So glad the tooth part of all this is over for you Melly. I know how truly awful the gums/teeth/ears/jaw/down to elbow pain can be. I would sooner give birth to all 5 children again than have another night of that!

Hoping the Dr can give you something that begins to work on your '4 boxes' - sounds horrible. Poor you. Take care and let us know how you got on XX Ailsa

Good luck with the doctor today Melly. Glad your mouth and its problems are on their way to being sorted.

Hi Melly,

I could cry for you being in so much pain for so long, I had an abscess when I was 7 and I paced the floor through the night and I cried with the pain. Mum gave me medicine but there is only so much you can do, I'm 51 now and still remember well. I had it dealt with the following day, and I am horrified you have had to wait so long. The inflammation cant have done your RA and other symptoms any good. Any pain in your head feels much worse than anywhere else, I am so glad you are finally getting to the bottom of it. You deserve some peace and happy news now I hope and pray you get some extra good news soon. ThumpUp Sending hugs and good wishes Lorna xx

It must be such a relief that your tooth has healed up, but you've got so many other problems to deal with. I do hope your GP can help you.

I find the hot weather makes my feet swell, I've been putting them in my foot spa, it makes them more comfortable in bed then.

Love Lyn
