In alot of pain and discomfort

So apparently I have to get my wisdom teeth/tooth extracted ASAP. My face is/a little swollen and my teeth/jaw are sore. I feel miserable and blah.

What I found weird was when my female freinds found out they were either comforting or asked alot of questions.

Male friends, they either said ewww or acted like they didn't notice or didn't say anything.


I found it offensive. What's the deal? Do they just not care?

I got them out last week. If you need advice about anything PM me.

Yeah why do people not have any sympathy for those in pain!

For tooth pain- dilute 6 drops of pure high grade clove essential oil into an ounce of either coconut oil, olive oil, or grapeseed oil and apply to the sore parts of gums, it will numb it.
(Do not use more than 6 drops of clove per ounce.


Also....prior to undergoing wisdom tooth removal and even now, take the homeopathic of Arnica Montana 30c subligually. Follow the directions. It will reduce pain, bruising and swelling. You can find it in health food stores.

I hope you feel better soon.

P.S. maybe they don't respond because they don't have anything useful to say.

I went to the orthodontist and i have to have surgery on friday. Which I'm not too thrilled but what didn't make me feel better was the people I thought would be more sympathetic weren't.

The ones who were sympathetic were the ones I didn't expect to be.

In difficult times it's amazing to see who comes through. I had similar with health issues. Cousins I grew up with never called yet coworkers Freinds n other family were right by my side. Ex Husband who wanted me to give up my family was nowhere to be found shortly after.
I remember n I've stopped communicating with these cousins.
Upside world I tell u.

That includes anyone on here too. I have decided those that aren't supportive are getting blocked.

But yeah I have to see an oral surgeon on Friday becuase its a weird case with my wisdom teeth. They said it wasn't a simple extraction that's why my orthodontist referred me to a surgeon becuase it was beyond his level of comfortability. I'll be sedated thank god. They insist that you have someone there to take you home as I'll be all loopy after I wake up, but the ones who offered were the ones I didn't think would. The people I asked and rely on like close friends or family...had excuses.

What did they expect me to do, drive myself home? Walk home?
