Display:
spent much of the afternoon in bed, (to where I shall be retreating shortly) several years ago I had quite a few teeth taken out, in the process of which they managed to crack and sew up my sinus on one side. so now when I get a cold, I get three days after where fluid builds up between Jaw and ear, which gives me three days of earache, deafness on one side, lack of balance, massive toothache in all the teeth I no longer have and a migraine like headache that runs up the front of  my face. This all takes about three days to die away. so I'll be relatively rare here for the next couple of days till I can cope with being upright.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

ouch...

if i may?

miso soup and millet and dark green leafy veg, if you can eat at all.

hot compresses, Cephyl homeo-aspirin, calcium supplements.

avoid citrus, sweets or fried food. drink lots of fluids, unsweetened green tea, avoid stimulants like theine and caffeine.

acupuncture would be a good choice, if you know a good practitioner.

i went through hell of this type, jaw, lymph and exposed nerves from bad dentistry, and these things have been helpful.

get well soon, we'll miss you...

Thanks, eating isn't a problem, but the false teeth dont fit at the moment, I'm looking like the standard US caricature for british dentistry today. laying with my head down so the fluids drain out has got me to where i can walk around and the pain is knocked back a bit by anti-inflamatorys

unfortunately I've just moved to a new area so don't even have a new doctor yet.
