Hello, I'm a 43yr. old single man. I am disabled with heart and lung difficulty from having scollois and the major surgery when I was 16. I have worked two jobs (1 full time 1 part time) most of my life to support myself and live a nearly normal young life. When I was 37-38ish I caught phenmonia and altered my breathing for about 3 years then I got blood clots in my lungs at 40 after being layed off from work and unable to work my second job. I was told to move from Colorado my home state of 34 years that I loved and all my freinds where there. I moved to Nebraska to help my Mother recover from 2 very bad heart attacks and to help take care of my nephew who had just been turned over to his dad (my brother) after being abused by his mothers boyfriend. after being here for a couple years I and ending up on disability I later developed a popping in my jaw and pain with it. I seen a dentist and after some counsiling it was desided that it was better to have all my teeth pulled and have dentures. I did'nt have the best teeth in the world I thought a new smile would be nice. well unfourtunantly I cannot get past the gagging when my $1150.00 dentures touch the roof of my mouth. I've tryed every thing from cough syrup to numb my mouth to every goo or adhesive there is. the thing is nothing can touch the roof of my mouth or I gag and wont stop. I have these expencsive Dentures that have'nt been worn more then 5 mins. and tryed over and over . The dentist re-did them twice so they fit and told me he cant do any more for the money I paid. well that money was all I could get loaned from bank and that was 3+ years ago now. I have a small mouth from what all the dentist say and these dentures may not fit any more. SO here I am in Nebraska toothless and broke and medicare wont help. but I have these $1150.00 paper holders. I would guess I need new dentures and the tops with no roof and 4 minimum inplants to lock the dentures down. but would be up to doing what the dentist wanted to try.
Thanks for any help in advance!
