Heya,
another newbie here also with a question, sorry if sounds silly, but wondered is it ok to have dental work done wile in a cycle/bout of ch? just thinking about the use of injections if had to have a cavity filled or extraction,would this make things 10 times worse?
thanks xlucyx

hmmm...that's a good question.  If nobody pipes up about it in the next few hours, I'll try to get a hold of my cousin who's a dentist and ask him.

cool,thank you  :)

what part are you worried about getting 10 times worse ? im not a doctor or a dentist but I have stopped my dentist & taken an injections right in the middle ( & hopped right back on the chair) & would be willing to take an injection in any circumstance ( I have injected under the influence of alcohol, while getting acupuncture & other strange situations…)
But maybe you want to wait for the intellectuals to reply
;)

In my time around here I can't recall any # or consistent comments suggesting the dental procedures trigger attacks.

Have you talked with your dentist or neurologist about this?

I had to have work did in the last cycle because I managed to break my teeth from pain.
[next time I will try screaming instead of gritting my teeth].

I don't think anything could have made that cycles pain seem worse though.  ::)

Before I knew what I was suffering from (CH) I had 4 teeth extracted slap bang in the middle of a cycle on the cluster side.

The injections didn't bother me & the dental work didn't fix my CH ::)

Cheers

  I just had a filling done, and I'm in cycle, I always clear it with the nero. and the dentist, both had no prob. as usual. Make sure you tell them what meds. you're on if any. I told the dentist I may have to stop, step out to my O2 in the car and come back, but didn't have to. No problems what so ever. Good luck. Shouldn't be a problem....

OK great thank you all!  :)
