Well hopefully this is just about done. I am getting sick of sleeping all day and all the next day because of being drugged up to work on my teeth. I have slept now for two days straight. The drugs are finally wearing off and I am getting back to normal sleeping habits.
Well the front is done and the right side this time. Last time it was the left side and front bottom.. Allot of drilling and such. At least there was no root canal done on this side just fillings. My two front teeth now look a heck of allot better but now I lisp a little. See I even do it when I am typing. So now I can say I have a whole new mouth. Well that is just a bit of a saying. My mouth is still the same old quiet don't say a word mouth. Or the sometimes put her foot in it big time. Or is that just me in general. I think it is just me in general.
Other then the dentist thing going on. My alcer seems to be doing allot better. I can now get my food down again with out having to chase it down with water. That is a good thing. I have also been feeling allot less pain here lately as well.. So the fibro is on the mend for now. I know it will never completely go away but for now I am enjoying not having so much pain. I am up and around and playing in the garage at the work bench. Got a project done the other day that I have been working on little by little since last winter. So today i drew up a new project to work on. Now if I can keep up the energy to kep=ep working on it. I hate stating something and then it gets put on the back burner because I am not feeling well enough to do it. Well it could be the new herbal stuff I am taking. Just have to wait and see next week whether it is a bad thing to be taking from the doc. She doesn't know I have changed a few things. But hey if it is making me feel better I will try it and hope for the best.
I still don't sleep to well. There is allot of tossing and turning through the night. Just to get dang comfortable in order to get some sleep. But I do eventually get what I need.
The brain frogs have taken a trip as well. I don't seem to be a confussed and out of it. So that is a great thing as well.
I know I am talking about how I might be doing better. I better not jinx it too badly or I might be in for a let down here and all the pain and brain fog and grumpyness will come back to haunt me again. But I hope to keep this up as long as I can. It just feels so dang good right now. I want to go out and dance. But that just may put me back again. So no dancing for now. Maybe just a little jig.
Think it suits the mood

well back to the dentist again
Another big bucks visit to the dentist coming up here tomorrow.
Oh! such fun this will be. I have to get the caps put on two of my teeth and then some more fillings done. Doesn't this just sound like fun.. well at least I will be a sleep for it. I hate the visits to the dentist. All that drilling sound going on and that crying and cringing. (OH that is just me sorry) Yeah I hate the dentist. I know they are suppose to make things better but when they drill your tounge when you are a kid it doesn't make you want to go back anytime soon. Soo sleeping is a good thig through this. It is just when you wake up half way through and they are still doing things in your mouth that you start to worry about it. Yeah i woke up last time and the first thing I notice is my mouth is being held open and they are still drilling in there. Stop the boat now I want to get offf!! She told me that at one point on my last visit my blood pressure went up. well when you wake up and start to notice things I think your blood pressure would go up. Go figure!!
Well I will see what will become of tomorrow. At least I will get a good nights sleep out of it.
You know I would have still had pretty good teeth until I got Sjogrens. My mouth went dry and my mouth has never been the same. My mouth gets yeast build up in it. It needs water all the time. I can't seem to talk half the time because it feels like there is marbles in my mouth. And to top it all off i start getting cavities galour. Wonderful.
I have tried a new regime here to help me out a little. You know it is working for now. I have more energy and I feel allot better. Pain killers are to a minimum. My aches and pains have decided to subside a little and life just seems to be doing allot better. I still have to talk it over with my doc in a couple of weeks before I start to talk about it. But for now I think part of my poblem has been my thyroid. So what I am taking now seems to be helping out. If it is my thyroid. I seem to be lossing a little weight and I am doing better all around. So I think it is time to get that checked out. Now I am just hoping that what I am taking is not going to be dangerous to me in the long run. I don't want to end up having cancer or something because I do the wrong thing. well will just have to wait and see what she says. I am reading in one sudy that it is good to take this and in another study that it may be harmful. But for now feeling better in a good thing for me. It means I can keep moving and doing the things I love.
So as you can see I am a little more happier now. I am out working in my shop. Work seems to be a little better for me and half the pain has gone south. my mood is allot better. Lovin it. Hope it keeps up and the doc doesn't give me shit for trying to self medicate on herbal remedies.
Well will see in two week before I head on a holiday. Suppose to be getting on the back of a bike a touring around the States. well will see how sore I feel after afew days of that. You will hear about that in my other blog when I get back. Well wish me luck on that will you.

Well maybe there is a something at the end of the tunnel
I am trying a new regreem. It consists of taking magneseum and iodine. I started the magneseum a couple o weeks ago and started on an iodine supplement here yesterday. So far so good. I went down a few pounds and I am not feeling as sore and tired as I usually do.
There was a few days in there but that was because I was working a couple of eight hour shifts and my hubby decided that I should do a little more exercise. He took me on a walk that is longer then I usually walk. By the time night rolled around and I was working, boy was I getting sore and stiff. well it seems that after four days I am finally getting back to normal. Well for what normal is for me.
Anyways I think that these two pills are working for me. There are days but they are far and inbetween right now. I am almost human again. Mind you they may not be for everyone but for me they seem to be working just fine. I haven't taken any pain killers in over a month now. Well that is a lie. I had a headache one day and had to take something before the migrain started. I think this is pretty good for me. For over the past year and half that was all I was taking and I was getting down in the dumps and the pain just kept getting worse and I just didn't feel like doing anything.
I have also cut down on some of the junk I have been ingesting as well. Chocolate, which seemed to be a mainstay for me lately is down allot and also I use to drink a few bottles of the diet drink as well. This is what was probaly taking away my magneseum. The aspertaim. But now I regulate what I am putting into my body. yeah I still have some once in while but have cut back allot. That could have been the cause of the migraine. The lack of aspertaim in my system. or the lack of pain killers I was taking and I was going into withdrawel. Well as I say. I do feel better. but there are days when I would still just love to crawl into bed and stay there.
So I'll give this another month before I head back to see the doc again. tell her what I have been doing and then maybe she will give me shit or maybe she will not. Don't know but what works for me is not doing me anymore harm then what I do when i take all those pain pills.
That just gave me an alcer. Go figure. well I seem to have that going pretty good too right now. I can swallow again. Food goes down without a tub of water.
so all around besides the few bad days I get once in while when I over do it. I am doing great. Hurray give myself a pat on the back. Oh no that might hurt and flair up the fibramialgia. Well I will take my chances.
Next month will tell. Have another appointment with dentist to take care of the rest of my teeth and then the big bike ride for two weeks. See how that goes. Hubby is worried that we will get somewere and then I will have to take a plane home because I can't ride the bike anymore. well just have to see how it goes. I know this problem is along for the ride but I will give it my best shot and hope for the best.

Finally Sleepyness is gone
I 've been asleep or whoosy the past two days. Not from being tired but from having some dental work done.
Oh gee that was a fun time. I get in there at 8:30 in the morning and didn't get out of that chair until 5:30.
When I got there they put me into the chair. Then covered me with a blanket. Tucked me in nice and cosey, Then gave me three pilles in a cub and two more mixed in with some orange juice. YUK!!! The next thing they did was layed me back so I was almost up side down. Here is when first problem started. My back just went into spasems. I could feel my lower back and hips start to hurt and then between my shoulder blades really started joining in. I have to move and wiggle and hopefully get into a comfortable position. Well to now availe on that. Then they ask are you getting sleepy yet. NO I hurt too dang much. So they went and got me a towel to see if that would ease the pain. Not much better. You know I could sit up for a minute or two until drugs take effect. No to much risk of you falling over. So I had to lay in that position. Lovely. So finnaly they thought of getting me massage pillow and warming it up. Helped a little. Took the tention off my neck and made my back feel a little better.
After a few minutes just don't remember anything until I started to awake around 3:30. That is when I noticed that they were still drilling and such. Oh heavens I hate that sound. It just went on and on and on. I am fully awake now. Oh please let me go back to sleep. I think I may have dosed a little more but kept waking up to that dang awful drilling. Finnally that stopped and they tried putting in the tempoary caps. They got one in easily and the other one in easily but the third one Just wouldn't go were they wanted it to. No snapping on without pushing into my gums. Dang that hurt. Just a few more minutes and we will get this right. Yeah right this is my mouth you are playing with here. So a little more carving off of the cap and try again. Well it is in there now I still don't think it is right. Hopefully when the new caps come in they will fit a little better. So the work they did today was on my left side. Top and bottom and bottom front. You mean I have to do this again to do the other side? OH come on!!! Once is enough.
Finally it is 5:30 and I want to sit up. No you can't do that. You may be too unstable. The problem is unstable or not I want to get my back were it is not hurting. So whether they like it or not I say I am sitting up. So two ladies stood there and made sure I didn't fall over. Up okay but am very light headed. Boy does that feel funny. World is spinning but my back feels better.
My ride is finally here to pick me up. Now they want me to pay. Excuss me! I can't even concintrate on standing up and walking and you want me to do an interact. I said I will come tomorrow and pay when i am coherant. Well at least they took that as an okay to leave. Didn't even get to walk out of there. A nice ride in a wheel chair. Out and over the ramp and down to the car. Next thing. Getting out of chair to get in car. Head spinning the whole time. Lovely ride home. The world is going places and I am not.
Well I finally get home. Aw no more ride in a wheel chair. had to walk in the house. That was the longest walk of my life right there. So now having not eaten anything since the night before I had to try and eat something. To get something in my stomach. A little soup is all I could do. Then I went and layed on the couch. Oh world stop spinning. I have had enough. It is eight o clock and I am going to bed.
You know that is the best night sleep I have had in a long time. Slept until 7 oclock the next day. Still a little whoosey, Now the problem is I have to face a day at work. And a morning shift to boot. Boy was that a long day. Glad it wasn't busy were I was. But kept myself busy so I wouldn't think about anymore sleep. Came home and did the best thing I thought possible. I went back to bed again. Woke up a couple of hours before any of the family got home and wanted supper.
Well that was the trying experince with the dentist. I really don't like this desease as it is rotting my teeth. I had pretty good teeth up until now. Only a couple of cavities in 20 years. Now I have to get a mouth full done and have them drilled down to were they have caps on them. Should just pull them all out and then I don't have to do this again. Yeah but then I have to deal with dentures or gumming everything. Well that would be a way to loose some weight. I can't eat I should be able to loose weight. Or starve to death.
So now until next time. Another appointment at the end of July. At least I think that is when it will be. Oh goody. More sleep for me. But they still have to look after the rest of my teeth. I think I could livewith the cavities thank you. Yeah I know rotten teeth do not look very good. So I guess I have to go back. To get new caps on and fill the rest of the holes that are forming on the other side. Great.
