So remember that extra fun bleeding I was doing for a while there? It did not resolve quickly. Finally, when I was 26-for-42 days on, I saw a Chinese herbalist. She prescribed a bunch of herbs that I made into a truly vile tea and drank twelve times while holding my nose. It was worth it. As of today, I've gone through a full normal cycle.

So I went back to get another round of tea prescribed, this time for the excess of phlegm that's been plaguing me for four years. Thank the gustatory gods, the tea this time is palatable. Oh, not to be hacking phlegm out of my lungs and snorking it out of my face many times a day!

However much I want phlegm out of my face, though, I want my teeth to remain in my face. So I really really hope the moderately spectacular faceplant I did this morning doesn't result in permanent damage to a tooth, which is currently unable to take the tiniest bit of pressure without making me jump. Eating is going to be...difficult for a while.

Hmmmm

I tend to be basically always congested in the wintertime.

Now I kind of want to see if your herbalist can help!

Yao Zhang, 781-641-3633 for Mondays in Arlington; she works other days in Sudbury but I don't know the number.

It was $70-odd for a visit and my first batch of herbs, so definitely worth trying!

What wispfox said. Also, in unsolicited advice, it might be worth seeing a dentist to see if they're I'd anything they can do to stabilize the tooth. A friend who had a similar thing happen benefited from that. I hope it heals fast!

I talked with my dentist about the situation, what to expect, keep an eye on, etc. She says it's a 50/50 as to whether the tooth dies, but that keeping the inflammation down can matter a lot, and a couple other factors suggest I'm likelier to be in the happier 50%.

I'm currently bummed that it'll likely impinge on my weekend fun, but hopefully it won't look as bad by then...

Well, yay. And, shit.

If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.
