I know, it sounds unlikely at best, but them's the facts. Seems I was mildly dehydrated nearly all the time and didn't know it. The crazy thing (or not) is that the cure was inspired by a restroom wall sign at Gunsite.

Even though I'm deaf in one ear, I still have to use an ear plug in said ear, when shootin' or listening to live music, otherwise, I'm paying the piper for an extra jumbo case of ringing for the next few days.AoHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816152634543595912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-33410252953778427812009-12-05T14:01:33.956-05:002009-12-05T14:01:33.956-05:00Have you tried Sinusbuster?

I am a tooth-grinder and (trying to fix) that's probably what started this mess, but <i>there is no fix.</i><br /><br /> In 1996, I ripped a couple of molars loose 'cos I was sleeping in a bite guard and still committing bruxism while asleep. This led to biting down on a too-well-done burger and having a tooth root punch through almost into my sinus cavity (didn't break the skin on that side). I did not know it at the time, all I knew was I had a stab of terrible pain.<br /><br /> So at that point, a couple of my important chewing teeth were loose and hurting and I was having migraines. Tried root canal but lost the teeth; at one point, had just agonizing pain if either one moved wrong. After teeth were pulled, oral surgeons would not believe there was a hole in my upper jawbone; I could feel the tissue had grown together but it was in a spot that doesn't x-ray well. I had to beg 'em to get in there with a scalpel and take a look just to shut me up; weren't they surprised!<br /><br /> All that time, I was chasing migraines with specialists, they were trying drugs, etc. Didn't know it was related and none of the docs suggested it.<br /><br /> Officially finding the hole in the bone led to various adventures with ENTs, endodontists, etc. (Including the uncertain science of NICO, a condition that may or may not be real. Damifino). Multiple surgeries. Two attempts to get the bone to heal, the second of which was more or less successful.<br /><br /> And I am left with headaches, pretty much all the time, varying in intensity. Also tinnitus. It's there. There's no fixing it. I try to sleep on my back, which helps.<br /><br /> Also, NEVER, EVER have a medical problem at the interface between medicine and dentistry. They do not speak the same language, they don't trust one another and they care mostly about making sure it's the other guy's problem. Found one (1) endodontist and one (1) ENT/plastic surgeon(!) who got along well enough to work together on fixing the bone but it is darned rare.<br /><br /> Under a Sate0-run health care system, I'd've never convinced the first bunch of dental types to even take a look at the problem -- paying cash, it was a near thing; they were of half a mind to throw me out.<br /><br /> Yoga? SB, if I had time to go to the gym or to yoga class, I'd already be doing it. I need to make time for it but it's difficult.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-14049703469695202432009-12-04T23:26:01.947-05:002009-12-04T23:26:01.947-05:00You have my sympathy.
