So last week I went to the dentist and got a cavity taken care of and now all of a sudden out of no where last night ONLY when I lay down I have a new tooth pain. It is in the upper part of my mouth and my tooth ONLY hurts when I lay down.........OMG this better be taken care of before vacation because I can tell you the pain was so bad last night I could hardley sleep....
Im waiting for my dentist to open at 9 and hopefully I can get in ASAP...
Wish me luck......

I really hope its something small, I did a little research and it could be an infection, but luckily a rx of antibiotics should help. I read that when you lie down it causes more blood to reach your head, and because there is inflammation, it causes the pain. I ABSOULTELY feel for you!! I've had a lot of dental work in the last 3 years.

If you can't get in try a heat pack or cold compress on the area & ibuprofen to help with inflammation.

OMG sooo funny all of us Disboarders must be obsessive when it comes to research because early this morning at 4am when I could not stand to lay down and sleep anymore I got up and did a Google search on what was causing me such horrible pain……..basically I found the same info.

Thank all of you really for your concern your guys are soo sweet!!!
So the well wishes paid off and I was able to go to the dentist this afternoon……he did x-rays and said NO CAVITIES, NO ROOT problems and NO ABSCESS and NO TOOTH OR GUM INFECTION……..WTH!!!!!
He said that often time a sinus infection that has gone untreated or unnoticed will drain down and cause pain the gum area when you lay down and that in turn will cause some tooth discomfort. He gave me VERY VERY strong pain meds and said to contact my primary for antibiotics. I told him before I left I hope your right because if not I will be back in here on Friday……. (I can’t help it when I think its one thing and the Dr. try's to tell me it is something else I cant help but to think he is a quack….I’m a MOM I know everything…..right), all kidding aside I do LOVE my dentist. So as soon as I left I called my primary and explained to him what I was going through and he called in a prescription for antibiotics. I hope this helps…..fingers crossed.

By the way just got to work and did a google search on can sinus infections cause tooth pain and the answer was loud n clear YES.....
"Yes, a sinus infection (sinusitis) or inflammation can cause a toothache — especially in the upper rear teeth, which are close to the sinuses."

On to some really GOOOOOOOOD news……….4 days then we are on Vacay!!!!!

This will be our first family cruise. You'll recognize us with four girls, ages 5 thru 12. I noticed we'll be heading down to Puerto Vallarta right around the time a hurricane is passing to our west. Does anyone know how that will affect the water conditions? It looks like we won't be affected by the storm itself, but we are concerned about motion sickness if the seas become too rough.

Soo glad you got the meds quickly so that you can be pain free---or heavily sedated on the cruise! My second guess was going to be sinuses too! LOL I thought about it after and I had the same thing happen to me...I just forgot about it and now I remember FREAKING out that I needed another root canal...dentist did the same protocol and nothing showed and then said it was probably allergies messing with my sinuses. I was relieved that it wasn't another root canal!

I haven't heard anything about a hurricane! where have I been??? My mom JUST said YESTERDAY aren't you going during hurricane season? My response--eh just the tail end and they mostly happen on the other side more in the carribean....oops.

I just checked on the weather channel app and Puerto Vallerta theoretically has thunderstorms though next Friday. Tropical storm Hillary off East Coast Mexico is set to become a hurricane in the next 2 days. Cabo has scattered thunderstorms then winds. I've got bonine for me and sea bands for my DD. This is no going to get me down. I will just see what comes and try not to worry about it.

We went through a major tropical storm during our Eastern Caribbean Disney Cruise several years back. The seas were really really rough. We had a deck 2 cabin with a port hole and the water was coming up over the windows over and over again. We kept thinking we'd see a shark swim by our window or something. When we laid down in bed, we would roll from one side to the other. lol

They ended up having to re-route the ship and we actually did Castaway Cay first instead of last, but despite all that "excitement".... we had a really great time. And we had some fun stories to tell everyone afterwards.

I did all the "googling" on fifth disease first week back at school as it was going round our school then. If she's already been diagnosed then it means she's already got a rash, which means she is definitely not contagious. Sorry to hear about it. Back at school 6 weeks and we've already had warnings for both Fifth disease and head lice. Touch wood neither have surfaced in this household.

WAHOO it's here...my last day of work!!

Packed up the majority of the kids last night & will do me tonight...DH packs his own stuff...

I REALLY can't believe it's finally here! I booked this cruise when I was PG w/ my DS (he is now 1) It's came so fast...and I hope it goes REALLY SLOW.

To be honest there has been a few times in the past few days where I have almost started to tear up because the excitement & a bit of nervousness...WOW, it's REALLY HERE!!

I finshed getting a few things for my pirate outfit...not going fully overboard w/ it but getting in the spirt of the theme!

So the hurricane situation is freaking me out a bit BUT I'm going to go w/...what can I do, "OH WELL!" Gonna enjoy it to the fullest & move on w/t he party except buy a Dramine for sure now! We already have our Sea Bands.

Wishing you all safe travels & a super vacation!

Yeahhhhhh I have seen that done to a couple of people, kinda funny.
That is why I use W.T.H. as in HECK.........not as strong but you get the point.

 

[LimoFam5]

I actually have gotten fifths before. It a pretty mild disease and is worse (but not really) in adults. By the time you get the rash, you're fine. Its more of a nuisance than anything. Its only dangerous for pregnant women. I hope the baby is just got a 24 hour thing. Babies barfing is NO fun because they can run to the toilet and barf on everything and anything! I feel your pain!

I "yelled" at my mom last night for speaking of hurricane season the day before LOL I am sure we will do fine & with the cocktails I will be having I'm sure I wont notice

WAHOO it's here...my last day of work!!

I think I may cry! I read a TR and got misty a few times.

Im offically RIDICULOUSLY excited!!! I woke up around 4am and just thought about the cruise & what I need to do before the cruise, then I started visiting the DIS boards....LOL IM OBSESSED!!!

A weather expert on another site wrote that Hurricane Hilary is expected to peak on Saturday and Sunday and start to weaken on Monday. IF we're affected by rough seas, it would only be on Monday heading to Puerto Vallarta. All will be good once we're in Puerto Vallarta, except for the few thunderstorms that PV and Cabo routinely have at this time of year.

75 hours until boarding time!!!! My 4 daughters are already having trouble going to sleep because they're so excited. We haven't told them that my wife & I are secretly in that same "boat"!

I'm in LA! I flew in last night & I'm staying at my best friend's house. We're going to run errands today (you know, pick up last minute things) & then I'm going to spend some time with my baby nephew this evening. Our car service will be picking us up to take us to port in 24 hours! I can't believe it's tomorrow!

 

[DVC_Corrys]

Ok, so I have been away for a while trying to get all my work in order before the cruise. Are we having an office meet up tomorrow??
