sept 9 2009

Starting to get that strange sick feeling that led me to get my tooth pulled, and I think the strange area with pain/pressure from the upper left molars through that left maxillary sinus right above it and through to the left eye needs looking into. Otolaranygologist?

I forgot that holes from pulled teeth need special maintenance with EI patients, to keep all food particles and anything out (so trapped infections don't happen), until the hole seals, and didn't remember till it was too late.

Maybe coincidentally, maybe not, ragweed season should be well underway now. The usual throat itching that lets me know it's started hasn't happened though. They're advertising flu shots as if we all need them, but I don't recall ever having had one. Not sure what flu is, apart from being like a bad cold, except muscle aches, which I have. I've been attributing that to my greater arthritis than usual.

More arthritis has accompanied this whole tooth business in the last few weeks. So, something that seems like an infection (to me, not that I'd know), plus arthritis-- which I think is an [i]over-active[/i] immune system. Meaning??
