Oh Gina I hope by the time you read this you feel better. I cried when I read your post, not only do I understand I feel like I am living it too. It has been a bad day for us all today, I went back to the Doctor I will tell you about it later when you feel better, I know so well when physical symptoms arise it blows my panic out of control, and I despise myself for it but I cannot help it, I think I am going to take the Paxil and the Klonopin again, anything to stop the hell I am going through. Gina its going to get better, its a very bad day, tomm will be better, when we hit bottom we have no choice but to go up. Please hang in there Gina. God bless you, Debbie.

Hey Gina! Don't worry about the exposed bone. If the doctor was worried about it, he would have done more for you. It will just take time for your body to heal - but it will heal. You will not die from this! I've had a reaction to lipstick like that before also. I've never had any allergies to make up but one day I put on lipstick and the next morning it felt like a lump in my lip and I thought for sure I was dying of cancer or something. It was all swollen and looked like a big blister. But, it went away in a day or two because it was simply an allergic reaction. I'm sure this is what has happened to you also. I've never had that problem with lipstick since - just that one time. I'm thinking you're probably having this problem with your lip because you've got so much going on in your mouth right now. But don't worry - it will be ok!! Just give it some time. When you start feeling like you're about to freak out, tell yourself over and over that it is just anxiety and that you are healthy and not dying. Remind yourself that your mouth is healing right now and it will take some time but that it doesn't mean it's anything negative to your health. And take some deep breaths. It helps. I promise you will be ok!! Hang in there and remember you are stronger than you feel!

hi everyone, i think i am having a breakdown. i am in pain from my mouth still and i had a reaction to some lipstick i bought i woke up with swollen lip and blisters on my lip. i cried and went to my oral surgen she said i have bone exposed. its not infected thank god.but i feel like i am losing it. i am shaky and fearing i might die.i dont feel right. my husband doesnt want to hear about it. i feel alone. i want to commit myself. the only thing holding me back is my little girl it would crush her if i had to go away for awhile.i feel like a bad mom and wife. i feel out of it!!!my hands are sweating as i type.i need someone to hold me and say i will be ok.i want to get a full body scan to make sure there is nothing wrong with me. but that costs big bucks.i need friends. i called my counciler but he is still on vacation.i truly feel scrared and depressed with no where to turn. i have felt this way since last night. please replys i really needs friends!!!! gina
