Embarassed
Driving everyone nuts talking about my jaw injury/ facial tingling/ pain. I'm officially a pain in the ass. I'm just so scared of the diagnosis, the cost, getting the work finished, symptoms getting worse. The facial sensation is the worst. Want work done and no more with the dentist.
I'm very embarrassed. I'm that person I never dreamed Id be.

People here understand.
Vent as much and as often as you need to.
It's alright. 
You've got a continuing problem that you haven't found a solution for (yet), and apparently little or no support IRL. If it helps to write about it you'll get a sympathetic hearing here.
You've been through something really unfortunate that didn't have to happen that is causing you a lot of pain and fear. I'm glad you post so we know you are okay! So many of us have been in similar situations.
Hugs and good wishes.
Big DU hug to you
We all get so caught up in trying to do everything right, to keep our precious image perfect, that we don't allow ourselves any imperfections. I've finally realized now at 65 years of age that mistakes (whether real or perceived) are what make us approachable and human. Learning to ignore feelings of embarrassment and laugh at myself has given me a different perspective and a sense of freedom. I’ve gotten to that golden age where I don’t give a flug what others think.
You have love and support here, please don’t be embarrassed or hard on yourself.
