Headaches and Teeth
About 5.5 years ago, after a tramatic moment (I will most likely blog about that another time) I started suddenly having MAJOR migraines.
They would put me in bed for 3 days at a time and I was having them 2 or 3 times a month. After many tries with different medications, blood work, trips to UCSF Hospital for cat scans and MRIs, I finally got a handle on them in about 2003. I got them down to one every three months or so. Life was good.
Then, in 2004 the problems with my teeth started. A long story short, I have had 4 root canals, pulled 4 teeth, and was diagnosed with TMJ (causing the headaches this whole time? Who knows?) But the headaches have dwindled to about one every 9 months or so.
The reason I am telling this long, drawn out story:
I had root canal #5 today and my mouth is killing me! I have taken two norco's and I still feel the pain. Not good. It is going to be a long night!
Just want some sympathy...no one is giving me any over here...:-(
