Hi. I had root canal tooth extracted almost a month ago, and bone cleaned to remove old infection, and some of my OCD symptoms have almost gone - and that is with 8 surface (very shallow) fillings left.

My anxiety at night is higher than usual, and my physical symptoms seem a little worse - my muscles feel weaker than usual and hypersensitive skin - but I was starting to get chronic tic like symptoms and counting symptoms that I hadn't had since late childhood. They are virtually gone - I find myself not counting steps on the stairs, not counting brush strokes and not feeling compelled to move my head etc.

I still have a bad compulsion to blink, but omega 3 supplement seems to be helping - it's early days. Unfortunately I can't find one that isn't flax seed oil, but it's so processed and purified that the amount of phytoestrogens in it is probably minimal. I'm not sure if it's making my muscles weaker or not, but I've lost 14 lbs over the past few months since cutting out dairy, and that's probably making my muscles weaker aswell.

But I can definitely feel the difference mentally from getting the tooth out - it was the biggest chunk of amalgam in my mouth, the biggest voltage charge, and biggest tooth that I kept grinding (I have bruxism). I'm also taking magnesium every day, and that might be helping.
