Good answer Kathrynne...so here is another dental related question.
Yesterday I had two small cavities filled (new resin product). Novacaine
was used, it lasted 45 minutes, as it should, starting at 10:30 am.
What I am concerned about is -- shortly after getting the local anesthetic,
I had to urinate...and at 10 minute intervals for a while.
I had to pull over and relieve myself on the way home...there is a lot of
privacy on a snowy gravel road on the edge of the prairie. My kidneys ached.
The intervals gradually increased during the day, until 6:00 pm when things got
back to normal. My PD symptoms were not well masked by the Mirapex.
Today, I talked to my dentist, and he can't think of why this would happen.
The only PD medication I am taking is Mirapex 1.5 mg tid.
I'll be sharing this, and other personal mysteries with a
gastroenterologist on Monday (1/10/2000), but,
if anyone has been there, done that--let me know.
