Hi,
I just have to pop in and say that I am sick, sick, sick, sick !!! I have an abscessed tooth with is causing my migraines to be in full swing and I cannot seem to control the pain for more than an hour or so at a time and then it comes roaring back. I'm scheduled for a root canal next Tuesday (after hopefully the swelling and infection decrease) - if I live that long ! Obviously, I am missing work too - been out of work for a week now. I'm so miserable but the the one symptom that I did expect has not occured - my legs are not stiff. So I'm thankful for that - usually when my body gets out of balance any at all - my legs get so stiff I have trouble walking - so I should count my blessings in that area. Also - I had a bunch of tests on my thyroid last week - one reading came back way out of range (for autoimmune disease activity). It should have been < 60, my result was 624. My doctor is supposed to call and talk to me about that tomorrow - she already gave me info on Hashimoto's Disease - and additionally I recently tested positive for Lupus so I am not certain where my dx are going... Thank you for reading - just had to say it - I'm so miserable. I am spending almost no time at my computer - just don't feel up to it. My body is just suddenly revolting (again)...

Snoodles,
I'm so sorry you've been so sick! I hope you can rest well enough until the root canal! And lupus! Boy I hope not, but if so I hope they can treat you for it and make you feel better. Take care and rest!

Oh Snoodles
I'm so sorry you're feeling so dang crummy. I have been in you position and am hoping Tuesday gets here soon for you. Rest as much as you can. Have you tried hot or cold packs for relief? I know hot on my face helps toothaches, and cold on my neck and forhead eases migraines. Keep us posted. And know we are with you in spirit. Sending oodles of to Snoodles. Feel better.

hang in there, snood...
I can only comiserate with ya... root canal here, last spring, plus Trigeminal Neuralgia added to the fun 'n' games. the RC failed (they couldn't get the whole root) so, they extracted the tooth, then I got "dry socket" that whole month is a BLUR in my memory, but I sorta remember what HELPED knock down the pain, like... alternating HOT wet washcloths (that were heated in the microwave) with zip-lock baggies with two or three cubes of ICE. and one tablet of Fioricet (generic = Butalbital) every 4 to 6 hours also helped. our thoughts and prayers are with you, as you deal with this horrible thing. sometimes I think dental-area pain is the WORST, because it's so... invasive... so hard to block OUT.
