Have any of you noticed any correlation with tooth dysfunction and weird neurogenic other pains? IE you are starting  to have something going on with a tooth or teeth that might not be completely self-evident what problem is yet,  like maybe its an emerging crack or bite problem  but that is starting to be temp sensitive sometimes mild or more painful days---any correlation of that with strange flare ups after chewing on sensitive teeth of: feeling drunk and neurogenic pain in other parts of body like sting pain in spine or ICH headaches, feet pain, eyes hurting ?

I am trying to understand what the mechanism is---I think it is a new sort of flare I can get in last 5 yearsish. Up to like age 50 a tooth might have a problem and hurt but it didn't seem to set off symphony of other really problematic things in body when it got irritated, it would just hurt, unless my neck got hurt from being in a dental chair.

If anyone has noticed something like this I would love to know your theory on what is going on......its really frustrating, have not found an obvious fix in the moment other than giving up chewing and maybe just eating soup or smoothies all the time but I don't have that much self control :)  And I am dreading and delaying going to dentist/endo for thorough eval because the process of analysis with their tapping on all my teeth and sitting in chair etc will no doubt set off longer flare and I have a lot to do lately........so am trying to find avoidance techniques like liquid meals until I can't stand it and will have to take time off work to deal w/eval treatment and pain of it whatever it is.......which could take a awhile

acupuncture has been helping somewhat the last month take edge off pain of it all and at times hopeful but other times it seems like if she does too many points near my neck it can set off the ICH symptoms (intracranial hypertension) so its not failsafe but hit and miss
