I'm not feeling well today. I awoke in the early hours (4.30ish)with terrible toothache. I took some strong painkillers and they've really knocked the stuffing out if me. I've been feeling sick and lightheaded all day. I tried going back to bed, but couldnt sleep so i decided going out in the fresh air might be a better way to cope with it. I knocked up some sandwiches and a nice fruit salad and some nibbles and hubs and I headed off to a little village ( ive posted pics of before) and sat and ate our picnic by the river. It was pretty busy there. Lots of families picnicing and kids swimming and playing in and around the river.....just like when I was a kid! A lovely couple of hours. I still feel whoozy and have toothache, but feel happier at least having spend some time relaxing in the sun.
I love that you made the best of the situation with a pick nick and lovely pics. I can tell by your face you are not feeling well. I hope you can get into a dentist to take care of that tooth ache.
@SteveTomms thanks Steve. Im off to the dentist just now. The painkillers have made ne feel awful. I can barely stay away and feel very queasy. I've called in sick for tomorrow. I need rest.
Instead of the strong pain med (which makes you feel bad), try (2) 500mg Tylenol (acetaminophen) and (2) 200mg Advil (ibuprofen) together every 6 hours and not on an empty stomach. Ice the side that hurts.
Rinse with Listerine every evening and morning. Will kill whatever is hurting.. There is a tipover point though and at some point you probably need a root canal.
@RubySoo I have a few like that too. The money hungry dentist wants to crown all my teeth, but crowns don't always work. I had to get a root canal through one of them, and another one fell off when flossing once. I was wondering if implants might make more sense and be more permanent. Cost about the same as a root canal, and cheaper than getting a crown and then a root canal on top by a grand or so. Maybe look into that?
