Well my lovely K friends, I had quite an experience today! I went to an oral surgeon with the intention of getting my wisdom teeth out. Since I was having all four wisdom teeth out and one was wrapped around a nerve I chose to have laughing gas and a local anisthetic. This way I could tell him if he touched my nerve during the extraction.
On the way to the office I did grounding techniques in the car and noticed I was not afraid. Right before I walked into his office however I started to have some pretty intense kriyas. The woman behind the desk just thought I was really nervous because my whole body was shaking so much. By the time I sat down in his chair I felt nervous, but gratefully the kriyas had stopped. I started to inhale the laughing gas and he gave me five shots of novocaine. My heart rate sped up form the gas but eased shortly and this was a normal side effect. However, my body started shaking and thrashing shortly after. I'm used to this type of thing since it happens in my experience of K. I am not used to it at the dentists office though. I continued thrashing, convulsing, and making sounds for the next 20- 30 minutes, and my husband had to come in to make sure I didn't hit my head against anything. I was totally conscious the whole time but of course, I couldn't control my body.
The very kind oral surgeon didn't know what to do. He kept asking me if I wanted him to call the ambulance or if I needed to go to the hospital. My response to that was "hell no!" The last thing I needed was to be sedated and restrained. I insisted that I would be fine and I just needed to ride this out. He was open to the idea of K but could only relate what I was doing to his experience with other patients. He said it looked like convulsions except I was fully conscious and even at time laughing and making fun of myself. It became obvious to us both that I wasn't going to be able to have my teeth out because he wasn't able to work on a "moving target."
I am sharing this because it was quite a wild experience and also to let you know that I have had this experience with laughing gas. If any of you are planning to get your wisdom teeth extracted you might consider exploring other means of sedation.
Just a thought,
Isis
