@raspberrytorte I am glad you are feeling better now, well not glad about your bad period but you know what I mean. You sound a lot more positive. Sorry about the anxiety. I definitely can relate to that.

@Moose72 I'd go with the pdoc's diagnosis. I don't really know that your T has known you long enough to make a diagnosis like that and she doesn't have the medical training a pdoc does. Just my 2 cents.

Blue_Bird Ugh, I know about anxiety with getting weighed at the pdoc. Mine weighs me every appt. But not just me, he weighs all his patients at every appt. because I've heard him calling in patients before me while I'm in the waiting room before the door closes, and he says, "Now let's check your weight" to every one of them before the door will close. It is nerve-wracking to me. I've thought of asking him if he can just not check my weight because of my past with an ED but then I'm always thinking well if he starts noticing a weight trend up or down due to a medication or shift in my bipolar, it would be beneficial to me. And I have a scale at home anyway, so it's not exactly like I don't know my weight.

Thanks everyone for the sympathy with my tooth. It is much appreciated. I really wish I didn't have such bad dental anxiety; I've had it since I was a kid even before I developed out-and-out full panic disorder, well, truthfully I've always been anxious about everything since I was a kid - school, home life with an abusive father, meeting strangers, making friends, new places, seeing the doctor, the dentist, the eye doctor, death, getting sick, pretty much you name it, I had anxiety about it.

To get back to the tooth, the dental appt. went well. The dentist was able to fix the larger chip with just a filling and she smoothed out the smaller chip. She said the tooth may still ache from the pressure for up to 2-3 weeks because the trauma of the fall likely bruised the tooth. Then she told me the trauma can in cases cause the nerve to die anywhere from weeks to YEARS after the injury and that's something just to deal with when the time comes. I really hope that doesn't happen to me, but I guess no use worrying about it until I have something to actually worry about.

But from the fall itself, not only does the tooth ache, but my scraped knees and hands and elbow are throbbing. I took some Tylenol but I don't think it's helped much. I will be happy once I start healing!
