I am grabbing at straws here. My medicare A and B does not cover any type of Dental. I have Prescription Insurance - Humana preferred. No dental insurance

Yesterday Dirk got me this brush type gel to put on my left upper teeth to see if that would help the pain any. It has somewhat. I don't have any wisdom teeth, they were taken out years ago. So, it could just be helping the lower ear area, who knows.

I called a few places to have this area of my mouth/teeth checked out, and even with their payment plans and such, you have to put down so much money for a year, then pay the rest out of pocket. I don't have that type of money.

I am going to look into Care Credit which is another Dental plan. That I saw on a ad in the phone book, under one dentist, that also showed the Dept. of Eco. Insurance. I assume that is under their health plan, which is crappy if you need to go to the hospital and such, at least I think so, and I would lose my Medicare, I assume.

The woman at one place,told me some of the side effects of a problem with teeth is ear aches, headaches and something to do with saliva in your mouth.

I am also going to call Dept. of Economic Security where they give me money for food each month, also where they give people Health insurance if needed and spending money on a card like the food card if needed. I only get 100.00 per month for food, besides my SSDI.

I could just scream the pain is sooooooooooooooooooo bad. I stayed in bed and slept the entire day yesterday, I self medicated, with my pain med, migraine med, ear drops, teeth swab gel, anxiety pill, woke up at 10pm last night. Then had a banana and a bottle of water and went back to bed till now, 7am.

Tomorrow I see my PCP at 7:45 am, I sure hope I can make the drive there, it's around 40 minutes and you know how it is when you are in pain and have to leave the house for any reason, yet alone drive.

I am asking for a few prayers if you get a minute. I would appreciate it.
I am at my wits end with this, it's been weeks and weeks it seems.

Hugs and Thanks, Nikko
