Toothache

This is the first time (ever!) that i'm having a toothache and it hurts, like HELL!!!
In fact, i feel that it's the most unbearable right now, as in this very moment but i'm trying NOT to focus on the pain but God knows, it's difficult!

The pain can be so sharp sometimes that i'll wince in pain. That's the problem actually, the pain sorta come and go, it can be so unbearable but then it'll subside after i take panadol...and most nights, i cant sleep well because it gets so painful.

It all started on Saturday night, i started feeling this odd feeling in my throat, sth like a sore throat but not quite so i never thought that it could be because of a wisdom tooth growing, i mean who would right? Then that dawn at ard 4am, i was awoken by this dull ACHE on the left side of my mouth, and me never having experienced a toothache before, thought what a weird sensation it was! It was soo aching (that's the ONLY word to describe it - aching!) that i just could not ignore it and go back to sleep. So i went to wash my face and brush my teeth and i realized it hurts like, like...crazy to even open my mouth! And of cuz, i went into a panic mode.

Everybody's sound asleep at that time so i went back into my room, all calmed down, sat down at the edge of my bed and tried to concentrate on the pain so i can 'trace' the cause of it...

Then when it finally dawned on my still fuzzy brain, my exact train of thoughts were, "Lah, I thought only Yadi yang tengah tumbuh gigi. Cik Busu dia pun tengah tumbuh gigi lerr..."

Man, my left jaw hurts so much right now, it's not funny.
Due to that, i'm sooo hungry, i can eat a cow!
And now i truly understand how people with dentures and my darling nephew eats and chews, it's downright miserable..

The last time i was in so much pain was last year when i had my first high fever and God PLEASE help me, hopefully my last! It was 40 degrees for three days straight and i was consuming water every minute. Even the doc was becoming quite concerned, asking me to come visit the next day if the medicine is not working. On the second day that i went, he gave me a jab cuz he was afraid that i was having dengue fever but thank God, everything was alright except that now, i've developed a phobia for needles!

I still remember that for that 3 long, loong days, i was feeling the worst in the morning and at night. My nails literally went bluish purple but only in the morning (weird huh?) I felt frozen while being wrapped up in blankets but my temp is high. I had the most terrible backaches at night for those 3 days that i really could not help but sob in pain.Thank God for my mom, who stayed by my side, rubbing my back, trying to soothe my pain...

Adding on to that, i developed an allergy to one medicine and i had to swallow 2 huge, the most gigantic antibiotics that i've ever seen in my entire life for 2 weeks, it was soo big that the thought of it now just makes me nauseous.

Now that i've typed all that down, i'd rather have a toothache...but then again, please, PLS go away toothache, i'm famished!


Have some mercy man!
