i don't need an apology, i am trying to help you see that you deserve to find what is causing this, but need to just stop worrying so much, its only making matters worse! I would do as minh says and write down all symptoms you know of right now, and once you right them down, then just leave it be till you get to oral surgeon on the 8th, if anything else bad happens by then, i am sure with your list of symptoms, they'll check over everything.

I know it's very very hard to think you have something so bad, that could possibly kill you, and not get answers, that has to be very frustrating, but there has to be an explanation behind it, but don't jump the gun so quickly!

Try ur best to stay calm and do what you can to not dwell till the 8th. Then go from there with what the oral surgeon says! Please whatever you do, don't give up. Like minh says and like i said, there are quite a number of us out here that went through hell with treatment, but we feel it was worth it, even if it has made some aspects of life more difficult, we are still alive, and able to find happieness again, even if it takes time and isn't with the same things. It is possible to enjoy your life after treatment, but you have to go through treatment if they recommend it! Or at least give it a chance to help!!
