Since the loon is Minnesota's state bird, I'm guessing you're from that state, Loon-Lover.  Is that correct?

[Loon-Lover]

Michigan! Sorry about that, I assumed dee was talking about Michigan as well. Hmmmmm, now i wonder. 

[deeindiana]

No, you are correct. It is the Un. of Michigan Med Center in Ann Arbor. And yes,Loon-Lover, I see Dr. Perado too! What a small world! I'm going to send you an email.

Thanks for all the tooth advice about Sjogren's. It never would've occurred to me that SS could cause a tooth nerve to suddenly give up the ghost! Sigh... More joys of SS.

I've made an appointment but they couldn't get me in until Monday (I guess you have to wait when you are new in town). But...I've got some Tylenol with Codeine around here and I can pop one of those if the pain gets too bad.
