long overdue update

So I had a long post written out with this title. And then Firefox, that trickster, crashed and lost all of it. Somehow. The draft page lied to me until the very end, telling me it had ‘autosaved’ my document. That must be code for ‘ignored’ because once Firefox came to, there was only the draft title left. It was blank. Argh.

That leaves me to recreate somewhat; the itching is improved. I still am itchier in general than normal, it is getting better all the time. Thankfully, if and when the itch gets too bad, I can just take some Benadryl and I’m over it.

On another sad front, I need a root canal. This is of course a long story of its own, starting with insane pain at 3 a.m. It ended at the dentists’ office and a week long struggle with insurance. So I have an appointment for April 7th and until then….I try to eat soft foods, and when the pain returns, I can take some ibuprofen. It is distinctly an unwelcome development, not only because of the pain, but also for the nonsense of me and dental work.

I’m one of those people who have bad teeth. It seems no matter what I do, my teeth are determined to deteriorate. Maybe if I cut sugar entirely from my diet? I have my doubts. I have prescription toothpaste and take *such* good care of my teeth. So it’s frustrating that every time I go to the dentist I have cavities. This time, I need a root canal and a crown! This is the most major work I’ve had to have done. And it’s unfortunately that I certainly have more of it in my future.

But onto more pleasant topics. Like the fact that my doctor’s office FINALLY sent through the prior auth paperwork on the Pristiq today, so my pharmacy was able to fill the prescription! Enjoyable. I’m going to try and take it in the morning because taking it at night (for some reason) has been making me wake up during the night a lot. So I’m hopeful that taking it in the morning I’ll be able to sleep more soundly!
