If you’ve seen me or conversed with me in the last week, you know I’ve been suffering from intense wisdom tooth pain. Unfortunately, due to my work schedule, I wasn’t able to see an oral surgeon until today, Saturday. As I type this, I’m sitting in front of my MacBook feeling exactly how I felt all week, awful. Why, you ask?
Apparently another medication I’m taking suppresses my body’s ability to heal, so I’m unable to have my inflamed mouth operated on for four or months or more. Great! Fortunately, I was prescribed a medicated mouthwash to help my mouth, and I should be back to ‘normal’ in a few days. Unfortunately, somewhere around Winter or Spring break, I’ll have to go have oral surgery on four wisdom teeth at once.
Moral of the story? I suppose everyone should be hyper-aware of the medications they’re taking.
