Because of the Sjogrens I require a lot of dental work and my dentist and her assistants are now well versed in RA and autoimmune mainly because of their curiosity of my list of meds. Shh don’t tell anyone but they gave me some of that stuff they put on your gums before they give you a shot.. they just love to put that all through my mouth when i go in to have work down with mouth sores and they don’t want to cause me more discomfort. They even supply a bone pillow for my neck and one for under my knees and they mother the heck out of me.

So I applaud you for going during a flare because it is one of the toughest things to do especially with your mouth it is like the entry to our entire bodies. Next time see if they have the nitrisoxide to put you in la la land..now that’s fun during a flare!!!

Be Well
Tess

Why waste a day when you feel good getting your teeth drilled? Makes sense to me to use a day when you are already miserable to do it… Then again, maybe I’m just twisted that way. Some kind of masochist? Be well, RA Guy…

It isn’t easy, and with RA it becomes heroic to simply take care of ourselves. =)

I laughed when I was reading your post but not because of the silliness of thinking that one can endure additional pain whilst in pain but because I did this exact thing but for a root canal. In my case I went because I figured my mind WOULD focus on my ra pain instead of the dental procedure. For me it worked OK. Would I do it again…no. But at the time it made perfect sense. So I do get your reasoning. I wonder if we raers begin to have a flawed sense of reasoning after awhile :-)
