Here's an odd one. I've never liked the dentist but never had problems with actually having work done until a few years ago when, coincidentally, or is it, I entered perimenopuase.
Poor old dentist was drilling away when I gagged, I had no idea what was happening, and I bent his drill bit! It couldn't have been mind over matter because my mind wasn't aware such a thing even existed. Now of course it happens every time, even at check ups, very awkward.
has anyone else suffered this?
No, but you made me laugh, so thankyou 😀x
During peri (but I didn't know it was that at the time) I had a year or two where I could not eat anything solid before going to work. I would heave and gag if I put anything solid into my mouth and this included a toothbrush with toothpaste on it!!! I could take liquids so ended up having either Complan or Slimfast for my breakfast!! Recently, I have tied all this in with it possibly being something to do with peri. It was around the time when I was having night sweats but i also didn't realise that was what those were at the time, as i though 38-40 was way too young for menopause and didn't know there was such a thing as perimenopause!
I put it down to wearing too much in bed 😁!! X
