Needing to journal again.....

[magpie1970]

as I have been having terrible cravings. I think it's because we've got some news that isn't the greatest and things have been thrown into chaos. So, along with that AND my dental issues I am craving REAL bad. I broke and took a hydro today, they are prescribed, because there is either a crack in one of my tooths roots or there is anothe canal that neeRAB to taken care of. My dental insurance won't cover anymore and we have no money for me to get it looked at.

I only took the one after trying everything else is my arsenal of non-narcotic relief. It's kicking in, but the pain is tremendous. I guess I should go find a yoga pose that is good for tooth pain, do some meditation and start journaling again. I think I may go buy a new one to start in.,

Thanks for listening to my vent...........I think I will just tell them to yank the tooth the next time ha ha ha

I know how bad the pain from teeth can be when I had 2 root canals a week apart. The pain was bad and I don't blame you for taking something because it sometimes feels like your going to lose your mind from the pain especially at night when you are trying to sleep and the dang nerve is just throbbing, throbbing. keep us posted on what you do. Maybe you could go to a dental teaching school to get a discount if you have a university nearby.

Magpie, I still hurt (and shake) everyday, since I have been off of the Oxy. Some days are worse, some days better. I started taking Advil every morning recently to help with the some of the pain and I have been doing better. The pain in unrelated to my original injury and has more to do with arthritis. When the pain goes up, the cravings increase. I know that one pill will make all of the pain go away, but one pill could lead to two pills, then three pills, and you know the rest. You just need to bring the pain down to levels that you can handle. Advil is enough to keep my pain in check and my cravings down.
