Thanks for the pro tip. Fortunately, my current career position does not require much writing except for emails to clients

and now for something completely unrelated...

[ramonesfreak]

Yea that’s unrelated. & Perfect for 420 day. Thanks

Can’t think of anything else

Diabetic nerve issues tend to go towards extremeties by nature. Dont believe this is related.

Multiple anesthesia injections can scar the nerve. On the lower jaw injection site tends to be at the buccal (lower rear corner of the mouth) to hit the entire string. Usual symptoms manifest as sensations, shocks or zaps, neuropathy or neuralgia, and diminish or become less sensitive over time. Local anesthesia allergy would tend to peak at the time of the dental work and fade as the medication wears off and is eliminated from the body.

Anesthesia can cause or create some bizarre conditions but I would tend to go with the most obvious which is Gustatory rhinitis. Its far more common than people think.

The biomechanical action of chewing, breaking down food and releasing those tasteful chemicals all at once is a sensory storm. Who has not had a nose itch, bead of sweat on a forehead, face got flush or felt the heat when they eat spicy foods? I honestly can't think of anyone. Some may just feel the experience more than others.

Another idea is the Eustachian tubes in your throat do lead up to your middle ear. Eating action/spices/hot food may have some affect on the ears but not sure how that would tie to the sinus flow.

If you are concerned asking the dentist may be a better option and could provide better insight since they are more familiar with the trigeminal nerve than say a general practioner would be.

Eat away and enjoy your meal.

I am not a doctor but having a front row seat to everything under the sun dental in five decades totalling the cost of a used Provost is some good experience. Dentists don't provide anesthesia so you dont feel the procedure, they juice you to shut you up and let them work.

Thanks for the excellent information. !!

You need to find a new doc.
Especially if you will trust a bunch of guys on line over your own doctor.
Most are not idiots- but just like auto mechanics a few are.

I know. Had him 30 years. I think I keep him because my elderly parents go there and it makes it easier for me to speak to him about them.

Have you ever googled your condition?

I did and this came up.

The medical term for a runny nose is rhinorrhea. A person's nose might run after eating because they have food allergies, which is called allergic rhinitis. If a person's nose runs without their having a food allergy, this is called gustatory rhinitis, which is a type of non-allergic rhinitis.

I sneeze quite a bit after I eat, always have.

[stevej37]

I know my problem is completely different but.....whenever I eat anything toasted esp bread, I cough and hack.
I found out that when taking a bite..I was inhaling tiny toasted particles into my windpipe.
If I'm careful to not inhale air while taking a bite...it never happens.

I cry during sex but my doctor said that it's probably just the pepper spray.

[speeder]

I also sometimes cry when I think about how much time I've spent on this forum.

[ramonesfreak]

So do I. Lucky, I was paid while doing so for most of it

That may be the funniest thing I've ever seen you write. Well done, Speeder.

[speeder]

Thanks, Guy, but I can't take credit for originality on that one. It's a version of an old joke.

[stevej37]

Rodney had a few jokes he told about crying during sex....I wish I could remember them.

[Starless]

I sneeze just before sex. 3 Times. Never fails. My wife just looks at me and counts as i sneeze. Then she'll say, ready? We get a good laugh out of it.
Good thing I'm no longer dating.

[speeder]

“Do you smoke after sex?”

“I dunno, I never checked.”

I’ll be here all week.

Second joke here:
