Life is sometimes very unfair, I am severely dental phobic so try to sort things out with tea tree oil which normally works. I'm of an age that they filled teeth as opposed to anything else so have metal teeth. A couple of weeks back a small hole appeared from a filling going and it is an upper tooth so not easy for the tea tree to prevent infection. Yes you guessed it yesterday evening toothache, today a rather horrible experience of emergency dentist who couldn't do anything except charge me, numb my mouth just in case they were going to do something and give me a script that they didn't sign or date and therefore I couldn't fill. (oh and when I asked what do I do when I was on holiday if I had problems told me I would have to go to one whilst away - not that easy really). The local pharmacists were brilliant (after I had burst in to tears) and found a phone number for them and called for them to fax a signed script over. They said they didn't have a fax machine, then they said it was broken at this point I started to get cross and told them to pay 10p and use someone elses. They then said they would ring their other branch and get them to fax it over which eventually they did.
Here is the kicker the antibiotics they have given me (after a long discussion about all the ones I am allergic to) say don't drink alcohol, well I normally think yeah right, BUT these tablets are similar to the meds they give alcoholics to get them off the booze, so react badly with alcohol and make you unwell, so boo hiss, I am not a heavy drinker but I like the odd cocktail and glass of wine!
