Bigtime Bummer, Char. I feel for ya having to go through all the pain and $$$$ of the dental work. I too, worry about meds. My Boniva IV's are to save my bones (or at least try) but one possible side effect is jaw necrosis.
Hello???? It just doesn't seem fair that in order to feel well, sometimes we have to deal with the nasty side effects. Sure hope the dental work goes ok.. will be thinking of you.
***I once worked in a dental office, so understand all the mess you will be going through... take care.
