You are the only one responsible for your care...

Since August 2006 I have lived each day with constant pain in my head, neck, jaw, and throat. I have swallowed a horrible drainage all day long and listened to my right ear pop everytime I inhale, exhale, or swallow.

I have gone to doctors consistently since this first began reporting the same symptoms and follow through on every thing they have told me. Finally I found a "House"-like dentist who didn't take my lawsuit into her diagnoses and the problem is now identified.

For twenty months doctors have made diagnostic suggestions because the infection under my crown and TMD symptoms couldn't be separated. Once the TMD was being treated the symptoms left clearly showed and infection under a crown causing muscular issues, popping/swelling in my right ear, and drainage into my throat. And it took her about 10 minutes.

Lesson being no matter how many people comment on how many doctors you consult, keep going until you know that the proper diagnoses is found.

You are the only one whom will live in pain, loose your job, loose sleep, not be able to participate in sports or socializations, go into debt, etc, etc, etc.

And never forget the doctors are worried about their well being NOT YOURS!
