I've now been awake for 32 hours
Since midnight of yesterday. Its 8AM now, I think my math is right. I have got to get my wisdom teeth taken care of. I've been taking Aleve and Tylenol PMs and had a beer for breakfast to try dull the senses. I'm rambling, and I know no one here can help, but I just wanted to complain to someone. :(

1. Sorry for your troubles.
Do you have an appointment for the teeth? Take care.

2. well.. no
Its a long, not terribly interesting story but I don't have insurance right now. I'm trying to put it off just a tad longer. It's my own fault.

3. Be careful about mixing Tylenol and beer...
Tylenol, specifically, and alcohol can cause liver damage, even in relatively non-huge quanitites. (It won't hurt on occasion -- hell, Nyquil has alcohol in it -- but don't make a habit of it.)

Feel better. :hi:

4. Thanks.. I know I shouldn't
this is not a regular practice though. On top of it, I take Depakote by prescription, which I think is also a liver drug. Must get it taken care of.

6. You have to be very careful drinking alcohol when

taking Depakote. Talk to your doctor, please. You may think you want to die with your toothache but I doubt you really do! ;-)

Maybe I'm telling you things you already know but you really need antibiotics ASAP. You can't have anything done with your teeth until the infection is under control. Maybe you can find a dentist who will prescribe the antibiotics you need and help you finance payment for the work you'll need done. I think many dentists work that way since so many people don't have dental insurance or spare money on hand to pay for root canals, wisdom teeth extraction, etc.

Good luck!
