Yes, I also think it's good comparing things that are the same with us so we can ask the Docs and they can find out more which may end up helping treatment for us in the future.

I have no medical or dental coverage, so everything ouches my pocketbook. Maybe if they recognize ALL the different things affected by Fibro, more would be covered for those who are fortunate enough to have insurance.

What does the Dental Gum do? I have not heard of/tried Dental Gum before. Is it in the toothpaste row?

I will look right now for the link --

not sure if I am making any sence. I took pain meds a bit ago and they are working somewhat.

I didn't realize they would do a lesser charged cleaning and maintenance. Unfortunately though I am past that. Too many crumble teeth at the gumline and all over. Will keep it in mind though for future use!!

Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Chronic Myofascial Pain (CMP)

For Doctors and Other Health Care Providers with Devin Starlanyl

Symptom List and Possible Causes

http://www.sover.net/~devstar/phsympt.htm

It isn’t unusual to have both TrPs and FMS contributing to one symptom — sometimes with the addition of reactive hypoglycemia (RHG) or insulin resistance (IR). Some of your symptoms may be caused by the side effects of medications. There are other medical conditions that can cause some of these symptoms as well. This guide will, however, indicate whether there is a pattern to your symptoms. For example, if you have three symptoms indicating possible TrPs, you have a great likelihood of having other symptoms also caused by TrPs and a good possibility of having chronic myofascial pain. Visual locations of TrPs and their reference zones can be seen in the video "Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome: The Trigger Point Guide"

If you can tolerate run-o-mill cavities getting filled - regarding the senstive ridge near gum line showing -- my dentist/md told me that you can fill that area just like they fill a cavity BUT no drilling (i think)....

I am sorry about your teeth. Please focus on that which is important. I know that makes me seem like a putz but still..

Amazing....Teeth are VERY improtant for eating a proper diet. proper dental hygine is important to overall health. Dental decay can also cause other health conditions or be a sign of something serious.

Besides those facts, this thread is OBVIOUSLY quite popular.
