Went for my semi annual teeth cleaning last week and sure enough my cysts have returned. My teeth had been hurting the day before so I told the dentist about it, they always ask because they know my history. Anyway she felt one and possibly saw another on the xray.
I had three cysts and one larger cyst that was classified as a tumor removed in August of 2007 from my mouth along with my widsom teeth. Some of the cysts were below my wisdom teeth, the larger one was above my gumline on my top left tooth. It was decided that the "tumor" was what had been making me have problems with my face. Had been making it swell up and doing the weird things that it was doing. July/August 2007 I had had an exceptionally bad case of the swelling and pain. Intense pain that I could find no relief from. I had also had an allergic reaction to the steriod used to treat the swelling. Needless to say that was a rough few weeks for me as well as for Jason. I still hate to hear the Smash Brothers wii game and the mario soccer game as that was all Jason and his friends did while I was laying in bed hurting as play it (which was fine, not that there was anything else they could do) It just reminds me of that time, thats weird I know but I have strange associations with things. I'm not as quirky as I used to be but there are some things that I'm still weird about.
Anyway, those were removed and biopsied (spelling probably wrong but do not feel like spell checking it :) and it was bening. I knew that it would be fine but I had been a little worried. This time I'm not worried at all but wish that the whole ordeal with over with, usually fooling with my teeth, irritating it and things will make my face swell. I have a consultation on July 12th so I will find out then if I have to have anything else removed. It could be that the tumor did not make the swelling occur at all and it was in fact the hereditary angioedema doing that or it could be that it was the tumor and i just have to have it "cleaned out" ever few years. I will say I am very thankful that I have went this long without pain and my face has only slightly swelled since that time, nothing like it had been doing.
