At the ER now.

[Metalhead]

I always feel a bit sheepish going to the ER and I know exactly where that comes from. It comes from my mother yelling at me when I was at the ER in the past, shouting at me telling me there is no way a doctor would send me there when I am vomiting up what looks like coffee grounds because I am literally not dying.

I need to shut up that internal voice.

Damn, my jaw is really hurting now. I just might have to take one of the hydrocodones that were prescribed to me.

hope you'll feel better soon, and that it will be okay for your boss that you had an emergency, i remember you wrote recently that you didnt want to go to the doctor because of that

I contacted my gen practitioner this morning. She called me back when I was at work. When she told me to go to the ER, she agreed to talk to my boss.

Dude, had about close to the same experience when I mentioned my dental stuff back in January / February. The antibiotics definitely helped, and I had to stop eating anything sugary, as well. Sugar felt like alcohol in a papercut to it all. I got a mouthguard (like the simple ones from a sporting goods store) to help further because I was sleeping stressed as a mofo, so I was clinching and grinding on that side. It might help you to do the same.

Mommy downer ruminating thoughts during your time in pain, like that's a trigger connection, l guess like a trauma bond? Maybe don't go to those thoughts? Hey, let us know how the dental appointment goes. I just rescheduled a dentist appointment, to much anxiety.

I hope this works out for you. Infection in the jaw can be awful, I experienced a somewhat similar situation about 7 years ago and could not eat food for close to 6 months. Hopefully the infection does not require the installation of a cadaver bone to replace bones damaged by infection. It was a terrible way to lose 50 pounds of body mass.

She downplayed that symptom and told me that it was not that serious, certainly not worth going to the ER over since the ER is only for people who were literally dying.

Are you feeling any better? I hope the medicine they gave you is helping.

I am starting to feel better. I think the antibiotics are starting to kick in.
