I hate you, stupid body.

My teeth are sweet and cold sensitive. My teeth are also going to hell pretty rapidly because I love sugar a lot and because I am terrified of dentists and thus have only gone to one once.
I had such a bad toothache yesterday that I couldn't sleep, couldn't think, and the damned pain couldn't be drowned out with drugs. Not that I didn't try. Six extra strength Tylonol PMs, enough Ambesol to make me sick to my stomach, three shots of vodka, and a pipeful of something less than legal later I was not only still in pain, but I was amazingly still conscious! Holy what the rolling fuck. Usually, the vodka would have been enough to make the sleep-urge overwhelming, and I'm pretty touchy toward anything that might make you drowsy, so those Tylenols should have knocked me on my ass.
Not this time. And I was too fog-brained to really stay awake-- yeah, I tried that, too.
My original intent was to nap from 4 pm yesterday until midnight or so, maybe earlier. That was shot to shit, and then I tried just being awake. That wasn't so swell, either. So then I just decided that I wasn't leaving my bed until I slept.
Last night was fucking miserable.
But I did eventually sleep. That was a wasted 20 hours of my life.
Face still hurts, but not nearly so bad. Also, the ache is radiating up into my ear, which makes me wonder if the problem is with the tooth-- probably-- or if I might have gotten swimmer's ear from the one time I went swimming, 'cause I remember that being very well close to this bad. Great, fabulous.
I want to eat-- haven't done that in almost a full day-- but I'm afraid of setting that stupid tooth off again.

Wendy wanted to go out and do stuff today, and I just don't know if I'm really up for it. Mostly, I feel like going back to bed (O_o!) and reading.

Hope your toothache gets better.....

As I've reached 30, my teeth are getting worse too.

Dude, if it is your teeth go get them taken care of, just suck it up, trust me the alternative sucks. Speaking from experience here =/

Dude. Get thee to a nunnery dentist. O_o Preferrably not one named "Hermie". You need that tooth taken care of.

X_x And good gods- all that and you still were awake? I'm truly impressed. I have some weird immunity to sedatives and even I would be out like an engine with a snapped timing belt after even half that. X_x

Gomen ne, Inu-no-Jess-san. Perhaps next time you could try Nyquil, in either form? That stuff turned me into a liquid one time...just don't read any Lovecraft beforehand, you'll regret it. Get better soon, and don't hesitate to go to a dentist. I won't give you crap about it not being so bad, I've never even been, but I'd go if I could.
