    Kim, please head to your doc or the ER and get back to us. That sounds very serious.

    Oh Kim, I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. I hope you feel better soon.
    Going to the ER isn't a bad idea. I'm sitting in a hospital bed typing this right now because of a wisdom tooth extraction gone wrong.

    I hope you feel better soon! That sounds terrible and tooth pain can be the most miserable type of pain there is! Let us know how things are when you can.

    Sorry I disappeared guys. I worked all day yesterday and was just too exhausted to even look at the computer last night. I woke up this morning feeling MUCH better. I even ATE something

    Today at work was almost normal for me. I took pain pills only once during my shift and didn't watch the clock for the time that it was ok to take them. I'm going to try to eat dinner tonight.... fingers crossed I can

    My jaw is very, very sore. I can feel a swollen gland. Its rock hard like a little marble. I'm on antibiotics, so this should calm down in a bit.

    All I know is the fever is gone. I can put a little bit of pressure on my tooth without pain.

    I never, ever, want to go through that again.

    Well, Kim, I'm glad you're feeling better

    Years ago, I had an intolerable pain on the right side of my mouth. My dentist (since passed) couldn't find anything, but gave me antibiotic and pain killers. Nada. I called his house. I found his number. He opened his office on a Sunday morning. He took endless Xrays and spotted the teeniest, tiniest pindot of a hole. I can't remember if a filling came out or it was a start of a cavity. But he worked diligently to fix it and the relieve was so overwhelming, I cried. He never charged me.

    I believe you. Intolerable pain, like "where's my gun?" pain. I'd rather have a migraine, seriously. At least I know I may get some relief.

    I'm just surprised he didn't want to see you immediately. It sounded like an awful infection.

    Anyway...glad you're better..and, well, the UP side is weight loss! I feel that!



    I've been Boooo'd!
