Used tea tree oil on hair and took some supplements from GNC, some kind of essential-fats in a caplet, 3 pills daily. They were yellow. Maybe that would help, not sure.eyelickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601805385274948668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593768356444181863.post-41989028508567973962011-11-12T20:31:42.488+00:002011-11-12T20:31:42.488+00:00Barbara,

The result is in the next post :-( I wish I had gone sooner obviously or could afford individual implants screwed into gum. Think not. Anyway what's done is done. I think you are doing the right thing with Keven. You need some emotional distance for your own sanity. For what it's worth somedays I don't like my lad (16) Stropster even though I love him. He can be so selfish and inconsiderate. He will want your love one day for sure. Love your new title and hope you settling in to "your life".

At least you have decided to get yours sorted in time. Read my next post . . . its so depressing. I really regret not having faced my fears earlier. O well too late now.

Did you stop yet?<br />I don't mind extractions or any work once its all numb. I just hate the needles in my mouth. Anywhere else is fine, no problem, but in the mouth!? Horrendous.<br />That "unmotivated blank down" rings some bells, but I only usually get 2/3 days maximum of that feeling. Thank God. Thats what I refer to as "tangled wet rope or cotton wool head". Yuk!<br />Hey here's one for you . . does the punctuation go inside the speech marks "" or outside? I keep swapping as I aint got a clue. Knew you would know. Real good to hear from you. Missed you.

I'd rathe...I hate dentists, but not THAT much.<br /><br />I'd rather have a tooth extraction than a blood test, any day of the week. <br /><br />This does have a lot to do with having a junkie's hammered veins, it has to be said. And like any self-respecting addict I HATE anybody else stabbing away at me!<br /><br />I was nearly SICK last time I had to have a blood sample taken, it trickled in so very slowly she informed me it may well congeal in the party popper thing they collect it in and block it up before it ever filled up. After a VERY long 2-3 minutes the party popper was nearly full and I was close to vomiting. Literally. Because I hate the sight of blood so much. It was utterly traumatic and I think the dr who forced me into that procedure should be severely punished.Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593768356444181863.post-68646355485309867032011-11-12T05:26:59.244+00:002011-11-12T05:26:59.244+00:00Oh dear, there is another thing we seem to have in...Oh dear, there is another thing we seem to have in common... <br /><br />Seriously, it made me laugh... The thing with the appointment. Exactly the same like me. Bravely making an appointment that one knows will be far, far away. But if you're unexpectedly getting told the appointment is the next day? That is on a different level altogether... <br />But you're brave! I would've bugged out and told her i didn't have time the next day lol... <br /><br />I nearly shit myself every time i have to go to a dentist, and that days/weeks in advance. When the day has finally come and i'm sitting in the waiting area, my heart races so bad, that i'm getting dizzy and can't even breath right, to the point i'm getting nauseous. When i get up from the where i was sitting, i have to fight real hard not to collapse, as i feel so weak and shaky. <br /><br />Had my share of dentist horrors from an early age on and therefore avoided going to dentists as much as i could, only going when i couldn't cure the pain myself. <br /><br />I have been to the dentist a lot recently, because i want to get my teeth fixed too. Every time nearly dying. My next appointment will be in January, so i'm still brave too lol.Nataschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286600159487106251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593768356444181863.post-84009445750674359242011-11-11T22:48:39.104+00:002011-11-11T22:48:39.104+00:00Nerves are strange things.

But it freezed up so good I literally felt nothing during the filling. Not the 1% I felt on the top one. Literally nothing. And it took about 3 hours to be able to taste strong white cyder again. Which I've totally gone off by the way.<br /><br />You're lucky waking up with NRG but you're not on mood-blanketing drugs are you. I'm fed up of that risperidone and all its manifold side effects I so wish I could have a nice tinge of mania again. Nothing too strong, just lots of euphoria and energy would be nice... if only. I'm so down. Not just depressed down but unmotivated blank down.

Thanks lovey. That's more than my own m...Annie,<br />Thanks lovey. That's more than my own mother could say (well done), after continuously criticising my teeth and trying to get me to go to the dentist you'd have thought she would manage a "well done". I should know better than to expect praise or compassion after 48 years. Silly me. Yes I had 2 front crowns on NHS with my previous dentist who understood me very well . . . then went private. 12 years it has taken me to pluck up the courage to try a new one (and that was only because I was "forced" into the situation and saw how kind he was with Geekster) who has not had to take one pain killer and it was a huge tooth. Yes I totally trust the man (well almost ;-)) but it's out of his hands now . . . will post on result later.<br />I did ask Dr if it could be the steroids when it started to fall out but she said, if anything, they would have the opposite effect. In fact they are sometimes used to promote hair growth, which they did on my chin. Me thinks it be the dreaded Meanypause. O the joys of Womanhood and "Maturing" . . . La dee da.

I had a good dentist (after years of horrors) that I was so happy with until 12 years ago when the surgery went private and I lost my place, I was so scared to try a new one because my old one knew me and my fear, he would let me sit up rather than lie back, as I felt out of control lying back, He would open the window if I panicked (so I could jump out :-)) and would check my pulse before he started. If I could've stayed there my teeth would still be fine . . . . I'll post results of visit later.bugerlugs63https://www.blogger.com/profile/08598249255143939365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593768356444181863.post-10839981184913838272011-11-11T08:43:39.387+00:002011-11-11T08:43:39.387+00:00Well done you!

I've had trouble with freezing - as in not - and getting horrible jolts when I shouldn't. My last dentist was ok but so expensive. I finally switched and am much much happier with the new one - it was torture to try him though and he wasn't thrilled with my nerves. But his success is my success and I am far less nervous now and he's ok with me.<br /><br />Wish I could give tips to keep your hair but I haven't got a clue.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.com
