(((Petunia)))

Oh I am so sorry for what you are going thru too...but thank you for sharing...because I feel so stupid...trying everything I can think of to avoid being in that chair with that person over me..

You right it is very much a control thing..I have the same issues with sedation, surgeries...and yes even medication...I have to be ready..ready for what I dont know..but just ready..ready..ready..ready..

But with the dentist and GYN..it is so yuck...I finally get so embarrased from cancelling appts, after I see them one time..after a year or two will try and see someone else...if they dont fix the problem, like pull the tooth, or want me to come back for further work up...its cancel cancel cancel...until I get ill or sick from whatever...like this dang tooth!!!..then again so embarrased from cancelling all the time, I move on to someone else in an acute state...its a very destructive repetative cyle of treatment..but I am soooo sorry...dont kow how to explain it to the doctors who only see a non-compliant patient...they dont understand...the desperation..the pain, and confusion...

Thanx Petunia...I picked up some antiseptic wash and will take a bunch of Ibuprofen...hope your toothache calms down too...
