Still have weird spot/lump in very back maxilla. It was getting smaller, but appears to have plateaued in it's improvements. The right side of my face swells everytime I eat. The whole right side of my head feels swollen. Back to being lost. Too busy with work and Rotary to be frustrated. Will see my GP sometime this week for a routine thyroid check and may email the ID doc to see what he thinks I should do. Please feel free to make suggestions.
Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone. It can be bacterial or parasitic in nature. Ultimately the infection leads to necrosis or death of the bone. I have had a variety of medical and holistic treatments for osteomyelitis of the jaw including 9 surgical debridements with bone biopsies verifying chronic osteomyelitis. Please see my history for more info.

Frustrated..not sure what is going on. My lower jaw feels better since the last extraction, but the right side of my face swelled up and is still swollen. I think the swelling is getting worse every day. I feel it going up into my eye again and into the right side of my throat. I feel like a chipmunk with acorns in just one cheek. I wish I was still skinny so the doctors would be able to see it better, but then so would everyone else.. If it keeps going a this rate, by the time I see the ID doc in the end of June it will be obvious. I won't have a cheek bone. I told the oral surgeon about it at my follow-up, but there's really nothing to do at this point but to continue to take the antibiotics and wait and hope it starts to go down. Just passed my one year anniversary of my first dental appt for this and so ready for it to be over..enough already!
