So I saw the Dr. today.....

Hi Friends
Well, just got back from the ENT Dr. appt and he found nothing wrong with me, as I suspected. I feel fine & didn't think I had a sinus infection or an ear infection. I was following up with a Medical Dr. as I was told by my dentist. He said that my dentist "needs to do better" and come up with a reason why this happened. He thinks it is related to the dental procedure/Novocaine. He did order a CAT scan as well as a B12 level but he said they are long shots as he thinks they will come back negative. So where do I go now? I don't know. I have a call in to the dentists office & am waiting for them to call me back. I am afraid I will get weepy & I don't want to do that but on the other hand, I don't want to live my life not being able to taste again. I pray this isn't my fate. I wish I never had to have this done. I cant stand the awful taste in my mouth and the thought of never being able to taste anything pleasant again is beyond words....beyond depressing.

So that's my update. Sorry its not a very upbeat post here. I'm just not feeling very happy these days.  I will just leave it up to God to fix this one. Thanks for listening.

  1. I did say prayers for you last night. I'm sorry that you don't have an answer yet, but I know you will soon. As quickly as it came, I pray that it goes away.
    Hugs my friend:)

  2. Oh no Sherri, I wish it could have been something the ENT could fix. I was reading that if the dentist hit the "taste nerve" it could result in altered taste, which usually goes back to normal several weeks later. Although why wouldn't your dentist have just said that? If your dentist can't come up with any answers maybe you should try a different dentist for a second opinion kind of thing. I'm really hoping you get some relief soon. Keep us informed.

  3. OH Sherri - wow that is not the answer that you wanted. I can't imagine how you feel, but I totally know its the dentist's fault and you should just go over there and raise all kinds of hell right there in the front office and yell if you have to, to get their attention.
    Threaten them its their fault. Big love coming your way :-)

  4. I'm so sorry. :( I was so sad for you reading this. I know how much you were hoping for an answer. Even if you never find out "why", I pray that your taste returns to normal. {{{HUGS}}}

  6. I'm sorry you didn't get the answers you need. Your dentist knows?
    I had a filling done in Dec and I was pretty numb until about a week ago. I still have a little residual numbness...who knew all that could happen. I hope you didn't have to pay $$$ for that procedure?

  7. Oh Sherri I am so sorry!! I freaking hate all medical things because of this. There are so many risks we take everything they stick or prod us with something. Big and small, and I know I take it all for granted. I bet it will come back with time, right?

  8. THank you all for being so sweet. I am emotionally better today. Just praying for the best & the taste to return. As I said in my post, its in Gods hands.....always is. Sometimes I forget that I am not in the drivers seat. I have faith it will return. Again, thank you all.
    Love
    Sherri
