June 25 - experiencing gum pain, high up on the gum; sore to touch but paining otherwise

June 27 - noticed headache late in afternoon, increased in intensity in the evening, took 1 Advil before bed

June 28 - noticable gum pain and still have a headache - WTF! Called 8:45 a.m. Thursday, June 28th, 2007 for a follow-up appointment

How frustrating! These damn headaches are because of my friggin' tooth/gum infection!? All these years! After a root canal 20 years ago - the dentist sealed cotton in my tooth that was black and rotted when it was removed; "corrective" gum surgery to remove infection that wasn't done properly 5 years ago by a periodontist Dr. Bachus recommended (but later dismissed); then endodontic surgery 6 months ago to correct both procedures - but has the issue really been resolved?

I'm thinking now, my headaches all this time - may not have been neurological (corrected by chiropractic adjustments, although they've certainly helped my back muscle seizures); the headaches may solely be due to the infection in my gums. Following endodontic surgery, I had a severe migraine; so massive it was an emergency to get my Tylenol 3 prescription renewed - Lorne even had to call it in and pick it up, I was totally immobile.

As good as the endodontist is (he's scheduled for lectures most of July), Dr. Glassman cannot see me until Tuesday, July 24th at the 145 King Street West location, 416.360.1553. as Dr. Glassman is out doing lectures most of the month. Convenient though, that is after vacation and 12 hours following my next blood donation appointment.
