Default My Update

Well I promised to come back and give an update and here it is: The swelling in the gumline has went down considerably, Thank Goodness! It is just slightly noticeable when I feel around on it. It will just take time I guess to go away. Not sure about any visible inflammation but I go to the dentist on the 15th for two more fillings on that side and will have them look at it real good. I still have constant pain but I don't know if it's from my Atypical Trigeminal, TMJ or who knows what! I go tomorrow to my pain management dr. to have a TENS unit fitted for my face, I hope it helps but then it's like everything else with TN, it works for some and not others.
My stomache on the other hand is still a mess. I have to be really careful what I eat or I feel like I swallowed a balloon. Even being careful I still will have issues. I am still taking the Culturelle haven't noticed any difference yet. When my stomache is really bad I will wake up in the middle of the nite just drenched in sweat and feeling like I have a furnace in my belly trying to digest food. Weird huh? I know that's off dental track but it does tie into my dental problems thanks to the antibiotics. Well that's about it. That's where I stand at the moment. Some progress and some not.

Hi Robyn,

How did your appt go at the dentist for those two other fillings? Is the area of the extraction all better now? How's your stomach.........?

When you get a chance, please pop in and give us an update!
