Update on dental drama!

After weeks of back and forth debates with insurance. I decided to schedule surgery with or without coverage. I also made one last call to ins co. I promised the next call would be to insurance council. My plan approved it with no fuss but my spouses plan had issues due to my anomalies. I have two roots in eye tooth.

I did a week of IV antibiotics. It was exhausting going to hospital everyday. It also had no effects on abscess. I have it corrected on the 23rd. I am hoping this will help me feel better. I still have fevers daily. It is sucking the live out of me. But happy news is insurance found missing X-ray and approved procedure. At least now it won’t cost me so much.

If you have fibromyalgia? This can have problems with dentistry, I Carnot say what exactly, thought I would mention it.

I have been told I have Fibromyalgia but this was before RD diagnoses. My body does not process Lyrica so it is untreated. It seems my body does not respond well to any drugs. After several days of fever and sleeplessness I am vulnerable to everything. I am reluctant to see doctor for pain mess. Going to the hospital everyday for iV also made me paranoid. I am becoming a recluse lol

Hi, I had surgery Thursday. It seems he failed to mention the biopsy. I am anxiously awaiting results. The swelling is mostly gone.

Some of these professionals could do with remembering that patients are also people. Fingers crossed for a happy result from the biopsy. Hugs
