Saw my family doctor and the dentist both today. Got good and bad news.
Bad news: my teeth are showing signs of damage from all of the vomiting. I go back Friday morning to get them cleaned well and have x-rays taken of all of them. The dentist is hoping there isn't too much damage to them but it is difficult for her to tell until after they are cleaned better. I most likely will need to come in every couple of months to get them cleaned until I am no longer vomiting on a regular basis. The tooth I thought I had a cavity in though ended up just being really sensitive and can be easily by using Sensodyne on it for a few days.
Good news: My family doctor was able to take me off of two more medications I was on. He did replace one and believes the medication he put me on will help my pain without me having to be on pain medication all of the time. He said if this medication does work I should see results in the next 24 hours! I've already took two doses but all I've noticed so far is it has made me pretty groggy, this is to be expected and should be better tomorrow. It did help me a nice nap today which was great since I am beyond exhausted now because I have barely got any sleep in the last five days. Only time will tell though.
