Hot chocolate
October 5, 2005
For various reasons, among them trying to shake a bad cold, I’ve arranged to work from home tomorrow, which means I can sleep in a bit longer than usual. Feeling shattered I went to bed relatively early (about 10pm) nonetheless, hoping to catch up on some sleep.
Alas! No such luck. I woke up at about twenty past one, with a now-familiar ache in my jaw. Having administered painkillers and waited for them to kick in I went back to bed at about 2. Not being able to go back to sleep I got up about 5 minutes ago, and I’m now administering warm milk in the form of hot chocolate to see if it will make me more drowsy.
This really, really sucks.
Update (05:35): It didn’t work very well. I’m still awake :(

ewh the wisdom tooth photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/skugg/43819105/) is gruesome.
You have my sympathy - disturbed sleeping patterns coupled with dental pain really really sucks. I take it Bonjela doesn’t help….

I haven’t tried Bonjela but the pain is due to an infection in the jawbone so I’m inclined to think it won’t help (no way to apply cream directly to affected area). I’ve got tablets to fight the infection, but it’s still painful.
