Hi

I wrote a post when I first joined but I posted in the wrong place so just asking here.

Basically when I had my last filling, without adrenaline, I felt a bit lightheaded, but out of it like I’d taken something but confused. Unfortunately my daughter is paying for me to go private so my new dentist is amazing and I explained this to her and she is writing to my doctor to see what they can do as I have one adrenal gland which was taken out years ago as I had Cushing syndrome.

She just wants to make sure that am not having a toxic reaction which I did think myself as I was completely exhausted and felt like I’d had a general anaesthetic!

I know it sounds silly but I know my body and extremely aware to my body and how it feels and I know how I felt didn’t feel right ( if I was working I wouldn’t of been able to go )

I just hope they get to the bottom of it as I do need my tooth taken out but she doesn’t want to risk anything so hopefully I’ll get an answer.

Sorry for the long message just like I feel like people think I am just saying it especially because I am anxious but actually am scared of how it makes me feel after it

Thanks Natalie
Hopefully I may be able too get some help advice
