This is going to be short. I have a few things to catch you up on, but just focussing on the most important thing today.
A filling came out of one of my teeth, and the delay in seeing a dentist meant the tooth broke. But I couldn't get a sooner appointment with my dentist, and was eventually forced to call 111 (the non-life-threatening emergencies phone number) to get an emergency dentist appointment with someone else., because the pain was incredibly bad, and the stress of dealing with it was triggering anxiety-related asthma issues.
But that was only how the whole thing started.
What should have been a simple - though unpleasant, thanks to my body refusing to react properly to the numbing attempts - tooth extraction has ended up with me fighting a fever and nasty infection. All because the dentist wouldn’t listen when I said I should have antibiotics due to being prone to infections.
I ended up calling 111 again a few days later, and spending the night at the hospital while they tried to do something to help. However, other than verifying my breathing issues were just anxiety-related, and giving me an x-ray to make sure no piece of tooth was left behind causing issues, all they could do was give me a load of antibiotics to take, because I can’t take Paracetamol or painkillers of any kind for various reasons, so all I could do was put up with feeling crappy and being in agony until the antibiotics did their job. The stress of which was still causing anxiety-related asthma issues.
I'm doing a lot better now, but it has not been a fun couple of weeks, let me tell you.
