Osteonecrosis suggestions
Does anyone have access to the oral maxifacial journal for July there is refence to articles regarding ONJ. Sorry I haven't posted in a while but summer and vacations and too many kids. I have used all my dental insurance for the year, to try and get this crown on, and get rid of the left side gum sores. My teeth on the lower side are loose as well. I have used peridex, closis, biotene, 2 rounds antibiotics, coq10, vit c and kenalog/orabase gel. I have jaw pain that radiates up to my head, so then you worry about more mets, especially now I had to stop herceptin.
If anyone has any natural suggestions, rinses, vitamin combos etc, please help. I was able to maintain my weight on chemo, and thru the radiation, but this is kicking me!!!!!! I have lost around 10-15 pounds, which is worrying me. Has anyone gotten their inurance to pay for hyperbaric tx?
I appreciate all your posts and encougement to others!!!! Stay strong and faithful!!!
