I’m a month after surgery.. and I am so absolutely miserable.

This whole ordeal started in March..

All four of my teeth were impacted and infected at the same time, and the nerve was wrapped around the roots that had fused to my jaw. There was a 50-80% chance of nerve damage per tooth.

This has affected every part of my body. From head and chest colds, insane high blood pressure (the worst was 222/190 when I had a head cold, chest cold, two ear infections, a broken rib and a bladder infection at the same time), throwing up all day every day..broken ribs from throwing up so much, bladder infection from not being able to get my face wet and shower. Only sleeping 45 minutes a night, 4 failed surgeries...And I can keep going.

Like 30 doctors were like “this is an emergency, but we don’t handle teeth” or handing me off to specialists. The specialist i needed was almost 3 hours away. And their first consulation was in November (9months away)..i got them to move it up to last month. I was seeing 3 doctors a week for 4 months.

Anyway, I have nerve damage in 3. My right side feels like electricity and my eye is popping out, and my left side feels like it’s actively broken. Im now in so much pain im throwing up again. I just pulled my back out from throwing up. The other week I broke two toes trying to get to a toilet to puke. I just want to eat or drink something not room temperature.

I can’t leave the house because I’ll just randomly start throwing up. I nearly fainted in the barbers chair. If it flairs up I start seeing stars. I can’t have people over, because I’ll start throwing up. I’m constantly flinching and shaking from the pain. One dentist was like “why are you so sweaty? And why are you trembling?”

Because my face is on fire. I’m starving, nauseated and so thirsty.

Am I the first person with teeth? How is this okay? I had two days of no pain since March. What is happening?

The only thing that has worked to help my nausea is a medicine that they give chemo patients.. tums ain’t cutting it.

And I tell the doctors everything that’s happening and they’re like, “take some Tylenol”. Maam, we’re past OTC pain meds. Oxy didn’t even work.

I’m just really fed up. Thank you listening to me vent.
