@lioness Thank you. I was supposed to have 2nd molar out last Tuesday, but the week before I had a flashback to Sept.27 when had stitch in hand etc. at emerge and woke up shaking head to toe; since restarting dental work over the past months (my previous long time dentist became ill and passed away so teeth neglected); I had multiple fillings and one extraction Dec. 28. So I wondered if the numbing medication dentist used has changed my neuropathy (which I could overcome without meds) to this shaking inside and increased pain.
So I called hospital and it was epinepherine-laced lidocaine; and : tooth out end of December , liocaine; and the 4 separate appointments, fillings: Arnacaine.... I have no idea IF these ....caine medications exasperated my neuropathy but from reading have to be careful also if patient has thyroid problems, i have hypothyrid: if they have P.N, if they are on Clonazepam.

For all I know the dental meds have nothing to do with internal tremors etci BUT maybe they do... so research comes up with : everything they use can cause problems - surprise, surprise. So tomorrow I am phoning the Oral Surgeon and of course made mistake of checking that out and it could be even worse side effects (yes, I have Generalized Anxiety). Talk abut: a little learning is a dangerous thing!

Decision made (I think) is to put myself in their hands and whatever happens, happens, I cant go around with a sore tooth that MIGHT require antibiotic, would rather it out asap; been there done that ten years ago and allergic to Ampicillin etc. from dentist.

HOnestly, listing all these things (plus my other list) makes me feel I should join Whiners Anonymous.. but as far as I know, I didn't knowingly cause any of my illnesses, and so appreciate being able to discuss on here without being told to :
suck it up, buttercup" - which has been said to me by those who aren't ill !! Hope you and all have a good rest of the weekend. J.

@lacy2 I like your post and sounds like you are in a better place now Roosevelt said The only thing you have to fear is fear itself .I like this quote We can overcome fear just make up your mind to let it go .Glad your calling Dr tomorrow ,same here. Let me know how things go

Hi and I’ve read a few of the posts and you’re not alone as others of us can relate. The “...caine” meds always gave me instant heart racing until it wore off and that was before I had any health related issues (now I have a huge list too from car accident injuries/TBI). Internal tremors are on my radar because I think that’s what’s started up in my body and I’m not sure what can be done. I spoke to my new family medicine doctor but she had no input other than adding “shaking” to my long list of diagnosis’s. I have a lot of specialist doctors but not sure which ones deal with this or what to do about it. You mentioned tremors and I’m new to having them so thought I’d write. I hope your upcoming appointments go ok!!
