Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Deanna, Could it be cavities?? How long since you've been to a dentist and do you have mercury fillings? I had cavities underneath my fillings that I didn't know about. After I got them fixed that pain with cold things has mostly gone away. Beth [ ] cold water = painful teeth Yesterday I did stop drinking coffee for 24 hours so I could do the Adrenal Stress Index saliva test from 7 a.m. till midnight. Without coffee I realized how really sick and exhausted I feel. It wasn't just lack of caffeine. The other thing is that I've developed a reaction from following the test instructions and rinsing my mouth with very cold water for 3-5 minutes before each saliva sample. The first time I did it the cold water was uncomfortable but okay. Second time around, it was excruciating. Starting with my molars, then spreading, the cold was excruciating. When I spit out the very cold water, I was still experiencing excruciating pain, and my whole nervous system seemed to be freaking out. That is, everything hurt. Every since then anything cool in my mouth really makes my teeth hurt and sets up that pain-spreading syndrome. My take on this is that the nerves in my mouth/head are Lyme-filled and that once the senstitivity occured yesterday, it's staying with me for awhile. What do you think? Any ideas on how to calm it down? It's just amazing how many symptoms of neuro-Lyme can exist. Best of health and good cheer to you all.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi Deanna, I love your name, it happens to be my daughter's name, the one whose is sick too, but she likes to go by DJ ( she's 12 ). I have had painful teeth for at least 10 years. Brushing with Auquafresh for Sensitive teeth has helped me tremendously. Maybe you could try using it regularly, it's much cheaper that that other stuff (Sensodyne,) or at least after you have to do one of those cold water treatments. I could acually eat ice cream without pain after I started using it.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 > Could it be cavities?? No, Beth, I don't believe it's cavities. It made every part of every tooth hurt, as well as my head. And now, after a few days, the sensitivity is gone. I believe it's the neuro-Lyme. Feels as though it's everywhere in my head, brain, cranial nerves. Weird, eh? Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pain was used as a barometer to how I was doing with the abx attacking the lyme bacteria. When we finally conquered the lyme.......my teeth pain totally disappeared. Unfortunately Lyme has left behind Sarcoidosis and PLMS.......not much fun either. Connieknwnj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, eh? >> Not weird at all Deanna. I believe you are right. I too suffered greatly. Many times when I was finished eating I would have teeth pain for hours. I got use to putting those warm bean bags against my face to help the pain leave. Usually I would take some advil, put the warm beans against my face and the pain would leave after about 20-30 minutes. I also suffered tingling and numbness across my face and right up to and including my ear along with a right eyelid droop.........all lyme.
