Toothache

Tortures the nerve constantly 
Ongoing severe painful throb
Only abstraction is the cure
This pain is worse than labor pain
Horrendous sharp electric shocks,
And advil is just a temporary fix
Can't sleep at all
Hurt all night long
Eating food is not an option

It's so hard to concentrate on any thing if you've got a really bad toothache. It's expensive I know but the only real relief is to get that tooth attended to. Hope it will be over soon.
