Just got on the computer, and saw your update. I am hoping things
start to calm down with your pain.

I had dry socket when I got my wisdom teeth taken out years ago. I know exactly how you feel it is unbearable. I had medicated gauze put into the hole to clear up whatever was going on down in there. It was taken out a week later and I was fine. Very unfun.
I hope you feel relief soon.

Awe honey. I am so sorry you hurt. I am really empathetic when it comes to teeth and migraines.

Sending you healing thoughts and lots of hugs. :hug:

Went to the Dentist yesterday, no dry socket, everything is healing well. He just said it isn't going to happen overnight. Today is a week since they were taken out.

It's just I have bone loss, and the teeth around where the teeth that were extracted are going through an adjustment period, where they move. Plus the extractions set off my TMJ, so I have to get that calmed down.

Last night I used a night guard so I wouldn't grind and it worked well,:) I can't believe I didn't take it out during the night.

Plus I bone loss and periodontil disease, from my receding gums. So, it looks like I will be going to the Dentist for the rest of my life at this point.:eek:

I actually had a pretty good day yesterday as far as pain.;)

So, it's sit and wait, and hang tough. I go back to the Dentist August 9th.

Now I have to call my PCP for my pain med, since I have one left. If she is going to keep me on this one, I have to go to her office to pick up the script, which is a drive. Unless, she can call me in something not as strong, because I don't see her until September again. I can't take the Topamax, it gives me extreme headaches, does anyone think maybe it is because I also take Lamictal and those are both mood stabilizers and I get too much of whatever is in those????????????????????????????????????????????? ?

Anyway, that's the latest.

I took depakote and topamax together and didn't get any side effects except weight gain from depakote...If I remember I was on lamictal for a little while and topamax but had side effects from lamictal and stopped it..it caused gum problems.
I went to the dentist and periodontist every week for a year some years back. DON'T. I had bone loss and gum disease which I now have again and had my gums cut (which shouldn't be a problem nor painful)It really is an assault on your body and since you have tmj you really have to be careful.
I haven't read that topamax can CAUSE headaches. Later I might do a search of the net. I have only read that it can relieve migraine symptoms...weird...
take care
Bobby

I too am going to look at the side effects of topamax.

Plus COPE (my case mgr and p-doc) called two days in a row, but once Dirk was on the phone and didn't realize the beep in was important, and yesterday when I was out. They haven't left a message.

I just have a feeling it has to do with my meds, since I mail her a copy of everything from my PCP.

I called back once, and left a message. I will be home today, so I bet they call again late in the day, as they usually do.

I am just wondering why they are calling me.:confused:
