Hey thread! I sure had a great two months, in no small part due to the extremely kind people in this thread, but now I'm back in misery-town.

As a refresher, I was diagnosed with panic disorder, which involved long (hours, whole days) bouts of gut-wrenching terror accompanied by patterns of physical symptoms, ranging from "the soles of my feet hurt/are buzzing" to "I feel like I'm having a heart attack right now, no joke." The medication combo that worked so well for two months seems to be losing effectiveness, the anxiety is back, and with is is tooth and jaw pain that's getting pretty loving bad, to the point I can't sleep because the pain gets worse when I lie down (same as the panic-induced heart racing, one of the things that led to conclude it was panic). My teeth are in bad shape and I can't really afford to fix them, naturally both they and going to the dentist gave me huge anxiety BEFORE the panic disorder thing, so it makes sense they'd be the newest thing to get phantom pain about. Because panic disorder makes it very difficult to evaluate medical poo poo (or just poo poo in general), I've called warm lines in the past for advice, and it's previously just been 'try to relax, see if things get better.' I did that this time, and instead both people urged me to go to the dentist, a recommendation I wasn't prepared for. I'm really scared, I haven't slept a wink tonight and I'm falling asleep standing up. I went to a cardiologist a few months ago and came back with great overall results, but this seems so much different and scarier, I have no idea how I'm gonna make it through a meeting where they could end up telling me they have to cut out a big part of my jaw or something. Very tempted to abuse painkillers or other substances, but know I shouldn't (did I mention I take care of my elderly/early dementia mother, and we both have issues with addiction and access to meds? fun stuff!), I'm just not sure what I can do. Any advice?
