Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I don't really know why my mouth got so severely messed up with RSD. The first clue was the burning tongue that wouldn't stop, even with sympathetic blocks to my face. Dr. Hashmi checked and sais the rsd had probably been in my mouth and gums since it had been in my brain, at least a year. Result, after two oral surgeon visits and numerous dentist as well, out of 32 teeth, they took all but 7, both times with the surgeon massive work each time. The first time, upper jaw, I was swollen and in pain, but pain relevant to the work been done. This time my mouth went off big time, the day after the second mass of work on the bottom half, I was so swollen and sick, they had to unstitch and restitch just to stop major bleeding, two days later the same, I was cholking on clots so once again they unstitched and restitched. The pain was so bad, Hashi put me back on fentanyl, something I had been off of close to a year. Yeterday I felt th onset of fentanyl poisoning <prob due to me being down to 100 lbs now>. I stopped the fentanyl and was just lying in agaony. Got lucky, my surgeon called from the middle of her vacation. She called in vicodin. Once I stopped all fentanyl, I am just now coming back to normal, still swollen 11 days later, but pain is starting to ease. I am still on the tail end of fentanyl poisoning, sweats, shakes, queasy and weak, but it is starting to get better. Makes no sense huh? Liz who is now washing sweaty, bloody sheets ugh.
