Howdy Becki!

I'm sorry you are having so many problems. I sure do understand them. The reason your teeth are having problems, is because teeth are bones. (At least that is what I've been told.) I also am having my teeth rot out of my mouth.

About the Disability Act; you might consider contacting the Labor Board in your area. They may be able to help you in this situation. Having the letter from your doctor will probably help. If they can't help, you might consider contacting a disability attorney for advise.

I hope it all goes well for you! Let us know.
You're in my prayers.

Love and Hugs,
Lori
