hospital trip... January 15, 2005, 08:29:26 PM alright, today was my first actual trip to a hospital, and it was rather pointless, lemme give you the backroundfor that pas 3-weeks to a month, ive had this brutal ass toothache, almost mind numbing at times, and as of recently, its been pretty nasty, itll flair up, and if i dont have something to drink, itll pretty much lay me on my assso last night i was coming from Dave and Busters, i was booking because i was having car problems, and just needed to get it home, and the toothache hit, i didnt have anything to drink or anything, so im trying to just ignore the pain, then my head basically gets full of pressure, my hearing is almost gone, my entire body goes tingly, my perception of depth went out the window, and i about panic, all i could do was *try* to say "just get home shawn, just get home"well, i get home, grab water, toothache calms, im feeling better, i go eat and go to bed, and i couldnt sleep, the pain kept me up most of the night, and when i did sleep, it was short lived, well i wake up this morning, feeling very distant, i had almost no balance, i could touch things, feel the pressure, but not really feel what i was touching, i couldnt hold anything still, i couldnt read, i was lucky enough to be able to use the bathroomi made some phone calls, my aunt takes me to the ER, after about 15 minutes, they get me in there, do the typical blood pressure, temp, asking questions, bla bla bla, then they get me to the doctor, he does the same thing, he does some tests to see if my nerological system is working proplerly, which it is at this point, they take blood, they run the blood tests, they put me through a CAT scan, hook me up to an IV of sodium chloride i believe it was, all the tests came back normal, i went through the bag they game me...and they send me homethey had no idea what happened to me, they just said "keep lots of fluid in you"......WHAT GOOD IS A HOSPITAL WHEN THEY DONT TELL YOU shiznit?!

Re: hospital trip... Reply #6 – January 15, 2005, 09:48:18 PM Sounds like you have a BAD sinus infection brewing or an impaction of a wisdom tooth/teeth. If you have a bad sinus infection, it affects your inner ear, and thus your balance can be affected and it can make you "whoosy", and the upper teeth are rooted right up to the sinus cavity. I am surprised you weren't given an antibiotic and/or a decongestant with an anti- deflamantory such as Ibuprofin or even aspirin. Do you still have your wisdom teeth? I had that occur (severe teeth pain that would come & go) and they were absessed on one side and I happened to be calling on my dentist filling his supply order, he had a cancellation and in 45 minutes I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled, fortunately they were all up and no cutting or sewing was necessary! It was fun calling on the rest of my accounts that day with bloody cotton "strings" in my mouth, at least the pain was gone! Quote Selected
Re: hospital trip... Reply #7 – January 15, 2005, 10:49:48 PM Here is my tooth story, At age 7 I fell off a bike and knocked out my four top front teeth. (perminant ones).When I grew up the dentist properly crowned the teeth (yay for dental coverage!!) Then a month later one of the teeth was knocked out by a flying 1 3/16" impact socket that busted. That tooth was then recrowned. About a year and a half later a flying brake spring (from the guy working next to me) chipped one of my teeth.I also did some dental damage stock car racing, but that was not too serious. Actually the car was a mess (rolled at 80 on a dirt oval), but I came out ok.So yes, I am my dentists best customer. I'm only 20 and already have 7 fake teeth. Quote Selected
Re: hospital trip... Reply #8 – January 15, 2005, 11:01:42 PM its not a wisdom tooth issue, i had a filling when i was maybe 7 or 8, and it came out, and now it seems at times the root will get exposed, or something will just irritate it, and the pain goes from my tooth, up my jaw, to my ear and side of my head, its a lower molar thats giving me the fitsas for ibuprofin, it doesnt touch the pain, acenominophen (sp), i took 1500 milligrams of it, doesnt touch it, took tylenol PM 3 hours ago to sleep...im still awake...and in painim definatly in need of a dentish, its just a shame that it costs do much money, i dont have any insurance at all, other than on my car, so everything is out of pocket Quote Selected

Gotta love that place, I go in, Bleeding, The woman at the front counter tells me to go to the ER desk. I go back there, Still bleeding! They tell me I need to go back up to the front desk and sign in! I go to the front desk, Sign the ed thing in blood, then they send me back to the ER! WTF is up with that! One day I was delivering a pizza, I walk up the front desk, they tell me to take it back to the ER. I told the woman, "alright, but if they tell me to bring it back up here I'm gonna be pissed"! LOL!

Re: hospital trip... Reply #14 – January 16, 2005, 02:51:22 PM Shawn, are you getting the 'tast of death' in your mouth yet? I am about 100% sure you have a sinus infection. Same thing happened to me in 2001, when I was helping work on the convertible when it was in for bodywork and paint. Filling had gotten stuck in a piece of gum and got yanked out, and me being the cooch that I am with the dentist, I decided not to do anything. All the nerve endings were exposed for almost 18 months when it finally got to my sinuses. Dizziness was almost immediate and I hocked up stuff that is just indescribable. All that pus is hanging out in your sinus cavity and causing your dizziness. Now I'm a big fan of pus but not where I can't see it ooze out. An emergency room visit netted me a bottle of enormous antibiotic horse pills that took forever to work. After the dentist visit and eventual root cbuttstuff, I felt better and got back to normal breathing and whatnot. Definitely make an appointment ASAP with a dentist. He can at least get you a prescription for antibiotics which should kick the pain and dizziness in about a week (those suckers take forever to start working). Then you'll need dental work. So not only is your tooth hurting but soon your butthole will be too. And dentists generally don't use Vasoline. Have fun! Quote Selected
