I've had 12 major surgeries, am allergic to PCN, Sulfa, iodine, betadine, Hibiclens, steroids cause incredible problems - can't have MRIs because I have a spinal cord stimulator. So, that's why I can't find a dentist - I couldn't find a (good) dentist even before I was looking at crowns, partials and dentures.

I can't imagine finding a practice (medical or dental) that would devote the time necessary to finding out about the glycol allergy. I've seen a lot of providers over the years and the BEST I get is a list of 3or 4 possible meds for ME to research and to call back IF I can take any of them. No one out there volunteers to lift a finger to help with this allergy. I seriously think it's time to give up pursuing all these medical and dental problems, and so does my husband. Make my home as comfortable as possible, only do the miminum needed to get the meds I can't live without, and accept life living here in my home until I die. Could be a lot worse than banging my head against the wall, which I feel I do a lot of now. Oh well, it is what it is - a pain in the ***. You don't want to be the patient that takes up all the time.
