Gonna individualize this.
Saly- Thank you for the offer. I may just take you up on it.
KD- Not many people around here does the IV & if they do, it’s $300 out of pocket. They really don’t recommend it. Well, it’s my mouth, not theirs! But I can’t make someone give me an IV. They said it would take 3 times. 1 for the canal & 2 more at my reg. dentist for the crowns.
Fairygirl- Hugs are very much appreciated! Thank you! I have been doing well in going for my yearly checkups w/ dental, vision, & the dreaded gyno. But doesn’t mean it’s easy. I just fear not knowing more than having people touching me.
1 day- We don’t have many dentists around here. As it is they have to send me an hour away. When I ask for like the IV or sedation, they pretty much treat me like, well, why do you need it. I tried explaining the diss. & they didn’t understand, or maybe didn’t believe. Actually I was looking online for different procedures. Like the new needle free numbing agent Oraqix. Nobody ever heard of that around here.
Radio_flyer- That made me laugh! I’m sure he’s heard of things like that before from people on gas. No problem on posting in here. Glad you did ‘cos yours before made me smile! So I thank you for having an ‘oopsie’ in here.
ZH- Thank you for the help. My new dentist wouldn’t give me a script for anxiety or even pain med. So I had to go to my reg. doc. Glad I did though. She knows a little ‘bout diss. I got a script for Ativan & Naproxen as well as samples of Effexor XR. I hope they work for me. I’m going thru intense therapy sessions as well so this tooth thing just adds to the crap. But as my husband said, My tooth is just not waiting. My doc even offered to write a letter to the new dentist. So I had to call then she called back for the name & address. That was nice. Usually the nurses call you back, but w/ her, most times SHE herself calls. I like her.
Skylrks- I requested to have my husband in the room w/ me. He has to drive me there anyways. I can’t travel that far. & he knows my ‘signs’ of when I’m not being me.
Place- Just being here in the group helps & knowing you all are here for me. I’m not able to give much to others either when they are going thru some rough times. I just let them know I understand & am there.
Wanttoheal- You traveled 10 hours? Wow! Must’ve been worth it. When I had my wisdoms extracted before I kept asking for more novocaine. I would swear to you up & down that I could still feel pain. They were like You shouldn’t be feeling anything. I couldn’t explain that no matter how much you give, someBody will feel. I explained that to my doc just today & she understood.
Silver- Thank you SOOO much for that site. It is just wonderful! I read a lot of it & it helped ease my anxiety like you wouldn’t believe. Do we have a place here where you can post sites? Like for this one- Dental fear & trauma- www. etc. com. I look around for sites but it’s mostly word of mouth. If we had a separate forum where we could go to a particular one, that would be so cool. Do we have that here at PC? Can we?
Monty- I had asked my T if she knew of any good dentists & there was one right across from her office (I see her in her office north on Tues’). I had called & the lady said he was very sympathetic to mental issues. BUT I couldn’t get in till the end of April & then he might not even be able to do mine, depending on how the roots are. But when I’m done w/ this canal, I will be switching to him. He’s 40 min. away so I had to ask my husband. He needs to drive me there. I feel for him. He already has an hour drive to work one way. Next Tues. he’s going in half a day, come home, pick me up for my appt. then come back home. That’s nearly 4 hours of driving he’ll be doing. He loves me!!
Dalila- You know, they are sending me to an Endodontist. I didn't know there was much difference. Hope your experience wasn't too bad for you.

Thank you all for helping me thru this.
Love,
RhysMadison
