Ok... you know about the problems with my teeth and my coverage being cancelled. Well, good news. I'll be covered for emegencies and extractions, so that's a real relief.
I have an appt. for the 25th unless I can't stand to wait til then. If that's the case I can go in as a walk-in any day as long as it's in the morning... which may happen. But now I'm really scared about what's gonna happen when they finally start to probe around in there...
I bought some oragel and as soon as that stuff hit my mouth, morgs went totally insane. I felt chains of the stuff along with alot of electrical sensations go all the way up my face and the front and side of my head. I even felt them in my plugged up ear... needless to say, my entire head hurt pretty good. I pulled my partial out and it was covered in black specs... I could even see trails running thru it. It wasn't a pleasant site.
Man you guys... it makes me wonder if I'll make it thru this. Please say some prayers ok? I did get some antibiotics from my doctor but he'd only give me 7 days worth. I imagine once the dentist takes a look, he'll give me more before he ever touches my teeth. I'm not sure how that works tho.
I was talking to Bessie about the oragel and she emailed me a link to the MDR board saying what a coincidence it was. Here's what someone there said...
Orajel severe pain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Has anyone tried using orajel? I did tonight when my teeth and gums were bothering and it worked to bring out the buggers. Then I tried some on lesions and it worked but not as well as in my mouth. You have to try this!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I told Bess we must be on the same wave length... no pun intended! The active ingredient in oragel is Benzocaine. It seems to me that any ingredient starting with the letters benz effects this stuff. There's a disinfectant spray the 99 cent store carries that has benz something in it and if you spray the stuff on anything that's contaminated with morgs things start crackling and popping. I sprayed it on my hands once... talk about a fireworks show.
On another note... I went to the beach again over the weekend. Two days later, my nose looked like someone had burned it in 3 places with a cig butt. The skin just sluffed off and it still looks the same. Maybe they're my first lesions... I don't know. Then I noticed in the areas where morgs are more prevelent in my face, the trails had come up to the surface more to where I could peel some of them off. It wasn't from a sunburn either. I don't burn... I just get tan.
So I also got something at the store to clean my face with that I haven't tried yet. It's called Clean and Clear Deep Cleansing Astringent by Johnson & Johnson. It has Salicylic Acid in it... it started bringing all the trails up even more where I could just about pull them out all the way. It also brought the ones in my lips up. I pulled some of them out too, but they seem to be alot deeper.
So that stuff seems to work really well too if you haven't tried it yet. But if anyone has some oragel... try it in your mouth or like the person at MDR did, on your lesions and see what kind of result you get ok?
I know it'll be better if you guys say a few prayers about the dentist tho... didn't want ya to forget cuz I'm such a big baby. But I still get so spooked by this stuff sometimes. Especially when it feels like it's running to my brain. Course there's not much there they'd have to mess with... so hopefully they'll just turn around and decide to exit this bod completely along with my teeth! ;D
love ya's ~~ bannanny
