my trip to the oral surgeon

[Guest guest]

The tooth is out! I went to the oral surgeon yesterday, and lucky

for me I picked a great one with an amazing staff. I went in feeling

extremely anxious and tense, nauseous and achy, all the old symptoms

back again since the antibiotics. So as the assistant was preping me

I started talking to her about it, hoping it would reeive some of

the stress I was under. I told her about all of my health issues and

why I had them. I also told her about my MCS and how we never know

what kind of a reaction I am likely to have. She was shocked to hear

my story and also very angry about it. But she was very comforting

and trying really hard to help me relax. Then the surgeon came in

nad shot me up with novicaine. I don't do well with any type of

anisthetic and as soon as it went in I went dizzy and foggy and then

the body shakes started. My whole body was shaking like a leaf in

reaction to it. Then I was the one trying to calm the nurse down! I

had to explain to her that this is normal for me and that it would

go away in a few minutes, but that I was feeling weird in my head.

She refused to leave my side. We spent hte next half hour talking

with her watching me shake. I had her put my jacket over me to help

it calm down. Once I stopped shaking she was overwhelemed with

relief. She was so afraid they were going to have to call an

ambulance or something. Then the surgeon came back in and took the

tooth out in less than a minute. It was terrible to go through the

anithesia just for one minute of removal! the nurse said that he

only put novicaine on the one tooth and I should be fine in an hour.

I laughed at her and explained that half of my face was numb, and

likely to be that way for the rest of the day. She couldn't believe

it, but sure enough I was numb well into the evening. Anyway, I am

better today, the pain is subsiding and I thnk I will be just fine.

I still can't stand that I have to go through all of this horrible

stuff thanks to implants!
