This past Friday, I began to suffer from the worse case of vertigo I have ever experienced. It felt as if I were walking on a boat, I was nauseous, and I couldn't focus on anything. I went to the ER that night, where they gave me some anti-nausea medication, yet I still felt car sick for the next 3 days.
Yesterday, I also had a terrible earache. I went to my GP to rule out an ear infection. He said I was showing no signs, other than a slightly red throat. I made a follow up for this coming Friday, in case things haven't improved, and went home.
The pain has gotten worse, radiating from my jaw and ear. It is a stabbing,throbbing pain, that gets worse when I move my jaw. The only thing I could think that might make my face hurt like this, and also cause the vertigo I had been experiencing is either TMJ, or an impacted wisdom tooth.
I already know that my wisdom teeth on the bottom are impacted. I never had them removed, because they weren't bothering me. So I have made a dentist appointment in the up incoming days to see if that could be the culprit. I think my only saving grace has been the pain medicine for my RSD. I remember when my siblings wisdom teeth began to be a bother to them, and both of them had impacted teeth... they were in agony.
For now, I'm just glad the vertigo has gone. I could not get out of bed, or open my eyes it was so bad. At least with the pain, I can some what function. It's all a mater of thinking of shades of gray.
