Tooth abcess = sinus infection = anger?

I haven't posted in several days, and here's why: I went to a new dentist, found out I had gum disease (oh, great!), discussed with him my ongoing sinus problems and a couple of days later, found myself in his chair having a tooth extracted. That was yesterday. Once the tooth was out, he found it was horribly infected and had abcessed into the floor of the sinus cavity.

Long story short, I have been carrying around chronic infection in my body for several years. I feel so much better today -- both physically and mentally -- that I'm wondering how much this has had to do with my general crabbiness. I know I haven't felt well for a looooong time. I had been to several dentists and ENTs, trying to find someone who'd connect the dots between my dental and sinus problems. I always suspected they were related. And evidently they were.

Maybe it's just the huge relief over maybe, finally, finding a solution to this -- but I swear I have felt significantly calmer and clearer in the last 24 hours.

Hope it's going to last.
