4. Oh, I got pain alright.

Tried to wean myself off the percs - used ibuprofen and a topical anbesol

I already knew the ibuprofen (advil) would give me a dirty stomach/mouth taste feeling -

But it was worse than I remembered, could not eat, and had a constant headache.

Just started the percs around 6:30pm, 2-1/2 hours ago.

headache almost gone ( I NEVER get headaches normally) - stomach and mouth almost feel normal.

pain is already coming back, but not supposed to take any more percs for another 1-1/2 hours according to the script - and supply is running short.

Previous experience with our local hospital leads me to believe they will not renew the script -

one "doctor" went so far as to say after a previous pain issue - "no pain, no gain"

I literally shit myself numerous times as a result of the following pain issues.

tomorrow I WILL visit my local hospital and see what their response will be this time.

not optimistic of the outcome

(sigh)

p.s.:

One thing to be happy about I suppose -

those were the LAST of my teeth

I will not have to suffer like this again.
