teeth, 1

i went last thursday to have my teeth cleaned. before i have that done, i always have to take four pills (antibiotics) because i have lymphedema although i'm not sure what the connection is. anyhow, this time when i swallowed the pills, something didn't go down right and i got this really bad pain in my chest. it would come and go throughout the day and it was always very uncomfortable. it was still there the next day. and the next. and the next.

here it is four days later and that pain hasn't quiiiiite disappeared. between feeling that pain if i'd swallow a bite or take a drink of water, and having a burp present itself at the most mysterious times, i really don't want to take any more pills.

i've lost five pounds though. i mean, who wants to eat something and feel pain with every swallow?!

    It sounds like it *did* go down wrong and irritated your esophagus. It couldn't possibly still be there (would've dissolved by now), and I think you'd have to try really hard to seriously hurt yourself with a pill!

    But I'm sorry it hurts!
