Re: Seeking Advice For Tooth Extraction
Trapper!
No, I am not pregnant! I can't imagine. I never got ice-cream cravings when I was pregnant. In fact, never until the addition of the cayenne (which, I believe, I did after reading something you said about it....). Now it is all I can do to OP and wait for the urge to go away! Specifically, for ice cream and cayenne. (Not for ice cream alone, and not for, say, juice and cayenne.) What to do? And it does not seem to be for cayenne and anything other than coffee or chocolate, which makes me think I was an Aztec in a former life or something. And I do think the capsaicin/endorphin connection is there and strong. Did anyone hear a story a year and a half or so ago about this new kind of Cheetos that were fire-hot that schoolkids were seemingly addicted to? They were banned on schoolgrounds. A scientist got on and explained that the hot peppers cause endorphin release and that they can be addictive that way. Maybe like the spit.
My goal is to finish nursing these girls and then do Humaworm and some serious flushing, then think about getting pregnant again. Who knows what will happen, but that is the goal. Statistically, I have a good chance of having twins again, which is not something I can factor out. Even without the ice cream, I got pretty big and it was a long 39 1/2 weeks...
This morning I tried really light swishing and I think you could do that with a natural "plug" in an extraction site. And I liked what people said about the making sure the dentist gets all the infection out. My friend Will, whom I have mentioned before, had the low-grade but near-permanent infection after his wisdoms were extracted. Finally got with a dentist who saw it, scraped it all down and out, and told him to use xylitol, too. I wonder if a lot of people with chronic fatigue symptoms don't just have that sort of thing.
Hope you are all having a good night and happy pulling!
