At Long Last .....

.... I have my new router so can try to keep up to date from now on (*fingers crossed*)

Well that's the good news .... the bad news is OUCH .....

As you know, I have been battling the tooth problem from Easter, and last week had the tooth taken out.  End of problem, HA HA.  Apparantly 1 : 10,000 extractions give something called a "dry socket" ; in other words the hole refuses to heal.  So I had the socket cleaned and packed yesterday and started on penocillin, and have to return for more treatment in a couple of days.  They think it may take up to 6 months to heal :(

I asked "Why?"; and was told there was absolutely no reason .... so I pointed out that my last extraction went the same way.  Apparantly all that proves is that I am incredibly unlucky ... so, for those who wonder how I got the name Debris, you can see why!!!

Also saw the doctor today as my thyroid has decided to pack up.  The good news is that I now get free prescriptions, the bad news is that it makes my tiredness worse ... so not good to go with the CFS!!

Well must get lunch and head into work.

Will try and catch up with some of those back comments this evening.

Ouch indeed!

Sorry you've been so unlucky chuck, I hope you and it gets better way sooner than last time.

Thanks for the thoughts - the pain in the tooth is slowly getting better, as the penicillin kicks in.

Hurrah for the router - but sorry about the dental woes.

Once the GP got my thyroid levels right the tiredness lifted and I was amazed to recognise how tired I had been, so hopefully getting yours sorted will help as some of the tiredness might have been thyroid related rather than the CFS.

The doctor thinks I will need highish doses, but is having to follow protocols, so at present I am now up to 100mg

Ouch indeed! I understand that that is very painful.

Sending good vibes asap.

Yay for a new router!

Major boo to dry socket and thyroid problems though :(

I hope things get MUCH better!!

And it is great to be able to relax, yet still get on the internet with my chromebook thanks to the new router!

Ouch. You have indeed very bad luck with your teeth (tooth).
Sends get well wishes. That really sucks.

I hope it doesn't take a whole six months for your tooth to heal! That's awful. (And hope once your new meds kick in, the tiredness will go away or at least lessen.)

I hope the dental woes heal faster. Likewise I hope that the thyroid medication helps.

The thyroxine will take longer to take effect.
