Cyst in gum update!

February 14th, 2008 at 01:54 am

I had my follow-up appointment with my endodontist this afternoon. GOOD NEWS! The cyst was completely gone, as well as the infection! So she was able to finish sealing the third canal.

I also saw my regular MD this morning about my heartburn/side effect of Clindomycin. She told me that probably what happened is when I took my first dose last Tuesday, I went to bed right after, and it got stuck in my esophogus, thereby leaving a sore. She prescribed some kind of liquid coating medicine that I'll need to take for a week. I went to pick it up tonight from Walgreen's and the copay was $60!!! I just about croaked right there. The pharmacist told me there is a generic available, but they didn't have it right then, but could by tomorrow. So I told her I'd rather the generic! If I've lived with this this long, another day isn't going to kill me.

    Glad the cyst cleared up! Hope you feel better really soon! Hubby was told to take his antibiotic and not lie down right after. Now, I know why!

    Hooray, what good news! Glad your teeth are finally going to be done!
    On the flip side, yes, waiting a day to save money is probably a wise idea. How much will the generic be?

    JanH,

    I wish my endo had given me that tidbit of info! It sure would've saved me a lot of pain and agony.

    Boo,
    I *think* the generic will be $10. But . . . it was my understanding that the most a copay would EVER be was $35, and obviously that proved to be false . . so who knows. At any rate, it's gotta be better than $60!

    That antibiotic shut my kidneys down. Be careful and drink lots of water. But, at least the cyst is gone and you can move onto the next step. I have had a lot of dental work done. It is no fun and costly.
