Hey Rivka! Yes, I did, and thank you for asking.
As the antibiotics have started to work, I've been able to cut down on the painkillers. Saturday, I woke up pain-free but started to get serious twinges by around 11am, then on Sunday I was able to go without painkillers until around 6pm, and today, it's 10pm and I've yet to take my first painkiller.
That said, weird things seem to be happening around my face. I can only imagine that the infection is sort of seeping around my face as it dies away - my eye sockets were tingling earlier, then my tongue, then the right-hand side of my face, and just a second ago, the side of my nose. It's *very* peculiar. Referred pain, perhaps? Except it's not painful - just tingly, like you might feel as an injection from the dentist begins to wear off.
Anyway, the main thing is that I'm not climbing the walls any longer and I may even dare to go to bed without taking any pills whatsoever.
Yvonne
