Thank you Backtolife as well as the many others who have tried to help. For every negative commenter, there are 3 kind ones so you are the reason I keep coming back here. As for the pain meds, IF I...
True. I wasn't expecting them to call anything in especially since they were closed. I wanted them to start taking me seriously and after leaving several detailed messages both in the morning and...
Why wasn't calling them a wise thing? It only shows my desperation for relief. It worked didn't it??? They only just called me back after that 1am message I left. I don't care what they think of me...
First of all, I am far from an addict. I don't even want to be in pain management and haven't felt right about it since joining. Before my teeth pain started, I had never taken a single thing for...
Well it's been 6 days and I'm still in the same level of pain, if not more. The Baclofen is just not helping me plus I can't take it during the work day anyway since it knocks me out so even if it...
Well, I made it back. I was SO nervous that I didn't even explain how debilitating this problem has become. The doctor prescribed me Lyrica which isn't even available at my pharmacy so I have to wait...
Thanks for the feedback. I referred myself since none of the doctors I had been to were of any help. Seriously, countless visits to 5 different dentists, an oral surgeon, a neurologist, an...
Very long story short, I've been dealing with chronic dental pain for the past 2 years. After all this time, all these doctor visits, all the tests and procedures, all the money wasted, I was finally...
Please forgive me for my attitude. My constant pain has left me feeling extremely desperate and when I'm ignored or not taken seriously enough, it makes me agitated and even more hopeless. I have...
Abilene, thanks for actually reading and responding!!! 116 views and only 1 response. This is why I don't come on here often. The support is lackluster. Anyway, I'm not convinced I have TN. From what...
If I'm here seeking advice, it only makes sense to tell the full story although it might be long so whoever takes the time to read this, thank you in advance. It all started on my 28th birthday. I...
Hello, I'm back. Been very busy but still have this question on my mind. I continue to have these dreams where I would feel so good in them. For example, last night I had a dream that I was at my...
I should've posted this in the depression forum because ever since I've started this job, that's how I feel. I have cried more the past week than probably all year. To make matters worse, last night...
Hello everyone, I've posted on here before about my different chronic pain issues. Because of the credit card debt I've racked up in trying to resolve them, I had to start a 2nd job. Although it is...
I've been dreaming like this for at least 2-3 years long before I started taking pain meds and herbs for my chronic pain. Maybe those just enhance the feeling but I just wish I could feel the same...
I don't know. I just don't understand why this is happening. I'm confused because during the years I suffered trough major depression in my late teens and early twenties, I also had really bad...
I spoke with my dentist yesterday and she said she doesn't know the correlation between the two but she has heard of women experiencing teeth pain during their cycle. I was hoping she would know more...
This might be an odd question but does anyone feel a sense of elation when they dream? No matter if I have a good dream or a nightmare, I always feel so good in the dream. It's a strange feeling...
With all due respect, I couldn't make out half of what you were saying but just FYI if you smoke, whether standard cigarettes or e-cigs, then you're going to have health problems no matter what. As...
Thanks for the response. I am planning to see a general doctor soon since the severe toothache forced me to have to take so many pain meds (OTC and prescriptions) this past year and no telling what...
Ever since I was 12, which is when I started my period, I've had extremely painful cramps. Throughout my life, my mom always recommended I start taking vitamins to help with it but I never could...
I've posted on here before about a long toothache (or I should really say teethache) that I've had in my front teeth for 11 months now but my last post got overshadowed by everyone else's posts. Long...
Well, I'm back. Sorry for the delay. Here's an update: The throbbing came back to my front teeth a few weeks ago so I went back to my dentist who still could not figure out why they were all hurting,...
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I woke up feeling a little better today. Every morning for the past 7 months, I've woken up with pain in the same tooth; whether it's painful throbs or just...
I had already been prescribed Vicodin and Percocet weeks after the original filling and after the root canal which I've run out of and although I sure could use some more, I don't think the dentist...
I haven't posted on here in quite some time. I used to come on here because of my depression but in hindsight, I really didn't have much to be depressed about. My nightmare story started one morning...
My depression seems to come and go. I really can't explain it but the bigger issue is my social anxiety. It's keeping me from living a normal life. I've been shy all my life even as an adult but I've...
Thanks for the replies. The book club sounds interesting but I come from a small town and there are none around here. As for the meds, that's not an option even if I could afford them. I have never...
Where do I start? I don't know what's wrong with me but here lately, I've been feeling very hopeless and depressed. The biggest sign I've noticed is a disinterest in things I like to do. I work an...
