@kstrand1 The way I knew, even before my dentist confirmed that I did not have a dental problem (per say) Is the pain came and went. Obviously you want to be checked by a dentist to confirm but in general, tooth pain does not "go" once it comes. What I have is not like cavity, or root canal tooth pain. It's my actual teeth.. not the nerves that are below them.. it's not my jaw or gums.. and it's only the bottom 4 front teeth. It comes and goes. When I had covid the first time, it was concentrated in my head (in terms of discomfort) INCLUDING all my teeth aching. My throat was where is started and I ended up with the worst sore throat I've ever had. It was on fire. And the headache from hell. I had some body aches from a high fever, was left with daily headaches (4PM same time every day) for about 2 months, and then all these other digestive symptoms started.. followed by fatigue, then pelvic pain (I did not associate it with eating for a long time, but eventually I figured it out) and the pelvic pain would lead to very intense low back pain. Then constant chills, then bloodshot eyes, and one by one these weird symptoms kept showing up.. they would come and go but they ruined my life in the process. This started in 2022.. my teeth did not start to bother me until February of this year. It's like my body was screaming at me to do something and when I didn't, it would find a new body part to send me pain messages. I eventually started telling my doctors I felt like I had an alien inside my body. That did not do much for my credibility but by then, I no longer cared because no one had been willing to do more than repeat blood tests and or MRI's/scans. Working with an RD for 2 years provided me with the structure of keeping track and noticing that certain foods caused pelvic pain, which would then set off a cascade of other symptoms. She was the one who brought up MCAS. I had never even heard of it. My son-in-law who is a veterinarian was the one who suggested Claritan, Pepsid, and a GLP-1. I started the Pepsid and Claritan on my own, asked the dr for a GLP-1 and for the first time since 2022 don't feel like I am housing an alien in my torso, am losing weight that I gained since this all started and most all the pain I had is gone, with the tooth sensitivity only returning when I'm 1 or 2 days away from needing another weekly shot. I realize GLP's aren't for everyone and some folks here frown upon them.. as many people do in general. All fair enough, BUT the meds have helped me make progress in a battle I've been fighting for 4 years with no measurable success until I started taking them. SO I'm fully committed to staying with this protocol until something better comes along. My body was screaming at me almost every time I ate anything, and often when i didn't eat anything. I was unable to relax, sleep, and fully participate in life without constant worry about what was going to make me sick or feel like I had just been run over by a truck. This is no cop out on my part. This is relief after 4 solid years of daily suffering. It's not perfect by it's hugely better than before!!
