Any benefit from Nitrous Oxide?

Maybe you should find a different doctor. MMA is far superior to serum B12, which misses many B12 deficiencies.

In the meantime, on a CBC, if MCV is over 94 or so, you might suspect B12 deficiency, although it could also be folate or B6.

I am in an extended crash approaching whitney level of illness. And I also already have doctors that are better than 90 percent of the ones ppl have z they know what me/cfs is and mcas and pots and eds and dont force exercise on me. but I know that's not good enough. IRS not simple for me to get a doctor though. A really good doctor who is me/cfs specialist and advocates for me is a rare privilege I currently dont have. I'm trying my best.

Cbcs normal except eosinophils high I think but that's been true for years

Bringing back bad memories just reading the words "nitrous oxide."
Not sure if the dentist screwed up or it was just my weird body but as little child the dentist gave me nitrous oxide to fill cavities and it was horrid. The dentist was visually going in and out and the sound of the drill going "Waaaa.....waaaah.....waaaaah." It was so awful. I cried out for my mum. Not sure what happened.

For future appointments he filled my teeth with no anesthetics at all.

thats so horrific. we were tortured in the 1950s 60s era....for sure.

Years later, my eight year old, and my husband took her and wasn't in the room: unforgivable.

the sound of the drill was pretty intense last week...I doubt wearing ear plugs would matter...add to list of crash causes.

Parents weren't allowed in the dental room.
And yes, that dentist was a sadist for sure.

Yes it's pretty bad.

As a child on too much nitrous oxide the noise was incredibly disorienting the way it faded in and out and in and out. Booble no like drugs.

I might be having nitrous oxide at the dentist soon. I am hoping to persuade the dentist to do a trial run, before the actual dental work.

I wonder if it will be helpful due to increasing cerebral blood flow as well as for the usual properties.

Harumph. The dentist has refused to do a trial run, making vague noises about “people’s reactions are different on different days”. Well, maybe, but a) I doubt it would be a huge difference from one week to the next and b) I’m not risking it.

Very occasionally, nitrous oxide can cause hallucinations or unpleasant feelings, and people report that they can’t speak during these episodes, or that they hear themselves telling the dentist that they are okay when they aren’t.

I already have trouble speaking during dental appointments because of exhaustion and cognitive problems. I am not going to risk finding myself half way through a filling and not being able to speak or communicate. It’s hard enough to do that as it is.

For example, imagine if the local anesthetic wears off early (a longstanding problem for me) and I can’t ask for another shot. Eep.

Maybe I should try some illegally at home!
