I am having dentures put in. Unfortunately, since this was an accident (got a tooth broken while playing with one of my yorkies), there was no time to get the dentures done. So, she xrayed my whole mouth with different instruments that put a read-out on the computer with measurements and all that. Very high tech! lol She will be able to make my dentures from that. I had a choice to let her pull them several at a time or go to an oral surgeon and get them all pulled at once. But, since I like her so well I opted to let her do it. I have never been to a dentist like her. She is just so nice and really takes the time to help you get over any fears. Fortunately, you can't really tell when I talk....just if I smile or laugh. So, I cover my mouth for that lol. She will do the rest of the top and then I'll get the top dentures. Then, she will start on the bottom.

It will all be worth it in the end!

I'm so glad you found her Nina!

Me too! She actually called today to see how I'm doing. She wanted to make sure I'm ok before the holiday. I told her I'm doing well. She told me to take it easy and not overdo for Thanksgiving lol

Judy, is your daughter on any kind of medication for her MS? I had a big scare with that. I was on a medication for Crohn's which I had been taking for a few years. I started having weird symptoms, like my balance was off, my legs felt heavy and I had a hard time walking, and I kept getting pulled over by the police for weaving. I went to my dr., and he sent me to a neurologist. They did some testing and said I had MS. I was devastated, as I couldn't imagine how I was going to manage with two illnesses.

I was taken off the medication because it didn't seem to be controlling my Crohn's anymore, and a couple months later my symptoms disappeared. I mentioned it to the dr., and he did some testing and decided that I don't actually have MS. What was happening was that the medication was causing symptoms of MS, along with some scarring on my brain which he said might reverse since I'm off the medication.

I haven't had anymore symptoms, but my balance still isn't completely right. I hope your daughter is able to manage her MS. I know how hard it can be because my son-in-law's aunt has it and my ex-supervisor has it. It can be scary at times. I will keep her in my prayers.
