(100,654 posts)Worse than it sounds. I was homeless the first two times it abscessed and I got c-diff the second time. Winter was coming on and I was living in my car but a friend who was out of town let me stay at their place for ten days and so I had shelter during that spell but I still ended up in so much pain for a day that all I could do was hold my head and rock back and forth, seriously, I was reduced to that. After a second visit to the ER I was given an alternate antibiotic and probiotics and that took care of it for the time.
I always have problems with the mic, I don't do well with a bunch different meds so I avoid them. I was able to reconnect with my dental group who had installed the crown, in another state, and was able to get all my needed dental issues taken care of, I had to do a lot of driving but it was worth it. And they use the kind of anesthetics that work on me, whatever it is they use in my state doesn't put me out enough and I fight back without realizing it. Sliding scale fee and friends to stay with kept the costs low, by then I had been housed for a couple years.
