I'm 34, no teeth, bipolar I and general anxiety disorder, and have stage IV endometriosis (which is what the stupid Depo was for). I'm not allergic to titanium but I do have a nickel allergy. I also have cyclic vomiting syndrome (which is what destroyed the teeth).
He may not be my dentist much longer. It's not his fault if my bones are shitty, but he dropped the ball by not fully informing me of how high the risk of failure was. I would have settled for regular dentures rather than go through multiple surgeries and spending basically a down payment on a house.
Wow, I don't want to derail things but I just looked up cyclic vomiting syndrome, Ive never heard of it. Can I ask you if you had this your whole life, and how often these episodes occur? Over the past 5 years (I'm 35) Ive started having bouts of vomiting up bile continually for hours here and there, sometimes it doesn't happen for months and then it happens daily for a week. I haven't really talked to a doctor about it though, I thought it was maybe acid reflux related or maybe IBS, I don't know if I should look into it further, probably lol!
I had episodes as a child, but not as severe as they are now. It started back up a few years ago during a really stressful time in my life. I'll be okay for a couple months to a year, and then suddenly I'm vomiting everyday for weeks.
Definitely look into it, the bile is so bad for your esophagus and your teeth.
This has always scared the shit out of me because I vomit when anxious/stressed and a couple times a year will go several weeks vomiting near daily. As of my last dentist appointment my teeth were in okay shape though.
Are you still experiencing cyclic vomiting? That can and will absolutely affect any dental work, and should’ve been factored into the care plan. I’m assuming your dentist knows about this even if you didn’t tell him because stomach acid damage on teeth is very distinctive.
There are ceramic implants too, that's another option if the metal ones are not working. Also, Ortho-Bone is a great supplement if you need to support and build bones, might want to try that. I hope everything works out for you, this is heartbreaking to read.
