@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.
