ok , Wednesday I had a tiny filling done , no Novocain , and I was a calm as all can be , and it went great , it was actually fun , I felt all grown up , like a big girl , no fear , and then the good news came when he said no root canal ( that was not an option and no way was it going to happen if it needed a root canal ) and also my fear was the needle , I told him how a shot in the roof of my mouth is freeking me out , he again said , I don't do that , only if it's an extraction ,, again I felt relived and happy , as I went home I was so excited about the up coming crown , that excitement did not last , I am back to square one , the Novocain needle has me shaking like a leaf to the point I am thinking about forgetting this whole thing , I have a script from another dentist for Diazepam 5mg , I tried one out to see if it would calm me down and it did not do a thing and my Oral Surgeon gave me a scritp for hydrocodone/acetaminophen 7.5.375 , now that seemed to calm me down and I felt like a hippy but I didn't like the feeling of being druged out , I never have taken a drug or meds before , maybe if I take 2 of the diazepam before I go ,, I am so confused here , my hope is that the needle is not as bad as my mind thinks it is , cause I am having more work done , or want more work done , and that means 5 more needles but at the same time I am at the point I could say forget the whole thing , but I cant do that , talk about stuck between a rock and a hard place ,,,,,,,,,,, will a needle win and I walk away , the panic is really kicking in full steam
