Well i have taken cipro for 7 days. I have an abcess on my cheek bone. I walked to the dentist. It was nice to take a walk. My lower back or kidney hurts a little will see the doctor tomorrow. The exray should there was still infection. That is why i am having dry eye and dry mouth and blurred vision. LOL maybe a brain infection? Just kidding I think. I was swollen as much that the swelling was above my hair line on the top of my head. As the abcess is really where no one could see it when it formed and i have sinus problems. It had not been that long scince i had been to the dentist and had exrays. What i did catch on my own was some black area inside my mouth. They said that was just the inside of the root canal not the actual abcess. It is on the top in the back so i can not really get a good look i just saw black. The pred has most of my pain taken care of have not had a vicoden in ten days. I had some pain walking on left knee today. I fell out of my chair last week maybe thats why. Just want to remind people to see there dentist. As when you are on pred and pain pills it is hard to tell what is going on. I hurt every where all the time any way. I have head to toe fibro. Bad sinuses and ears. It is just so difficult to fiqure out what is going on some times. I thought the infection probably started in the tooth and went in to the jaw. It started in the cheek bone and spread to everywhere else is what the dentist said. I told docs my face hurt on my cheek bones especially. They thought i had pred face and allergies. At first i thought i had pred face myself. I did not see how i could have allergies on pred, that made no sence to me. Anyway you all be careful.
The skin on my left hand is swollen and red and my right finger tip on pointer finger is infected and i am on antibiotics? See doc tomorrow.
Good job you're getting to the bottom of all this Milly. Hopefully you'll be better in no time
