So I talked to my doctor.

If it becomes a problem, infection, what they'll do is strap me to a chair; entirely.

Arms, legs, head, body.
They'll literally stap me down so there's simply no way for me to move, and I'll just have to deal with the nerve pain after it's all said and done.


Yeah...
I don't mind needles, don't mind knives, not even the drill.
I'm not so sure I like having the guy with all those things tie me to a table though. Call me crazy, but my insticts are all like, "you don't do that!"


It actually feels better. Was never any pain, just a little pressure. I have very little room in my jaw for my teeth as is and to be honest my jaw feels better. It basically shattered at the very back, and now all my other teeth feel like they have more room; including the one I shattered.

Every single one of my wisdom teeth had no place to come in but under another tooth. I had to have pieces of my jaw cut out in order to remove them, that was a nightmare.

I'm that guy that general anesthesia doesn't relly work on. Until you have to be put under, no one knows how your body will react to the anesthesia, and some of us are much, much harder to knock out than others. The anesthesiologist and both doctors told me that they'd reached a point where I would have had a heart attack if they had given me anymore. I had to do half the operation conscious, and able to feel everything they were doing -remember, if your body will shrug off the stuff they use to put you under there's a good chance it will just shrug off the stuff they use to make it not hurt.-


Some people aren't aware of this.
The general anesthesia that most dentist use to "knock you out" doesn't actually do that.
They induce amnesia.. It's very much like drinking to much and blacking out.

Coinsidentally, I can drink an enormous amount of alchohol, and do; quit often.
The things I wish I could forget.




It's crazy because it's a perfectly healthy tooth. It impresses me what the human body will do to itself wihout even realizing it. Or does realize it? Did I grind it down subconsciously to make room for the others?

Is it weird that I think these awful things that happen to me are neat? Seems morbid to me.

That's what I'm hoping. Don't think I broke enough of it yet for it to start loosening up though, or it hasn't broken far enough down.

I'm hoping it'll reach a point I can feel comfortable that I won't rip my gums to **** and I can just yank the little ****** out myself.

Hope you will figure it out

Last week when they started to work on it(drill killing nerves etc) 2 local shoots didn't help with pain but when doc injected it directly in tooth via opening it was way lighter on pain.

Today no anesthetic what so ever didn't feel a thing.

Even if the myoclonias don't react to general anesthesia, there is still the other way: Suxamthonium. This is quite similar to the famous curare arrow poison, it completely paralyzes every muscle.
Suxa is often used in anesthesia, I think you would just need a little bit more than the average patient.
Your brain and spine can keep firing as much as they want, as long as your muscles are neutralized (for a limited time) there will be no twitch. Since it is extremely horrifying to witness how your entire body (including respiration) goes atonic, general anesthesia is usually there to keep you from making this traumatic experience.
There is always a way- only because they haven't found one yet doesn't mean there is none.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Once you get to that point, you really need to look at a good oral/maxillofacial surgeon. "Tied down and just do it" is really brutal. There are ways to put people under, even the touchiest, most drug resistant patient. If your dentist isn't willing to explore options, and refer you to the right practitioner, then he isn't worth keeping.

Most dentists aren't qualified to do full-on general anesthesia. A good surgeon will do what it takes to minimize suffering.
