Follow-Up:
I have one large bone spur on a lower gum. It doesn't usually hurt, but can get bothered by a cleanng. Don't think it has anything to do with BMS, but who knows! It seems like a fair number of people with BMS also report fibromyalgia symptoms. Mari, you mentioned arthritis. Recently, I tried Flex-a-min and it has helped me in regard to a knee that had gotten very sore. The fibro seems to move around. Strange! I am now in the process of getting a second crown. It is not pleasant, but I have more confidence in this dentist and feel he is more gentle. Wishing all of you reading this message board good luck and peace.
