I'm not sure what EUS is.

I don't do well with sounds. I can close my eyes & try not to think about the tube part but the noise my push me over the edge. I have issues with sounds in every day life & rarely have even a tv on at home.
MeAndMine wrote:Thanks everyone, the info helps a lot to understand it more. I'm trying to get through one day at a time. Today is another dental day. I've got to have a good bit of work done & wish I was more like others in the dentist chair. All of my siblings have it, I think my older brother is the worst though. Poor thing gets up in the middle & says "Whew, it's hot in here!" We had awful times with a childhood dentist.
Speaking of that, the MRI place asked if I had any metal in my body & I said that I have fillings but really I've had so much done, does dental work cause an issue? I like amalgam fillings but I still have some old fillings. Also had a bad root canal where they had to go back & drill into the crown & do a second take which they filled with the old type of filling.
Everything seems to go so slow. I want to hurry, hurry, hurry but I know I need to learn to wait. I'm still so anxious. I've never been one to take medicine but feel like if I could just take something my brain could rest. I've not slept well for too long.
My dentist closed his office here so I have a good bit of a drive to get to him today. I'm going to try to find something to do over that way to try to break out of my mindset.
Wishing you all happy thoughts & a productive day. Thanks for being there.
I have maybe one or two amalgam fillings and it wasn't an issue.

Thanks Mike, I was wondering about them & if they were an issue.
I did get my terms mixed up but I do have amalgam fillings. I meant that I like the resin type tooth colored fillings. I have some of those but still have some of the old amalgam too.
