so many worries..

Right now I'm so upset due to the many thing/symptoms I'm worried about. I don't know how much longer I can do this to myself and family. Normal things terrify me. Here's what's going on.

1 toothneeds root canal, possibly 2
Many more with problems and dental phobia
Chest pains
Off and on wheeze in one spot of right lung
Feeling of eye being swollen, not visible
I just had a black spot in mucus when I blew my nose
Feeling of fever, no fever there

On top of my health worries I spent yesterday at Vanderbilt with my 4 year old fir tests on his hip. He has fluid on it. My husband has congenital heart failure but is doing well.
I'm terrified of the dentist and have read everything that can go wrong with root canal or extraction. I'm scared to have nitrous because of the wheeze. The root canal is scheduled for next Tuesday but I'm afraid I will die of infection before then. Even though theresno sign of abscess yet. I'm just so tired of this.

You are going through a lot and I believe this would give anyone anxiety.

I had a dentist when I was a child who had to have been a sadist. He didn't use nova cane, what a maniac. So since then I've had a semi dentist phobia. So I do empathize with you.

Good luck at the dentists, u will do fine and your mouth will feel better in a couple days.

OUCH Jennings.... Just ouch!!! :(

I remember my first root canal. They're really not that bad. I did sit in the chair, and "wonder" if I would die from it, but it's a fairly simple ordeal. My second root canal was so much easier once I knew what I was in for. Really...not too bad at all!

Yes, I'd like the links. I'm waiting for my insurance to kick in to get back on meds.
