Oh well here I sit at 4 in the morning...tooth throbbing. Went to the dentist yesterday and he set up an appointment to pull it in a few weeks. Well I am going tomorrow and waving my $ at a few dentist to pull it today. Have been in pain long enough and if I do not need to be I will not. So you say what does this have to do with fissures? Well in the process of having my derriere rebuilt completely from the inside out and losing tons of weight it will wreck havoc on your body. This tooth is a product of that so...eat and eat as well as you can. The old saying you are what you eat is very true. OK Now for the good things I have received since I've had fissures?? The ability to turn off that faucet in the tub with my feet...weight loss...can any body give any up side to this pain in the a**? Ah yes sleep deprivation which makes me delirious.

Ahhh.. hang in there sweetie..

Sterling,
I worried about this the whole time I had my fissure. I know I was seriously lacking with what my body needed as I barely ate enough to stay alive, Lol.
Like you said I learned how to turn the faucet on and off with my feet too, Lol.
I hope the sleep deprivation is a thing of the past for you! How's your healing coming along?

Well I am waiting to get the tooth pulled so it is still throbbing and the antibiotics the put me on for the tooth abscess are killing my tail. Now dont let me sound all bad! I just worry about upsetting my intestinal track and fissures.I am using aloe for the burn and coconut oil for protection and have doubled up on the baths. This was also my first week back at work so that was fun. I work for the state of Georgia inspecting restaurants so I am in and out of the car all day and do alot of crawling around under and over greasy equipment. I do feel better getting out of the house but have been sedentary except for housework and short walks for awhile now. I will go Monday and find a dentist to yank it out that day.I have flexril that on days I do not have to go to work I will take . It is a great relaxer but knocks me out. I took one last night and caught up on some well needed sleep. Things will be good when the tooth is out. Thanks you guy's.
