Let’s hope for a pain free day!

Hooray! I managed to sleep right through the night and even managed to lay in till  8am this morning! I did have a couple of small attacks last night but nothing i couldn’t handle (oh my god that sounds bad! Like i am getting so used to them they are becoming part of may daily routine) . We’ll at least today i don’t have any sign of an attack yet! I still have a bit of a sore neck from last night but i am hoping the pain killers will take care of than and my head should then settle.

The rain is pouring down outside and the sky’s are dark grey. Normally in this kind of weather i would be in agony, hiding away from people in my flat to frightened to go out in case of the massive attacks. I don’t feel like that today for some reason, maybe it’s because i have rested well and haven’t started having the pain. If that’s the case fingers crossed it stays like this for the rest of today.

I have to go and try and arrange an appointment to get my teeth sorted. It’s been nearly 4 years since the operation where they pulled out every tooth in my mouth apart from three and the bottom row at the front. Strange why they left the three but never mind. It was the most horrible experience of my life. I suppose that’s why i have been frightened to go back to any dentist. All i seem to keep remembering is waking up and not being able to breathe because my mouth was full of blood and then spitting chunks of clotted blood out of my mouth. I know it’s a bit graphic but the dreams i now have about it is traumatizing. After the operation to be told there was nothing wrong and there was no infection in the jaw after all. This was before my diagnosis of CH.

Now that i have traumatized myself again thinking about the operation i think i’ll wait till the rain stops and go and speak with the dentist and discuss if my medication will cause any complications. Oh God ! i couldn’t imagine having an attacks whilst he’s extracting a tooth!. I Don’t want to think about that so it’s time for a cuppa and a hasty exit. let’s just hope the remainder of the day is pain free!
