Last year I had 7 cavities at one visit. That shows the breakdown of my body because I have never had one before last year. I had no problem with the numbing shots last time. Well, I have 4 more cavities and I just went to have one filled and I had a terrible reaction to the shot they give you to numb you. My heart started racing, my pulse was really high and I felt high. The workers were all worried, but told me it would go away. Within 20 minutes I was ok, but it was super scary. I can't beleive how sensitive my body is now! Any little thing I react to. Does anyone know why this happens with IC treatment or IC in general? I have to go have 2 more done in a few weeks and they are going to use another type of shot that does not have the hyper reaction like the one they have me today. The drug she used today is called epinephrine.
That is from the epinephrine
That is from the epinephrine I myself just had 9 cavites removed I never had any cavities prior to IC. The epinephrine is addrenlen and it is used one to lengthen the novicaine and 2 so that you don't bleed. They can use something else there are other options just tell them your allergic and you would like something else. My dentist uses a cold laser so it's praticly painless this is becoming more common too. I hate the epinephrine it lasted a while and for someone with anxiety and epilepsy I don't like my heart and nurological system being altered at all. Also the epinephrine does flair my bladder some it took me 3 days to recover every time i have had it. I had less recovery time with the other stuff. I know they can't use the epinephrine for persons with heart conditions so they do have options just ask. I am sorry your going through all this also you might want to read up on floride don't let your dentist feed you that crap. It's just because your small intestine is imbalanced not that he will understand but he doesn't have to. I wish I had a holistic dentist but the nearest one is like 2 hrs away and forget that. I started to read Weston Price when i devloped all my cavieties don't worrie as you get better you will not have to deal with cavities anymore.

Hi Nicole
I will def. ask for something else next time. I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. I am sure our hearts are not in great condition with all that is wrong with us. My dentist tried to give me a prescription to use fluoride every night for 3 months! I just took it and threw it away. I did not want to try and explain why I would not take it. You and I seem to have very similar IC symptoms. Everything I have read from you I relate to. I am now thinking brown rice has to go and I am not happy about it. That leaves no grains for me. I have noticed an ncrease in my urethral symptoms about 30 minutes after eating it:( ....When I go to the dentist in a few weeks I will be SURE not to get the stuff I got yesterday.
Brown rice and detox
Hello,
Matia would definitly have to verify this, however, I came across some information regarding detoxing for people who had ulcerative colitis (another intestinal disease) Anyhow, they recommended to eat brown rice for seven days since it had a sponge like quality and was able to "draw" toxins out of the intestines...
Now I am certainly not quoting this as gospel and Matia could probably shed much more light, however, if it is true that brown rice has toxin drawing qualities, your bladder has to deal with those toxins just like a normal person. So, it may be that bad things are coming out of you (which is good) but it does not feel good.
Talk to Matia, I think she really tries to lessen the bad feelings from the toxins so that patients are able to be more compliant with the protocol.
Best,
Jeanette
Albutorol Attack
Related to the dentist post... I was recently given albutorol for pneumonia... It is an inhaler to keep bronchiospasms down. My heart started to race, I started to hallucinate and I had to go to the ER because I was so dehydrated... It is an alpha stimulant, probably similar to epinephrine. I was miserable and very scared... Makes me scared to go to the dentist.
Rice
Melsvensen - are u alright with white rice or brown rice flour? When I could not tolerate rice as a grain I was ok with brown rice flour products, then after a while started with white rice and eventually brown rice.
rice
I think I am fine with the brown rice now, I am still having a hard time discerning what is causing a flare. That day I thought it was the rice because it happened after I eat it, but then the last few days I have not had a problem after eating it. I am finding diet is not a huge precursor to my IC. Hormones, stress, effect me way more. I know some things in diet for sure bother me, like coffee always makes me go more, and preservatives and chemicals in food. Tomatoes have never bothered me, although I am not eating them now because they are not on the list 1. Raw roods bother me more than cooked foods. Flours def. cause me to flare.
