Went to my new dentist this week and had to fess up to
why I hadn't been to see one for years. Told him the
truth (boy am I a wuss) that I had something called
Cluster Headaches and have been chronic for awhile and
feared having one in the chair with him up to his elbows
in my mouth...Then paused to hear the snickering from he and
his assistant..
Well his first words were 'I believe we can use nitrous
oxide to stop from triggering a 'CH', and what are your
main trigers'? I told him booze and some strong chemical
smells. His reply 'well maybe we won't use the gas and
I'll just give you constant 02'..When I picked myself up off
the floor I asked how he knew about 'CH' and he acted as if
everyone did..And we all know that aint so....But if in the
Atlanta area and can't find a good Neuro I know a Dentist
that understands the problem..........
