hi lioness, my at sign not working on keyboard; wondering how you make out today; i have to go back to dentist tomorrow the one he took out last Thursday has a bone chip in it...not looking forward to him digging around. Woke up at 6 with occular migraine, had them for long time, but several times, this being about the 4th, as waiting for flashing lights to stop, then cannot remember names of doctors, pills, neighbours etc.My daughter found something on Internet about it but i dont feel like reading yet. Takes about 2 hours and then i can think straight again, very unnerving. \
Then the EnT i waited over 6 months for phoned and started yelling at me... i put phone on speaker so husband could hear... he was upset i was mentioning things that happened since i saw him 2 yrs ago and he said he is dealing with patients with cancer etc. etc. he said has 18 people begging to see him etc., told me to stop talking and listen to him etc. I have never ever been spoken to by a dr like that, and he said 3 times, i have to go! Total ten minutes. at the end he said if you want at ct scan i will give you one (not knowing i had one last year which i was going to tell him via another emerge clinic.) so a completely upsetting day and crying and just lying here.... its just one effing thing after another. in themselves not as bad as others i do realize but when i make my list, its enough for me! I 'do' feel for our 2 ent's for 54,000 people but i waited so long about ear issues and he started talking about tmj 30 years ago and my dentist now says i dont have it...anyway, .as they say, just venting, but i then start blaming myself for how i handle things. I am sure its covid etc affecting drs etc. as 2 years ago, and he took took out half my thyroid 10 yrs ago, he was very nice, i was shocked. I am lifted when i hear others stories of what they are going through and how they are getting through it but i just cant do it..... xxx
@lioness. Ugh, mouth sores are so painful. Are these canker sores? Besides warm saltwater rinses or sucking on iced chips, there are a couple of over the counter rinses that can help. Orajel and Gly-oxide. Unfortunately if they’re aphthous ulcers, which are recurrent canker sores, they’re viral and not much can be done. They’re self limiting but miserable until they disappear.
