Summary
A person with ME/CFS had a root canal under full general anaesthesia given by the dentist's anaesthetist. They said it gave them the best sleep they had had in a while, but they still crashed afterwards, though less than after nitrous for a cleaning and filling. They noted it was not cheap.
