I'm glad that you were able to tell us how you're feeling, Mari (((HUGS)))

I know it can be hard for people to do things when they are depressed, even if it may help them, and I know that you have a long, difficult track-record with medication side effects, so now I can better understand why you haven't tried the cream on the areas that need treatment yet :hug::hug::hug:

I'm so very sorry that you are so depressed :hug::hug::hug:
Do you have any plans to see the pdoc soon?
Whatever happened regarding the increase in your dose of gabapentin?

I will be thinking of you today, Mari. And I really hope that your mood shifts for the better soon (((HUGS)))

Mari 03-03-2019 06:43 PM

Thanks, Kay,


I just realized that I do not know when my next appt is.
I kind of remember that I could not work my phone at the time
I was re-booking for in front of the pdoc secretary -- was feeling rushed
so I put an appt card for my person.

I cannot find that card. 'Will have to call or wait for a reminder from the office.

Mari 03-03-2019 06:46 PM

Thanks, Bobby.


I used to take Wellbutrin. 'Was on it for years.


I do not remember why I stopped taking it.

If you were on welbutrin for years maybe you could try it again?

welbutrin stopped for me but this relative seems to work

OhKay 03-04-2019 08:16 AM

There are so many meds I can't take for various reasons, I wish I had started a list a long time ago. I am running out of options, and some of them may have had milder side effects, and maybe worth another shot, but I have no idea which ones those may be.

Dmom3005 03-04-2019 10:19 AM

My son did well on prozac, but not so well on wellbutrin as it turned
out. But because I didn't know the right questions to ask my teen
at 13 to 16. I didn't know till much later the kind of problems the
wellbutrin had been causing for him. It was also supposed to help
with getting him to stop smoking, but I honestly think it made him
want or need to smoke more.

At 5:00 I have a dentist appt due to teeth grinding(pain).


I need to take some klononpin for the appt but concerned about rush hour
traffic.

Good luck with your appt. I wish your life could be easier.

Dentist sent me to a specialist because I need a root canal --- something
about my old filling or whatever.

bizi 03-06-2019 08:32 AM

I am sorry you need a root canal.
sounds painful
bizi

OhKay 03-06-2019 09:20 AM

I'm sorry you need that root canal, too :hug::hug::hug:

I cracked a tooth when I was 20, and the dentist told me I needed one. The tooth is far back in my mouth and not visible, so when I found out how much it would cost, I decided to just get a shot in the jaw, and have the tooth pulled instead. It cost me about $75. Ahhh... to be young again :o

Mari 03-07-2019 12:10 PM

I overslept the root canal appt. Totally upset.:eek:


But when I called the office, they had no record of an appt for me.
:eek:


Good news / bad news????:confused::(:confused::(


EVERYTHING FEELS HARD.



Maybe I should get in the car to see if I can find the place ---
----a practice run because I'm confused about how to get to their office.



I stayed home from work to get the root canal today.


We made an appointment for me to go in Monday at 2:30.

bizi 03-07-2019 09:15 PM

You must have needed the sleep.
Serendipity that they did not have you down for an appointment??

Mari 03-08-2019 04:39 AM

I have to call Human Resources to get my insurance information.

Mari 03-09-2019 04:28 AM

Time change Sat night: MOVE CLOCKS AHEAD ONE HOUR
 
We change clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night



We lose one hour of sleep.:)

This year, I am especially confused because I have a
a deadline this weekend. Take care.



M

OhKay 03-09-2019 09:22 AM

I think taking a practice run to get to the office is a great idea, Mari. You will be stressed enough the day of the root canal. You don't want to have to worry about getting lost, too :hug:

I hate Daylight's Savings Time. When I was working, I used to f- up all the time.

I'm so sorry that you are going to lose an hour with a deadline hanging over your head. I hope that you're able to get everything done and it doesn't throw off your sleep too much :hug::hug::hug:

bizi 03-09-2019 11:09 AM

I hope your trial run goes well!
I hate day light saving....they should just leave it alone!

OhKay 03-10-2019 10:09 AM

There is a new movement to eradicate it. Let's hope it goes somewhere.

Mari 03-10-2019 10:29 PM

I'm O.K.


But I am struggling.

Thank you for checking in.
I am glad that you are ok, sorry that you are struggling.

Root canal completed
 
Last night Hubby got frustrated with me because even after
phone calls and internet work, I had not yet figured out
how to get a hold of my proof of
dental insurance
for the dentist who
I needed for the root canal.
Hubby was being a complete a s s .


This morning while I was sleeping hubby drove to our regular
dentist and picked up papers that we took to the root canal guy.
I was so happy to wake up and learn that we had the paperwork!


The root canal guy and his assistant-person did a really good job.


=-=-
I have to take amoxicillin (with food) for two days.
I also have ibruprofen 600 mg.


++++++++++++++++++++
====================

Today I have to submit stuff online before midnight
for work
but I am stoned from the 0.5 Klonopin I
took this morning before the dentist and might take
more Klonopin again later.


[Stoned is good right now and I might decide to stay here
like this for the rest of the day.]:):):):):):):):)

Apologies for this being long.


M

Dmom3005 03-11-2019 03:12 PM

Wow, tell hubby thank you from all of us too.

That is fantastic of him. He really had your back.

I am sorry that you have an deadline today though
I am hoping you can get an extension if you need it.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

great news about the dental insurance and hubby handling it for you.
Glad it went well.

Mari 03-12-2019 05:16 AM

Hi,

I could not see from where I was sitting but I think that Hubby stood in the
doorway of the little room and watched the guy work on my tooth.


I finished the Amoxicillin they gave me.
Next, I need to leave a note for hubby to go pick of the prescription for Amoxicillin we dropped off yesterday of at the pharmacy.
The dentist's assistant wants nothing to get infected or something.


I've been listening to music all night. . . . .. Am considering going
to bed.


Have a good day. Stay well.


M

I hope you are not in any pain.

mymorgy 03-12-2019 08:02 AM

what a thoughtful surprise!

Mari 03-13-2019 10:02 AM

Amoxicillan: Today I took a pill but won't take anymore
 
I called my
(1) regular dentist
(2) the office of the root canal dentist who did the work
(3) and my pharmacy because I do not want to take
the AMOXICILLAN.

I am not comfortable taking it.


(The root canal doctor is out of town until Monday so he is not helpful
at the moment. One of the people in the office said to stay on the amoxicillin until he comes back in town.)


--- I do not care if I am being rational or not.

It's my choice.



My tooth had a what is being called
"inflammation."





M

Dmom3005 03-13-2019 10:14 AM

Mari

Can I ask why you aren't wanting to stay on the amoxicillin?

Wondering if there is something else the regular dentist would
consider giving instead.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

OhKay 03-13-2019 10:36 AM

Kudos to your husband for thinking of getting the proof of insurance from your regular dentist and heading over there to get it for you! :)

I'm so happy that the root canal is over with! :):):)

It's your choice whether or not you take anymore Amoxicillin or not, whatever your reason is. I hope you don't get an infection, but you did take some of the antibiotic, so that should help :hug:

I'm glad you were able to enjoy being stoned for a little while ;)

Were you able to meet your deadline?


P.S. That was not a long post lol

Mari 03-18-2019 08:49 AM

I am feeling too depressed to go into work.


Usually I can push myself out of the door and get in the car.


M

OhKay 03-18-2019 09:18 AM

I am impressed that you can function as well as you can being as depressed as you have been, Mari :hug::hug::hug:

I'm much more inclined to wish that you could get the day off, than hope that you could get your a- out the door this morning (((HUGS)))

What ended up happening?
How are you feeling now?

I am sorry you are struggling.
I hope your depression leaves soon.

It did not sound like you were going to be able to get to work the other day. It must have been so hard for you to get there, and get through the day. I commend you, Mari :hug::hug::hug:

I know I say it all the time, but I wish that things were easier for you (((HUGS)))
And I wish that you didn't have SUPER-SHITTY days like that :hug::hug::hug:

Mari 03-21-2019 10:47 PM

I went to the Dentist thinking I would need a new cap after the root
canal. But she said I did not need the cap because the root canal was small
and the repair could be done with a filling.:)


So we saved a sht-ton of money and I did not have to be in the chair more
than two minutes.


Tomorrow Hubby and I have to take care of stuff at work but we both
agreed that would we come home as soon as possible.

bizi 03-21-2019 11:24 PM

I hope you both have a nice weekend!
