Granny's gone and done it again

Along with that ever delightful phantom pain where the tooth used to be.

Sadly I will probably have real pain if I live long enough! Because I had them out when I was around 35-36 and so if I live long enough my whole jaw bone will start to decay

Also I'm not sure why, but when I get sick now my jaws ache bad until I'm better

That's a new one. Never heard of that. I get arthritis pain in my jaw and feel bone on bone but hey, I can still chew and eat so I'm good, lol.

Have you told your dentist or doctor about the pain?

Well that was weird. I just a video visit w/ a NP on my computer of all places. Meds are at my pharmacy. At least they are supposed to be. No delivery now til Monday. She said because I had pneumonia and flu its expected for me to be this weak and tired and the flu is a bad one this year I guess. I've never had it before now.

Do you have somebody who could pick them up for you, Granny?

Is it Polycythemia vera?

A myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), a type of blood cancer.
Caused by a genetic mutation (usually in the JAK2 gene) that tells the bone marrow to overproduce red blood cells.
Thickened blood can't deliver oxygen efficiently and clots easily. ....

Up to 20 years with proper care. Only months if not treated. Glad they caught it in time.

Actually, I would rather have strep..it's treatable.

I see my neuro on zoom when I need to. He's cities away now. Used to come to this office more nearby where I get my Lidocaine shots. He also calls in prescriptions from there.
Micro asked, someone to pick up for you?

I was treated both times with long courses of Penicillin. After the second strep throat I wound up in the hospital for a month and was diagnosed with rheumatic fever. Wound up in bed for 6 months. It was a life changer for me. 2 years later I was put on cardiac meds. All my plans to go back to school and advance my education came to a screeching halt. I was 23 years old.

Treatable? Yes.....and no. Rheumatic or Scarlet fever and kidney/cardiac damage can result from Strep throat if you are susceptible. Trouble is you don't know if you are susceptible until.................
