mleku on Nostr: after being kept up most of the night with pain in my jaw and constant recurring ...
after being kept up most of the night with pain in my jaw and constant recurring thoughts about how i am going to fix some problem in the memory utilization (now seems to be stable staying under 500Mb)
i can't help but be reminded that in the times where i have had mild to severe bouts of tooth pain, certain kinds of coffee were part of this problem
i now realise, that probably black and white pepper were probably contributing something to this, but i'm almost certain that there is sugars in the caramels of roasted coffee that also tweak the hell out of dental nerves
i probably am extra sensitive to the chemicals in the peppercorns, i generally don't include them in my diet and it was a recent bout of wanting some hot in my food without it being a burning ring of fire situation
well, turns out that actually, chilli, in its various forms, is somewhat anaesthetic, whereas whatever it is in pepper corns is most definitely not anaesthetic, in fact i'd say it's more like proalgesic - it makes every pain in the body more intense, not just the ones it's directly impacting... bruises on my shins from bumping into my bed or pedals on my bicycle, suddenly hurt 10x more...
so, i'm done with the coffee... it's just not negotiable at this point... i'm almost certain with the remnants of the pepper corns still making my wisdom tooth feel warm and causing the tooth to stand up more so i can't close my jaw fully without pain says that if i now add the extract of roasted coffee beans to my mouth that for the next half a day i'll be cursing myself for not keeping that shit the fuck out of my mouth
i have a schedule right now... this week i have to get everything lined up to make a good presentation next monday that seals the deal on the rest of the funding for my work, that guarantees that i will have further work
i know i'm gonna be a bit slower for a while, maybe even i should go get no-doz from the pharmacy, along with some oral xylocaine gel, just to be sure, because there is no form of caffeine that doesn't bring with it the threat of my face hurting like fuck for days on end
and it sure as hell finishes any question about whether it's gonna be ok for me to eat processed foods out of packets, that's a no
almost all of them contain extracts of black and white pepper corns, which is how i got in this situation in the first place, they are just, no
and it's annoying as hell, the best measure i have for this is to stick with milk... but non-UHT milk is nearly unobtanium anywhere on this island, in the giant aisles of the machico continente, there was rarely any more full fat pasteurised milk as there is in my local meu super down the hill, which is to say, almost never enough for me to not have to go there at least 3x a week to pick up more
yes i'm gonna get my teeth patched up but outside the more show-stopping problem of my teeth going nuts with pain from the "spices" and the caramels of coffee and the artificial sweeteners, i'm in a pretty small place when it comes to what i can do with impunity
i'm kinda stupid when it comes to some things, especially where it is self inflicted suffering, i can do that a lot longer than i can mess with doing dumbshit that causes other people to hurt me
in this case, it's now a rule
- no coffee
- no artificial sweeteners
- no sugar
- no carbs, especially not high fructose corn
- no peppercorns or products containing derivatives of them
- no chilli - it's not so bad, but it enrages my intestines
- no sugar in general, no malts, no beer, no cider, no softdrink
there's not a lot left outside of that, that is in common trade in the grocery stores, you wouldn't believe how little there is outside of that
but this is the situation i am in, until i get my goat ranch up the mountain
also i am gonna get a dentist to remove this wisdom tooth and i'm gonna ask about any and all measures that can be taken to block out all the exposed dental nerves on my teeth
one night of can't sleep is one thing but this isn't an isolated incident... i've been fighting with this dental nerve problem for probably a decade now, and that list above is all the things that i have confirmed make it worse in the time between
