It's been a long week........



What started as a toothache that needed attention turned in to a root canal and a future crown. I was put on an antibiotic and pain meds for the infection, well those caused me some serious problems. Thursday evening after the root canal I was still having pain so I took more pain meds with the second round of antibiotics, that is when all the fun began. I could not sleep at all! I was dizzy.....I mean EXTREMELY dizzy and nauseated. My bed was spinning, if I sat, stood or layed down I could get no relief! Tom managed to get me to the Dr. late Friday afternoon and he gave me 2 shots of phenergan which helped with the nausea and pretty much let me sleep. He also started me on something (I forget the name of drug) for dizziness that people use for sea sickness. At the moment, 24 hrs later I am sitting on the couch with Bekah's lap top. As long as I move VERY S L O W L Y I am handling things OK. I pray I never experience symptoms like that again! Has anyone else ever have dizziness like that?

Tomorrow is my hubby's Birthday. He is a HUGE Steelers fan so we are praying for a big win!

Blessings,

Leigh Ann

So sorry to hear that. I have had one root canal and it was really a breeze. I have also had that kind of dizziness a few times in my life. It is really scary cause you don't know what caused it or how long it will last. Mine lasted thru the night and when I woke up in the morning I was fine. Hope your outcome is good. Blessings
