been there, done that…

Jessicah,
I had a root canal and a crown done a year after I had GBS the second time. I found out the type of anesthetic I needed -it is the kind that does not last as long as the other one. I could call the endodontist if you need to know before May 13 when I go back to my regular dentist for a cleaning. I prayed and crossed my fingers the whole time I had the root canal. After an hour and a half,the endodontist said I would have to come back for a second session!! I panicked…go through this again??? It was a molar…why didn’t he tell me this was a possibiity when I made the appt. I had to rent a car and drive over an hour to get there. But the worst part was worrying if it would exacerbate the GBS. Plus I do not have friends or relatives up here is PA. That makes a big difference in dealing with it. GBS has wounded us physically emotionally, and spiritually. Since you had a mild case of GBS, I bet you will be okay…
I had a root canal dentist in Tampa who looked just like a younger Tom Sellick, wore saddle shoes, dressed like a preppy, and was so gentle…
