Don't know, that is the first time I've heard of that nerve.

Never vaped after an extraction - mine came out long ago, but I never heeded "no smoking" advice after dental procedures or anything else for that matter
Remember trying to wrap my lips around a smoke after novocain injections...
I always just cut the filters in half, so I didn't have to suck so hard to get a drag... because there was literally nothing that could stop me from smoking. Even the nausea of early pregnancy just made me cut down from 2 pks to 3-4 cigs a day.
The only thing that nearly worked was a godawful case of strep throat -- it hurt so bad, smoking was agony, so I didn't smoke at all for 3-4 days. When I was able to go outside and smoke, I thought, why not try to quit? Managed it for about 90 days, before the cravings sent me back to smoking.Andria
Sounds vaugely errotic?

Not at all. For one thing, it's the nerve that controls the gag reflex. In women, it's the nerve that controls cervical dilation. It's a very important nerve of the autonomic nervous system -- respiration and heart rate, hormones, temperature, all that sort of shit -- the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. I think it's even related to the reflex that closes the epiglottis when we swallow, so we don't choke.

Dale, my paternal grandmother was exactly like your mother. She'd be sitting watching tv and her heart rate would shoot up into the 225/200 range. She'd go to the hospital stay a few days and never have it happen there. Go home and about a year later, it would happen again.
That's exactly what's happening, Lynn...strange.
Now that I've talked to several folks, I see it's not so uncommon. The doctor wouldn't let on it was NOT uncommon, which figures.....
I think it started with her in her late 70's-early 80's.That's exactly what's happening, Lynn...strange.

My mother is 79, this started a few years ago.
haha....that is cute, Lynn....she was a feisty one.....My grandmother's just came out of the blue. She loved wrestling so we would tease her saying that watching wrestling was what brought it on. She'd get so angry if some dirty moves were pulled on her favorites.
Yes she was but thinking back, that woman was old even when I was a small child. But I guess birthing 14 kids will do that to you. Only 8 lived to adulthood though. The other 6 died when they were 2-4 years old.haha....that is cute, Lynn....she was a feisty one.....
She was born in 1890 and died in 1977.
wow, 14 children, unreal. Bet she was a wonderful women tho.Yes she was but thinking back, that woman was old even when I was a small child. But I guess birthing 14 kids will do that to you. Only 8 lived to adulthood though. The other 6 died when they were 2-4 years old.
Yeah she was. She came up in hard times and it showed.
A friend of mine sent me a bottle of pain relief blend that she made with essential oils. I'm really going to start picking her brain for more info on oils. She suggested 2 books that I hope I can pick up at Amazon this week after payday so I can learn more. I'm going to pick up Moringa powder from there too.
You have me thinking about my great grandmothers, great aunts, etc....they too had large families, and for the most part also lived in at the poverty level, but still made ends meet, and most of the children were good people who understood the value of a dollar.
I loaded up on the essential oils, and also ordered the Moringa. They are supposed to send a free book regarding the oils, co-written by Ty Bollinger.
My dad came from a family of alcoholics and prescription drug abusers. There were 6 boys and 2 girls that lived to adulthood. My dad was an alcoholic and a prescription drug abuser(I guess this is where I get the addictive gene) and had 3 other brothers who were alcoholics. His dad was also a prescription drug addict .

My father was an alcoholic too, he passed away at age 53.....massive heart attack.

This stuff, when you first rub it in turns cold but warms up after a minute or 2. Good stuff and doesn't smell too bad either. For the last 3 nights I've gotten very little sleep because my shoulders hurt so bad. I'm hoping tonight will be better with the addition of this oil.
Which oil are you referring to, Lynn?
Mine passed away in 2000 after having surgery for lung cancer. He came through the surgery just fine, then managed to yank his chest tube out which caused a PE. He spent 45 days in ICU, had finally managed to make it to Occupational Therapy where he had to relearn walking, talking and eating again after a tracheotomy. Nurse went in on rounds and found him dead. The doctor said that his heart disease was greater than he had realized. When he died though, he was finally at peace after a very tortured life.
This is a mixture of fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, and the essential oils she used are: Plal central, Kunzee, Black Pepper, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Rosemary and Peppermint.

Addiction runs hard core in my family too
My mother is still a raging alcoholic, as is one of my brothers. Alcohol has always kinda scared me, so use has been mainly sparse - and I've gone years at a time without touching a drop.
I fought addiction in the early 80s and cigarettes were a lifelong addiction. I've got other obsessions and demons though
Never got overweight until a few months ago though, and have never been a believer after discovering atheism in the sixth grade, lol

So sorry. I was about 18 when my father died. I had to work as much as I could to help my mother feed my younger brothers and sisters, my mom never actually had a job in her life. Then she landed a job at Ping golf clubs, and worked her way up to management, so it all worked out well in the end.
High five Lucy! addict here until rehab in 1981. I never, ever want to go through that again. I was drunk every day from the day I turned 15 until I was 18 years old. It was my way of getting through life. Now, I can take a drink or 2 and then stop but back then it was all or nothing.

It's hard.
Just before Christmas, I "found" my long-lost cousin I've been trying to find for about 25 years.
. She just spent three months in a homeless shelter in LA.
She says she's clean and found Jesus - but it didn't sound like it will last, with what is going on around her.
This is breaking my heart like nobody's business.

Morning, something funny.
Emma said she's 8 month's pregnant with my baby.....hmmm, funny that seeing as I had a vasectomy over three years ago, even had it tested again last year, 100% Jaffa.
I think she is either full of shit or full of someone's else cock.
The drama continues

My dad died of a massive heart attack at 43. He wasn't an alcoholic but did smoke. I believe his was inherited as his father died at 42.
Yup and this is what I'm always saying to myself, don't let idiots bring you down, stay happy, you never know when your time is up..
Wow that's crazy stuff there.Morning, something funny.
