I had an apocoechtomy ( spell?) in May 2006. infection returned within one week, dentist put me on Avolox, then Clindemycine, then Keflex etc... for 5 weeks total. then sent to oral surgeon who removed the tooth. The tooth was an old root canal anyway, so wasnt the tooth dead???
they had a difficult time removing the tooth, and following I started having neourlogical problems. immeidatly following tooth extraction and even prior to, I had extreme fatigue, brain fog and overall weakness. No one wanted to tie the symptoms to the tooth infection. I have now spent 3+ years feeling ill. I am not a hypocondriac!! I have been seen by some 5 or 6 neourologists, Hopkins, Duke, Clevleland Clinic, UPENN etc.... had one diagnosis of MS, one of Fybromialgia, Chronic Epstien Barr and so on.
Finally, someone told me to have a CT of the tooth, which I did yesturday. it show a cyst above the area where the tooth was removed and connects into my sinus's.
No confirmation of "infection" yet. my question is: could this cyst have cause such chronic fatigue and overall weakness? I also have experienced long term neouropathy since this started, not sure how a tooth could cause all of this, but wondering if its possible?????
