Today has not been good, from start to finish!!
I felt really unwell when I got up, I've got a lot of problems with my teeth, the main problem at the moment is that I keep getting an abcess on my wisdom tooth, and the pain tracks all down my neck and arm, I end up with migraine with it, it starts off in my eye and progresses from there! As soon as I woke up I thought "Oh no" when my arm etc were hurting, and when I got out of bed I was aching all over! Ironically I had an appointment at the dental hospital this afternoon to go and see when I could have it out. So despite feeling dreadful, I bundled myself into a taxi, and went to the appointment. Now I'd been led to believe that they were going to put me to sleep, and sort all my teeth out at the same time, rather than me having to go back and forth, and getting bits done at a time, as my dentist thought this would be kindest, and I'm very nervous when I have anything done at the dentist - I have panic attacks which is not good when they are in your mouth!! The dentist I saw however is wanting to take my wisdom tooth out with just local aneasthetic, he told me this, and I was like "Oh my god you're kidding me aren't you?!" he sent me for an x-ray and said think about it It is the quickest way to get it out, to have a general aneasthetic I'd be on the waiting list about 2months, I'm on antibiotics every other week at the moment - I can't be like this another 2 months,and in all this pain from it!! I went for my x-ray shaking like a leaf, and struggling to breathe just thinking about having it done. I had to try extremley hard not to cry in front of the whole waiting room full of people
. Well in the end I've agreed to go and try letting them take it out under a local - I told him I'd go and try as long as I didn't pass out before I even got there! So I'm booked in for the 28th of September to have it done, so I shall be worrying from now until then! What makes it worse is that I have no-one to go with me, and hold my hand, I'm such a baby really but having someone with me makes me feel a little better. I cannot understand why I am so scared anyway, I can stand having normal injections, and blood tests- I can sit and watch while they do it, it doesn't bother me in the slightest, but as soon as they start doing, or even mention doing anything in my mouth I'm trembling!! Then I rang for a taxi to get home when I'd done, and had to wait an hour for it, I was sooooo cold!! I don't know what it is with me I can't seem to stay warm, and if I get cold, I find it hard to get warm again - not sure what that's all about! Then I got home and my home help texted me, she can't come tomorrow as her back is bad, so all my housework will have to remain undone for another week, and it gets me down when the house is a mess. My feet and ankles are really swollen up too now, they look like baby elephants feet - not human lol! I just feel now like crawling into bed, and staying there, I wish I'd never got up this morning, it was a bad day on top of feeling bad, so sorry my first journal is very miserable, hopefully I'll be a bit more cheerful next time!!
Love to all my friends out there

Hope you feel better soon.
I hate going to the dentist too. One of the last times I went, the hygenist chipped a front tooth. I was so pissed. When I went to have the real dentist look at it, he made it sound like it was my felt and that they weren\'t going to pay to fix it. I screamed at him and never got anything done to it, but I\'m always afraid my tooth will break even more or it will fall out. So, I switched dentist\'s. I\'m much happier now. I hope you feel better! Big Hugs, Kristin~
Ya know sister that dentist crap sucks, I hate to say this but if you go on Treatment, It will fuck with your teeth too!(side effects)I had to get a whole new grill. My teeth alreday sucked from my dope days but I did lose 5 of em do to TX. Im just being honest for you sister!! Luv & Respects!!! John
Feel better soon. Lots of hugs your way, E
Ask the dentist if you can have the \"laughing gas\" with the local. It isn\'t a full sedative but will give you a slight buzz....unless you use old LaMaze childbirth breathing technique and suck the gas hard and efficiently! No one I know likes to go to the dentist but healthy teeth and gums are a big part of what we consider a person as attractive. You are much too young and much too pretty not to have a mouth that reflects that beauty. Boy, as much as I love to travel I only WISH I could come with you to your appointment. It\'s time for me to get outta here.... Take care
Thanks guys for your support.
I feel a bit better today, wasn\'t on yesterday as I had migraine, and was in bed all day.
Oh I wish they\'d give me laughing gas Tsuzy, they don\'t give you that at dentist here anymore! And there would be little point them giving me diazepam or something like that as I had that for my bx and it did nothing lol! I will just have to take my i-pod listen to some good music, and try to remember to breathe properly!!
