Hi everyone, I wonder if someone can empathise with this... I have been having horrible ear/back of mouth ache for nearly a week. It is so bad that it hurts in my neck and the whole side of my mouth and nose and eye. At the dentist this morning they found nothing much (i.e. no abcess, just receding gums) apart from an impacted wisdom tooth. Doctor could see nothing. Apart from that I have a sore patch on my cheek where I am always biting on it. Tomorrow I have to go to an oral surgeon so he can check out the sore patch and the impacted tooth. Firstly I am convinced I have a tumour somewhere - stupidly just looked up impacted wisdom tooth on internet (I know, I know, never do that) and it says that it is a rare problem - or that the sore patch is mouth cancer which I feel like I almost deserve for smoking and drinking wine so long... I gave up smoking 3 days ago for about the 4 th time this year. I feel so alone and terrified, have 3 small children, stuck out in the country with an 18 yr old au pair who is trying her best to be nice but is scared by my situation. My husband won't be back till Friday and all my family are in England (I live in Germany). I feel like my number is up and that I will die before very long, and can't stop shaking, and the whole area of my mouth is throbbing as if to taunt me.
Sorry to go on, but this is the truth, and it looks even sadder in print.
Maybe someone reading this can offer some comfort.
Hope you are all ok.
Anna
