Hi Connie. Has anyone mentioned Jigsaw Health to you? They are a

foundation which helps provide financing for dental revision work.

The web site is http://www.jigsawhealth.org/. I did not go through

them, but I have heard several positive things about them.

I had 11 fillings and 2 crowns which I had replaced with composites.

It is a big job but it can be done. The first step is to find a good

mercury free dentist. I found mine from the list that the DAMS

organization provides. At that time they didn't have a web site, you

had to write to them and request it, so it took awhile. A good

holistic dentist will/should have some recommendations on how to seek

help with the finances.

Also, if you've been unable to work for that long you should see about

the possibility of getting disability, either SSDI or SSI. SSDI is

based on what you've paid into social security through work, and SSI

is needs-based. I had many problems but no single " qualifying "

diagnosis so I didn't apply for a long time, until one of my medical

providers insisted I do so. Turns out they also consider the total

number of diagnoses. So my disability was awarded based on 9

diagnoses, not just one. And they retro'd the date further back than

I expected, so the SSDI " back pay " is what paid for my revision work.

It is a big stress relief to not be freeloading off family any more.

I don't get enough to live alone, and I'm not sure I could right now

anyway, but it is enough that I can pay my own expenses. I won't tell

you that it's easy--there are a lot of emotional and psychological

issues about being disabled--but the fact was that before I was

disabled and sponging, now I am disabled and somewhat self-sufficient

(my sister doesn't mind my living with her since I am here after

school for her kids, so it's a win-win).

Now matter what you do, it's a long road that we are all on. Take it

slow and steady, and keep working on it.
