me out a bit because it took a whole day for the numbness to go away. I take valium and lyrica, could this be the cause??? Its never been mentioned to me by any dentist / Dr. Then again half of the info on here my Dr's dont seem to know about!

I also have high blood pressure one day and normal the next. Whenever I visit my local Dr he has made a note to check it everytime due to the inconsistency of the readings. He doesnt know a great deal about TOS and I am the only patient he has ever had with it. My fingers are also very swollen, which I find somewhat embarassing when looking at jewelry etc. People are always looking at my little chubby fingers and I am sick of explaining myself to people!!!! Just whinging.

Ozzy
