Today, I found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had eight teeth removed in preparation for getting my braces fitted. My winter break will now consists of barely being able to sleep or eat, tasting blood, and looking like a goofy-ass chipmunk. FML
Today, I went to the dentist and found out I still have a wisdom tooth. I got all four out last summer… or at least I thought I did. Now I have to go back and get it removed. Again. FML
Today, after a year or more of suffering with wisdom tooth pain, I finally had all 4 removed a few days ago. Relief? No. I’m in more pain now than I’ve ever been, and I can’t even eat for comfort. FML
Today, I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. I happen to be allergic to all types of pain medication. FML
Today, I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. One side of my face is completely swollen, and the other is normal. I feel like the elephant man. FML
Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. The local anesthesia worked on three of the four teeth. I found out about the last tooth when the dentist was mid-yank. FML
Today, I have both a cold and a period. Tomorrow, I will have a cold, my period and my wisdom teeth taken out. FML
Today, the dentist told me I needed to have two of my wisdom teeth on opposite ends of my mouth pulled. I suppose a liquid diet won't be all that bad. FML
Today, I became that small percent of people who face three different kinds of complications after their wisdom teeth are removed. FML
Today, I got hit in the mouth with a hockey stick and lost four teeth. Yesterday I got my braces of six years removed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The recovery process is not too bad. I was in pretty good condition 3 days after having 4 wisdom teeth taken out. I many many times would have prefered have the procedure done during break than during the college semester, i wasn't able to attend class nor do homework at home!

I hope that whoever will be taking your teeth out knows what he/she is doing! I have friends who had less wisdom teeth taken out than me, but they went through more pain than what I did. Sure, mines was more costly, but it was worth it (at least I stopped bleeding by the time I got home while they bled for days). But I guess you can look at it on the bright side? You are getting them all taken out at once, and you have the time to rest. It is much better than doing it during the school year (or work, or whatever your status is) in my opinion.

Been there, done that. Over christmas. I lost 12 pounds, and I was only 145 to begin with. Haha. That's because the meds make you loopy. I thought food was trying to eat ME...so I didn't eat it.

To those going "Oh I know your pain I had four blah blah blah." TRY HAVING EIGHT! I had the same rare condition too. My orthodontist said that in his fifty years of doing work as a surgeon, he'd never seen it before. You and I are a rare breed, OP.

It's really not that bad if you get them out early enough, Op. I had to have mine out at the very beginning of my summer break after freshman year of high school. If your teeth aren't fully grown in, yet, it's not that bad. Make sure you have ice packs for your cheeks. I used them, and the swelling went down after just a couple days, even though I had all 4 teeth out.
