Hi everyone, really good to be back amongst the magnolia's (smile from a old movie somewhere)

Want you all to know I havne't lost the 'faith' just looking for a small Bible that BT will not say its to large. It will be back!

Now the reason for the post.

I have a front tooth (one of those long ones) that a very tee tiny filling fell out of a year ago, then it started breaking before I could take care of it, then the ER visit and the blood thing where 'they' told me not to have an oral surgery due to possibiliy of excess bleeding (one put it 'I could bleed out in her chair')

well to make a long story short the tooth is no longer visible it has sheared off right into the gum (never had anything like that happen in my life) now if I can get over the shear terror I feel from having a visit to have the thing cut out next Tuesday it will no longer be a problem, here is what is perplexing to everyone including myself, where is the pain, I mean this tooth should be driving me up a wall. The dentist is shaking his head, I have a feeling he could do a root canal with no novacaine (which maks me ill).

Could it be that a nerve thats connected to that tooth is fried, cause if so this is one of the benefits of MS.

But the stress of pending visit to dentist has done other strange things, since I don't have an adrenal thats worth anything there is no way to 'buck up betty' or 'gear up', there is nothing to cope with anymore and there is enough pain everywhere else right now due to this stressor, plus balance really sucks, I fell into a plate glass window the other day, just lost legs and went full weight into it, good thing I only weigh 90 lbs, or I hate to think of what could have happened

Just raw stark raving terror of dong something that has always caused me manageable stress but now is gone berserk

I have always had an EXTREMELY high tolerance to pain, even before they discovered the MS. I think I may have a brain disconnect somewhere. :rolleyes:

Chances are that you WILL feel the pain, once they reach the root. I'd definitely go for the freezing if I were you!

Freezing? I'll go for anything that doesn't involve me getting into a dentist chair, since I have NICO,http://www.maxillofacialcenter.com/NICOhome.html I really don't care about my wonderful smile (not much to smile about) and I'm leaning towards cancelling and relieve some of this stress for just a day then I can go into the OMG I need to do something, I shoot myself in the foot all the time

Hi Abby - welcome back:

I share your fear of dentists. I can handle almost anything but dentists.

Nitrous oxide - got that for the first time last year along with the freezing.

I fell in love with my dentist (until it wore off) :D

Hope you are able to get to the dentists office and get it over with. Good luck.

I would have no qualms about using it, but I would take a lot for a good long time before and after. It disables B12, and people with MS tend to be low already.
