I got the same word from the dentist this morning, that he has done some reading about Tysabri and he won't pull the tooth until the infection is gone. I am on an 8 day course of the horse pills and then I go in and get rechecked and get it extracted if the infection is gone.

It's funny, when I went in Thurs. to get my infusion, the nurse commented on the fact that I had a higher temp than normal-99, as opposed to my usual 97 or so.
She asked if I had anything going on and I said no, but then Friday...WHAM! with the tooth. I didn't feel any different or have any signs of trouble even with the elevated temp, so we went ahead with the infusion.

It still hurts. I've had 5 of those pills now and the throbbing and pressure pain is gone, but it still hurts. My ear hurts, my throat hurts, my jaw hurts, my gum hurts and I want this sucker OUT!

Why do we have wisdom teeth anyway? The top ones never erupted and I already got rid of the other one years ago cause it was crowding out my front bottom teeth! Now I hear that because this one was in for so long, the molar in front of it may loosen when the wisdom tooth is gone. It's a slow downward spiral and for someone who has always brushed and flossed and didn't have a cavity until I was 15, this is just a giant pain in the rump!

ARRRGH!
