I have a weird, kinda OT question!

[mystylady]

Serious, OK? Is it possible that anyone knows of, to die of a toothache???
I've been in AGONY for a week now... went to the dentist, gave me antibiotics that (I'm not making this up) the main side effect is... <steady Trish>
FATAL Diarrhea! FATAL! Holy Moly!
So being the morbidly curious person that I am, whilst entering the word "Diarrhea" into MS Word for the correct spelling, I clicked on the Thesaurus. This is what MS Word says the other words for "Diarrhea" are, for real...

Backdoor trots
Flux
Runs
Scour
Squirts
Trots

I swear if I didn't feel so lousy I'd be laughing my *not gonna say it * off!

But can someone die from a toothache, without the "antibiotic from hell"?

[HomeyGirl]

How the squirt are you doing today? No not funny I know. Been there. Actually You can get an infection that could get really serious. Seeing that you are talking antibiotics that should kill all those bad little sucker germs. Do you have a T.V. in the bathroom? or you can bring in a lap top!

[Hellfire]

I died from a toothache once, but they brought me back:(

For the life of me I can't figure out what is worse. Mind Dumbing pain from a toothache or.........never getting out of the bathroom?????

I'll pray for ya, Mysty, I really will.

*begging for Mysty's life on bended knee right now*

Did you need any of us to send you some Charmin? LOL!

[mystylady]

ROTFLMAO literally!!!

Jeez o' Petes guys, nothin like a little laughin to get things movin'! <gasp gasp>

It's better today, actually.

Wow I never met anyone who was dead before! Well not that they'd admit, anyway!!
Hope there wasn't any "Hellfire" at the time lol!!!

Hey, you know those dimples people have at the top of their butt crack? Guess what they're for???

:)

:)

:)

...hiney smiles!

[Hellfire]

You've been looking at people's butt dimples and cracks?!?!?!

You say I'm going to hell? LMAO!

[mystylady]

Hell no God Forbid!!!

You know like the "plumbers butt" that does the peep show out the back of some people's pants and you don't want to, but like a magnet there go your eyes and WHAM there they are the little dimples just smilin' away! It's like the horror of like a car accident or a train wreck... you don't WANT to look, you know you SHOULDN'T look... what the heck is up with that??? lolol It's like being a helpless bystander. And ya just gotta laugh too.
Why oh why is that so damn funny to me??? Doesn't matter who it is, either.
I have a dear friend (a great guy whom I love dearly and who also suffers from the occasional "peeping hiney") that I gave a keychain to that had a picture of a construction worker taken from the back... he's sitting on a steel beam eating a sandwich with like a mile long "verticle smile" showing and the caption says
"Say No To Crack"

[Hellfire]

Is it just me or is this Mysty's story and she's sticking to it?? LOL!

I would love to wear a pin that says no to crack. We're crazy at work and that would leave us in stitches all night.

With today's fashions, the girls have gotten as bad as the plumber men. A night doesn't go by I don't find a woman bending over with those hip pants on showing everything she's got. I'm going to start taking photos so that girls and women of America can find out NOT EVERYONE CAN WEAR THOSE PANTS!

[HomeyGirl]

Maybe my behind is having sympathy pains. Sorta like pregnancy. But man it is the "place to be" today. Maybe I ate something bad off this board. lol
My sister is having surgery tomorrow. So I'm taking the train and will be gone a couple days to hold her hand through this. It's really yucky stuff ! So being the selfish sister oops I mean selfless sister that I am will be going through JTV withdrawal as she does not get the channel at all and she has no computer. She does have electricity though! I look forward to reading all the posts when I get back.

[mystylady]

Awww that's nice of you Homey! I hope she's OK! Surgery is by far the WORST EVER! IMHO that is. Just keep telling her it's gonna be better before she knows it, even tho she won't believe you at first, keep telling her! It's amazing how time stands still when you're in pain, isn't it?
Uh oh hope I'm not contagious! Maybe nerves? I've never been on a train before... have you? Wow an adventure! Wish it was gonna be one for sis too...
Just think of all the cool dude posts that'll be here waiting for you when ya get back! In the meantime I'll be praying for your sister that she's OK.
Hey electricity! Two outta three ain't bad! <Home!!! Home on the RAAAAAANGE!> <glass shatters>

OWWWWW!!! My ears! LOL

Seriously, dehydration is a worry. Are you drinking lots of water/gatorade? If it's Red Bull, lay offa that sistah! :' )


I love the train! We'll keep a light on for you, HomeyGirl.

[mystylady]

Oh lots of water, soup too, and lowfat chocolate milk (my favorite... maybe not the best but yum!), strawberry shakes from Micky D's, and NO WAY ON THE RED BULL! Yeech! Isn't that what they put in that drink-from-hell, a YagerBomber or something? With the shot glass of cough medicine-y stuff (I think that's the "Red Bull" and Yagermeister then you dunk the shot glass into a glass of beer and you're on your own??? OOOF... bad bad bad!
Awww! yer sweet for thinking of me! I talked to my Medical Doctor about the "unpleasant side effects" of the antibios and was told that this particular drug is some serious stuff (Clindamyacin...or Cleocin) and I probably don't have a living bacteria in my body! Weird, huh! And the "side effect in mention" is actually your body's way of getting it all out of your system. In all my years in medicine I never knew that! Yuck and Yuck! The worst part is that IT STILL HURTS AFTER ALL THIS <sorry> crap! They said it's cuz even tho it's not "infected" anymore the nerve in my tooth is "irreplacably damaged" and there's a huge fracture in it besides :( So I'm back to square one.
Jeez! Nice post! Well, I appreciate all the support and the laughs! You guys are like "Fam" and I feel like you really do care, which warms the "cockles of my heart, wherever they are... they're warm and fuzzy!
So I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and as much as I HATE shots I'm going so he can make it numb and not hurt, just for a "reprieve" from the nonstop-for-a-week pain. He's got the most beautiful blue eyes you've ever seen *sigh* My mouth is saying "Dr. Kevin" but my heart is saying *George*! lol He also uses a local called "Marcaine" that takes like 15 hours to wear off! I can't believe I'm gonna say this but I can't wait!!!

Yes, you can die from a tooth related infection. A couple of years ago, in my area, a young man in his twenties died from letting an absess go without getting medical attention. The infection can spread without treatment, and of course, even the smallest infection can become very serious without treatment.
I hope you feel better, Mysty. I really feel for you. I have been through it a couple of times myself - resulting once in having a wisdom tooth pulled and a root canal on another, and I swore that I would rather go through childbirth again than go through that kind of tooth pain. For me, it got so bad that the pain sprad through my jaw, the whole side of my face and even up into my ear. I wanted to die! I couldn't sleep for days.
That reminds me of a mildly funny story.
After I had my widom tooth pulled, the dentist gave me a SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM for pain killers, saying I would have some pain after the procedure. I had no pain, and never took any of the pills, but I saved them just in case I had another tooth problem in the future.
A few months later, I did. I tried to get through without the pills, but finally I gave in and took one, along with having a couple of beers until the meds kicked in, An hour later, no relief, so I took another, still nothing, so I took yet another.
After a while, I took a look at the bottle, and realized they were not my painkillers, but muscle relaxers that my mother-in-law had given my hubby when he was having some severe back problems. I had forgotten that I had given my painkillers to a friend that was having a serious toothache on a weekend to tide him over untill her could get to the dentist on Monday, and when I saw the only bottle of pills on the shelf, I just assumed they were mine and never looked. I had been popping muscle relaxers like candy and downing beers into the wee hours of the morning! My tooth never felt any better, but lets just say the rest of me was very relaxed once they kicked in, and for a good long time!!!

[beekeeper]

Just last week, after giving MY dentist a hard time about flossing not being all that necessary (just kidding him) he told me about one of his patients who was in the hospital and needed surgery, but after finding out from him (dentist) that he had some particular bacteria in his mouth (which goes str8 into your blood stream) they couldn't do the surgery. The patient had to wait til the mess in his mouth had cleard up ... kinda scary!

[jewelfreak]

Don't get to excited about the local. You will have trouble swallowing, everything will taste funny, and you will drool most of those fifteen hours!!! Been there, done that!!!

[mystylady]

Good Lord you guys! are you TRYING to scare the S*** outta me!!! LOL
Can we wait till I don't actually die before any more horror stories! lol my stupid life SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM policy doesn't even kick in until *seriously!* FRIDAY! THIS Friday! Two days to go. Wouldn't that be just like me... to kick the bucket on Thursday??? lol oh that's not EVEN funny... besides, I don't have any germs left and they're exiting stage left, have been all day.. or should I say "stage south"??? YIKES! TOO MUCH INFORMATION! Ugh sorry guys, I'm traumatized.

Jewel, you must have been like the Bride on "Sixteen Candles" remember??? She took all those muscle relaxers right before her wedding and was like "cool. A wedding. *sway* lol!
I for one vote "yes" on the beers to supplement the enormous amount of liquids I've been drinking lately that've been saying "hiya by-ya" ... I wish they'd kick in sometime soon... because are you ready??? Since Sunday I have not been able to sleep ONE WINKY DINKY WINK. Check out the times of my posts! My many posts. I'm almost embarrased to see Mystylady Mystylady Mystylady after every one! It helps keep my mind off of the pain that just like you said Jewel, goes down my jaw, across my chin, into my ear... sheesh. You nailed that one on the head or on the "First Molar after the Bicuspid on the Left Side", also known as "Tooth Number 19" All your teeth are numbered, BTW! That's how the dentist "finds it" or something. I managed several dental offices for about four years or else I would never have known that.
but on the bright side! I drool over my gems and over the ones on JTV/GSN anyway so I'm used to it!!! Just gotta put a baggie or something on the keyboard! The worst part is when it starts to wear off and your mouth feels all tingly and weird and itchy. Plus I've got to work tomorrow night 11p-7a and the night after that, same time :( Damn I'll be at work when it's wearing off, too. Blah. I hope he uses a really small gauge needle... the last dentist I worked for had needles so thin that they would fit into a PORE! He has massaging chairs, bird feeders outside of each floor-to-ceiling window complete w/ bird watching guides in every operatory, Hot towels behind your neck and a DVD player with Holy Cow earphones so you had your choice to either listen to music or watch your fav movie! He even has a massage therapist on staff to relax his patients before hand and serves Latte's (cappachino... too hard to spell... tried anyway lol) after! It was like going to the Spa but it was the dentist. He even did like this "woo woo" thing with "pressure point massage", or Accupressure, before the shot so between that and the teensy weensy gauge needle even the biggest of chickens left shaking their heads that "that didn't hurt a bit". Problem was... the policy... you needed to pay all up front (a LOT) and the ins. co. would (maybe) reimburse you. Great Company to work for tho... he flew the whole office to Phoenix for an entire week for a Seminar on Periodontics (gum care) and we stayed at the Embassey Suites! Two rooms... 6 nights... $250 BONES A NIGHT EACH ROOM! Wowza... not to mention the airfare, food, drinks, even room service! Ah! All that was missing was... guess who??? lolol
*hint* starts with a "G"!
Well I've strayed off long enough!

I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanx for listening to lonely me! BF=Day person...Me=Night Owl :(

[mystylady]

...lol
sorry I'll try to refrain from using the computer when I'm sleep deprived and in pain from now on...

GREAT NEWS!

My toothache just "went away". I didn't even need to go to my appointment. Just like that. And to think that I seriously thought I was a gone-er. Everything else is OK too. I can't even describe how awful it was. I'm just so very grateful that it's over.

Life is Good :-)

[francesca]
