Full on toothache - make that T.O.O.T.H.A.C.H.E! but then again I am prone to anxiety and hypochondria. No, this  time it is real. I rang up at 1030 and made an appointment with my dentist for 4pm.

I've had toothache since Monday when I made an appointment for Friday but the pain was more intermittent and I also thought it might be sinus-related. I guess it could be right upper or lower but now I'm almost 99 per cent sure it is from a crowned tooth on the right lower. I took two Prodeine and I am trying not to put any pressure on it.

I wonder if the worst thing to happen to a hypochondriac is to be actually ill and in pain?
