Right after Father's Day, Charlie broke of loosened a tooth. The top right
eye tooth. He cracked the tooth next to it about a year ago. And he has
nerve damage on the other side of his jaw from years ago so has trouble
chewing on that side.
Our dentist saw him right away. But the best he could do was a treatment
plan and an appointment with the only really good oral surgeon in town
today. So the last few weeks haven't been any fun. For either one of us.
I'm still itching like crazy and my doctor still hasn't isolated why. Liver
and kidneys seem to be OK and I don't look or feel sick enough for it to be
likely its something like lymphoma. (Don't you just love that our computers
help us to worry about really scary things?) Doctor thinks its a drug
reaction, but to isolate that means stopping or changing them one at a time
for at least a week. So far I know it isn't my blood pressure medicine.
In the meantime, I itch. Not my arms, legs and face thank God, but
everything else.
So we have two jumpy irritable people in this house.
This afternoon Charlie goes to the oral surgeon. I really have no idea what
they will do, or if they will do anything today.
We could really use some calming purrs and some healing purrs and prayers as
well.

Ooh That is terrible. Purrs for both of you. I just got back from a root
canal. He couldn't finish it because it was so inflamed, but at least he got
the nerve out. I thankful it was not worse than that. So, I really feel for
Charlie. I also have the "itchies'. But the allergy doc gave me zyrtec. It
was so bad I couldn't sleep at night. I never knew such relief. I sure hope
that they get yours figured out soon. It's so annoying.

Mouth and tooth problems are such a drag. It never ceases to amaze me
how such a tiny area can generate such astounding pain. I had an
abscess last spring, and all I wanted to do was shoot myself. Healing
and soothing purrs.

Have you had your thyroid checked? When my thyroid went south right
after I had my first son, the itching is what sent me to the doctor.

I've had a ton of blood work done. Thyroid is normal. Most everything else
is in the normal range except an indicator of allergic reaction. Had a cat
scan to check out internal stuff. Apparently everything is where it belongs
more or less. So liver and kidneys should be OK. Lymph nodes are normal.
I'm already on Zyrtec and on Prednisone to keep the itching to a
non-straightjacket level. Not taking any new medicine, but its always
possible to develop an allergy to an old one.
Charlie is home with a mouth full of cotton stuff and a couple of
prescriptions for me to go out and fill. Not sure entirely what's been done
except that the wiggly tooth is gone.

Owww, no fun. I got itchy as part of my reaction to codeine. But it's
easier to stop taking codeine than a life saving medication. Recently,
I discovered that I'm allergic to the plastic in Glad white garbage
bags. I still have sores from where my knees were touching the one by
my desk.
On a cat note, I collect Coke points, and the tops from the half racks
generally end up on my desk until I enter them into my web account.
Huey has just climbed on my desk, and nudged one of them into pillow
position so that he can sleep with his head wedged into the box top.
I'm a little worried about his mental state.

Purrs for Charlie. I've had to have two fillings this week so he has my
sympathy. (Things you don't want to hear, your dentist on first
inspecting a broken tooth saying "Oh my God!!!! That's a big one!!"- it
needed 2 screws to fix the filling)
