Ok, I had some major dental work done again and now that the novacaine has worn off, I am in major pain!! However, I realize that if I was not addicted to pain pills, and did not find a need to take all that I had within a few days, then I would have been able to find a pain pill in the medicine chest to take WHEN I'M IN ACTUAL PAIN!!!!

Good grief.

GRRRRRRRR. Oh well, I just took 4 advil and have a hot pack warming for my face.

Anyhow, hope you all have a good night!!

Namaste

Hey There Magpie

I used Oil of Clove after some dental distress and it helped a lot along with aspirin. Numbs the area like Novacaine does.

Hope all feels better soon

PS Namaste to you also... my soul does recognize yours. Smiles

Maggie.

I hate Dental more than almost anything in life. 2 weeks ago = broken tooth. BAM, root canal.

800MG advil actually isnt bad. Shaves off the edge.

Of course, as with most addicts, I would rather feel nothing. This morning I woke up with Horrible! tooth pain. Jaw aches, cheek hurts, ear hurts. Something is wrong. Did I mention how much I hate the Dentist?

Tomorrow 1:20...... God, I hope I can sleep

Hi Magpie

like reachout i also used Oil of Clove ( i think here in aus its just called Clove oil) you can buy it from the chemist. I use that with Neurofen plus to take the edge off. I have to go to the dentist to get a tooth out soon as im getting ear aches when i breath in etc so I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!
Take care
