This got me thinking ...
I've just recently had the beyond hell and back experience of an abscessed wisdom tooth in which as the swelling grew no amount of painkiller seemed to help the pain.
It really got me thinking about what an amazing piece of kit the human body really is in terms of healing itself, and how quickly and efficiently it does it. A nerve within the infected tooth communicates with some intricate area of the brain that I don't have a clue about, it then sends white blood cells to the exact area within the correct tooth - not to my big toe or anywhere else Lol Only when it knows the infection has gone does it then release the puss from within the tooth and then carries on about its business. And will do the same with just about any other area of itself too!
It really is such an intricate and intelligent system you wonder how it ever got to be so sophisticated - its no wonder that when we flood it with artificially made hormones it has a tantrum, and side effects and other bodily functions get disturbed. Just a reflection I suppose on how lucky we are to own it in the first place ...

20/01/2020 Update: Well I had to accept defeat - I could take the pain no more ....Lol
Been and had the bastard pulled today :-)) Having a pain free mouth after eating feels like a blessing, I must say though I was kinda jealous of her nice big stainless steel syringe though Lmao
AnonThat a VIP one?
Hahaha She did 4 big injections around the tooth which was a new one on me, use to be 1 big one to more than numb most of the palate didn't it. Seems to be a lot more area specific nowadays. Good bit of Novocain ;)
Molinin302Awesome post man, I wish I had the money and drive to go further with my education, but life goes on. One of the things I could never fully understand is the complexity of digestion. Whole foods being broken down, stage by stage, until they're at a point where the body knows where and how to utilize the nutrients and then eliminate the waste. Think about it, visually, texture for the most part, a banana and plantain look and feel the same. Your guts know the difference and those two foods cause two different reactions in the body. It amazes me.
Guy's I'd just thought I'd share this link I've just come across after researching the theory that Ibuprofen inhibits muscle growth and strength by reducing protein synthesis levels:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18461099
It would appear that moderate doses (400mg) daily have no adverse effect only higher doses. I just thought it would come in handy to know as I have seen quite a few people who need painkillers sometimes to train around old injuries etc and plus I've had to use it a bit lately.
Molinin302Awesome post, and NCBI is one of the few sources for info I truly trust. I personally feel that too many times the FDA, DEA, all the three letter administrations aren't as forthcoming with toxicity levels, etc. When I was a kid, and I'm not old, I remember asprin being in a metal tin and being treated like medicine. My wife swallows ibuprofen by the handful, it's ridiculous.
nice write up bro, very insightful .
teeth pain is hell, it just does not let up. Ear aches run a close second though, migraine head aches also damn it son those suck.
You are telling me mate - At times you feel like going crazy its so intense, screaming more than crying Lol Problem is any tooth up to half way along the jaw brings with it massive ear ache too - especially wisdom's. Feels like your eardrum is about to explode at times together with the dizziness.
I thank my lucky stars I've never suffered with Migraines though - from what I've seen they are way worse than toothache.
Teeth are a motherfucker.
All you need is an ice skate and a set of balls
An Extremely big set of balls Mr.G Lol Plus how the hell would you get the blade to a wisdom tooth?
There is an instructional video on it.
Staring Tom Hanks.....
Haha I thought that's what you were referring to - I don't think I could do it without Wilson though ....
I’ve either had a stomach bug or food posioning the past few days. It is an intelligent system. Throw up and shit your brains out until whatever poison in your digestive system is gone!
AnonDid it flush the army out of you?

AnonOver here we get them pulled in our teens if the X-rays indicated they'd be problematic. Had mine removed at 15. I didn't even realize that wasn't common practice
You can die from a tooth infection btw.

Yup. Endocarditis i believe. That’s no joke. Get those things fixed ASAP.
Evolution is an amazing thing!
I got an abcess recently at my front theeth damm its like a sting of a needle.. a thaught i had a little hole in my teeth it hurted so damm bad till i tasted an awfull taste in my mouth i lifted my upper lipp and saw a little hole above my teeth it whas the second time i did an abcess on the same tooth they pulled everything out i ,have been a month tooth less to heal now i have a fake front teeth
i also think my cycle had somthing to do with it but im not sure
Tooth aches are the worst.
AnonAnd how arrogant we all are by taking the wheel and trying to run our own hormones lol like we know better than millions of years of evolution..if we did, we wouldn't have any side effects, or the urge to alter our bodies to such a trivial goal most likely..awful shallow of us!
IDGAF. I want those GAINZ!
I know mate, it makes you kind of feel a bit bad doesn't it when its trying its best to keep us alive just in general life, and then we are effectively abusing it in ways it doesn't feel happy about at all. Then still we feed it with more drugs to try and stop its own natural defence system which it is actually producing to try and protect us!! BUT yet still we yearn for more muscle and strength as if that will save us when we are pushing daises LOL
RustyhookerFew billion years of adapting. Its really incredible! Imagine a few centuries ago that whole populations were killed by a common cold.
Stories like yours lends to the ideas that some of the cleansers we use can actually have a down side. We intake small bitz of germs daily by eyes, nose and mouth. Our bodies constantly attack the foreign as a small unit and learn how to beat those virus. With ultra cleansers, how it the body going to do that part of learning? Things to ponder....
Evolution of modern science. 150 years ago if you let it get to the point of pussing and not fixing they amputate your jaw.
We have better access to medical and cleaner foods so risk is lower but not gone entirely.
Yup. Couldn’t be sleeping with dirty prostitutes and premedicate like we can now. Hahaha
Molinin302We're not here to judge anybody. Lol, your post struck a personal nerve.
Wait. What. Dude I was just playing and not even serious man. I don’t judge anyone Man. But if what I said offended you. Apologies mate
Molinin302It was a joke my friend, the "ladies of the evening" are ok in my book. There's 2 Asian massage places within 3 blocks of where I live. I have no shame in saying I've been to both. Oddly enough, my visits to these establishments seem to coincide with when my wife is being a complete bitch lol. Cheers mate
We had a kid where I grew up their mom shielded then from everything, home school , no playing outside no friends just sat inside, germaphobe, seeing her leave the house she practically wore a hazmat suit..... well they got a divorce and the dad moved in by me.... and the kid was hospitalized like every week from getting introduced to “dirty stuff”(germs) kid didn’t leave the house until I think 11 and he looked like he was starved too.... now he is fine but at the time he almost died... we need germs I’m not saying to go lick toilet seats but ur body can’t be shocked by germs either.... that kid I knew suffered bad... he looked like he lived in a nazi death camp.... when he would grow Ill ....trust stuff here!
Can you imagine being like that where you are scared of touching virtually anything including people etc because of the fear of germs - some of them wash their hands till they bleed don't they from the amount of sanitising they do daily.
Ya bro idk if my steak falls on the floor bro I look for any dog fur I didn’t vacuumed up if any remove and then I eat it... idgaf food is important to me not because of roids, food to me is like what a sports car and big house is to some people... I have so much food in my house it probably looks like I’m doomsday prepping I just got food man... but that kid was scared of everything dude... his mom disowned him cuz the dad got him and he didn’t even know what was wrong for a while they thought he had cancer and shit or some bad shit... idk what it was called but they had to like acclimate him back to the world like u do a fish in to a new tank... poor guy
LMAO - 'they had to like acclimate him back to the world like u do a fish in to a new tank' you have a way with words Bud - funny as F....
So what are you doing for Xmas day then pal - anything fun as you have kids don't you?
Lol ya visiting the family my side and her side, A quick gathering at home early in the am. Nothing too crazy her side is a big Mexican family tho so the good is amazing !! You ?
This is the exact problem with Antibiotics and also not seeing the course through in its entirety isn't it. But yes when you put it like that Rust it really is the result of billions of years in the making isn't it - quite scary but fascinating when you think about just how many thousands if not millions of functions it is able to perform and yet there are still many things we don't yet understand about it.
AnonHey man, I recently experienced the dreaded, lethal, quite possibly the worst illness ever, Man cold.
Yeah. I could have died.
RustyhookerManpons and advil? Lol!!
