so guess what??
No brain tumor, brain bleed, loss of myelin or swelling! No early Parkinson's...nothing out of the ordinary, just a regular brain up there! We already know from the Endoscopy that there are no growths or polyps in my nasal passage or the top of my throat!
so now what???
Why do I smell this mysterious cigarette smell, and why does Tom sometimes smell it now? Just to be safe I am going to get a new carbon monoxide detector.
I think it must be a stress response, we both have been really tired and I have certainly had more headaches so for now I am just going to be stuck with
Oh snap...
I was just googling how to spell Phantosmia (smelling things that aren't there) so I didn't look like an idiot on here and it says common causes (that are not brain or polyp related) could be allergies, migraines or colds which we knew of course but it also says DENTAL PROBLEMS.
I literally just came from the dentist and he told me that the tooth that was hurting me the other week was weakened by my hormones and my constant clenching and grinding of my teeth and it has to go...it is unsalvageable (apparently its a wisdom tooth?) and that I have another tooth that wasn't bugging me on the other side that needs a root canal (which we knew from before but we were conveniently using the pandemic as an excuse to stay away from the dentist).Wow that was a journey.....so I guess we go from here....
- Use the nasal rinse to make sure my nasal passages aren't dry and inflamed,
- in two weeks I will have the teeth fixed and
- hopefully soon we will have the Eviction of The Fuckuterus and its ridiculous Cyst friend which will either help or greatly increase the weird hormonal shit in my body LOL
