Sirona sweetheart - please don't wait that long. I have been up for endless nights with pain, pressure and cracking in my ear. I go to the doctor tomorrow for more antibiotics. I have an appointment on August 7th for a root canal. (why are you having an extraction?)
I'm relieved to hear that you have decided to get something done about that tooth. But the time frame you are talking about is awhile yet and I guarantee you'll be on several courses of antibiotics. You yourself said that the ones you just finished didn't work. You already need more. (like me)
Sirona, I am very familiar with cancer. Both my parents had it. Mom survived two breast cancer bouts. (two of her sisters died from the same thing), and my father had skin cancer. I was with Mom when she was going through it and it took all her mental and physical energy. You do NOT need something fixable like this tooth dragging your system down. Repetitive antibiotics are not good/healthy, and yet if you go without, you will end up like me - ear AND sinus infections - big time. (which will lead to no sleep, fevers etc) You do NOT need that right now honey. PLEASE - get the tooth dealt with - soon. I have suffered for a good year because no one knew what was causing the infection and pain.
Please... please do not wait until after you move. Please. You cannot afford to allow yourself to be worn down like that - especially when it is totally unnecessary.
Just really concerned about ya love......
hugs, Mimilly
