Ended up going to the dentist today after being plagued by recurring toothache for most of the past weekend. Turned out an *abscess had formed adjacent to one of my few remaining BIG back teeth ... *for which I was duly prescribed a short course of Amoxicillin 250 mg capsules to be taken 3 times daily spaced out ... over the next 7 days.

Having already gone through ... HELL? (That certainly!) But ... what I meant to say was - in spite of consuming a full 16-pack of Tesco's extra powerful painkillers since the onset of the problem late last Friday evening and starting my prescription - I'm still getting agonising twinges gnawing away while I sit here waiting impatiently for the antibiotics to "kick in" properly.

Ouch!
