This just plain sucks!

Friday evening i felt my gums start swelling, thought that perhaps i was having an allergic reaction, so i quickly took two Benedryl and i noticed i really wasnt getting much relief but i tried to sleep. Around 2:30 a.m. i woke up because of an awful taste in my mouth and pain, i noticed that not only was the swelling not going down but was getting worse. So i called the advice nurse, and she placed the Emergency Room doctor on the phone he said i needed to come in sounded like an abscess to him, but that his associate would take a look at me. I got there and checked in, they took my vitals and the doc walked in looked in my mouth for about 10 seconds told me he was going to give me a heavy duty antibiotic and pain meds and wanted me to see my dentist on Monday, he thought it was an abscess tooth. So they gave me the antibiotic to take there and i drove back home and attempted to sleep. Woke up Saturday morning and didnt feel much better, in fact it felt like  the swelling was now in the back of my throat. But had things that needed to get done, so i sucked it up and went to lunch with Ben. Came home after getting prescription filled and took pain meds and laid down to rest. Sunday morning came and i tried to get up and get going and my body just didnt want to do anything but sleep, but had to do errands, so again sucked it up and got moving.
Monday morning i called the dentist office and they got me in right away, amazing what the word "abscess" does for opening his schedule. So i go in they take xrays and even do a panoramic, because he says he doesnt want to miss anything. But none of them show anything wrong with any of the teeth, so he comes to the conclusion that this is a viral infection, because im very susceptable to getting fever blisters. And he tells me that the antibiotic will do nothing for a viral infection to stop taking it. So i send Ben a text letting him know what he said and he insisted that i make an appointment with my doctor, so i called and i couldnt get in with my doctor, but got into see her P.A., i went in at 4 and told her about the ER vist and the DDS visit and she looks at me and doesnt like what she sees, Then she goes into my file on the computer and notices that in December when i had the MRI with contrast that it showed a inflamation in my right mastoid area, which she thinks is where this infection is coming from. She told me to go back on the antibiotic and to have bloodwork done, to see if my white blood cells are increasing or decreasing. Should they be decreasing i would need to add another antibiotic to the mix. Which brings us to today, Tuesday and im actually swelling more in my collar bone lymph nodes, and not feeling much better at all. Sent a message to the P.A. waiting to hear back to see what she wants me to do. And tomorrow is my appointment for the neurologist so hoping for the best!! Just wishing it was all over with!
