Week 4

Thursday 15/10/09

Well, after thinking I was pretty much healed earlier in the week, now I'm having a bad day yet again. Probably feels about like it did back in week 2.

Sigh.

But from what I read, it goes this way. Good days, bad days and eventually you have more of the former.

It also seems like it's worse if I'm tired and run down. So time for a bit of a health kick!

Friday 16/10/09
Marginally better today, though the pain and burning keep moving to different parts of my tongue. I just don't get what's going on at all. Doctor was no help, endodontist also no help. I don't understand why they just fob me off instead of explaining things. And they get pissed off if I seem to have done any research, yet they also seem to know nothing about the condition!

Anyway, pain rating: 4
Sensations: little bit of burning, can't feel cold sensations as much as I could before, and the burning moves around. But better than yesterday.

What have I learned: alcohol and lack of sleep seem to exacerbate it and send my recovery backwards.

Weekend

Similar pattern over the weekend - pain/burning comes back, then it goes away. And repeat. And repeat.

  1. I can relate with your Friday 16/10/09 comment, well said. They don't know anything about our condition but for some reason still are annoyed that we as educated people would dare research on our own. Good for you for keeping active. I let the pain get to me for too long. I'll try and be more active from here on in .

  2. Yeah, definitely doing sport helps. I go sculling in the mornings and it makes me feel much better
