saifai | Moving Right Along

Got my dental insurance activated, and finally getting some much needed work done. I love my dentist, and all his little helpers. But I really detest going to get work done on my teeth. Worst thing ever. I don't have many problems with my teeth, but as I get older so do my teeth too apparently.

Also, the teeth issues were interfering with my migraines. It's an odd thing for a migraineur to deal with. Any time the brain is involved, the pain will spread throughout the body along the nerve bundles. So if I've got a migraine starting in my temple, it will flow down the bundle of nerves through my cheek and hit my sinuses, my jaw, and my upper teeth. Sometimes it'll hit my eyes too and make me have blurry vision.

Fun times.

I guess having a cavity and an abscess will cause the exact same pain. So, off to the dentist I go in two weeks to get that taken care of. Even more fun times.

Makes me regret all those times I've ever started a sentence using the phrase, "I'd rather get a root canal than [fill in the blank]." Too late to take it back now. I suppose in a way though it'll give even more credence to the next time I utter the phrase, right? I'll have that painful experience to back it up.

Pfft.
