There is more than medicine.....
Oh man, I sincerely feel for ya. I've got SERIOUS dental problems and maybe not what your describing, but PAIN is PAIN. Ditto what everyone else says and one thing more. I tried FATTIES! It helped me through it ......Now please don't look down on me for this. Even California has medical fatty laws
But it helped. For a while. Insurance was a joke. Had it. Small print exclusion promps me to induce the same pain to Insurance Plan CEO's face. And worse.
Fucking theives.
My sister went through ten years of pain that the doctors just assumed the first doctor diagnosed it correctly as Chronic Fatigue syndrome.
Ha! What a joke. Finally got in to see a specialist at UCD(University of Davis medical hospital) where a doctor REALLY knew what the hell was going on. He immedietly diagnosed her correctly. MS. Terrible. She faces it daily. For that, there is only hope. And without that, you have nothing. And the ONLY place that dispenses hope is....well, you know.
My family is deeply religeous. They believe. They have faith. They pray. My sister has gone into remission. Thank god.
When my self prescribed medicinal failed, and could not affort pro dental hep(still can't) I turned to my family. They have no money, but they prayed. I havn't had a single episode in almost a year, even though my teeth are rotting. I hate to say it. My dad was in the Navy when I was a kid, and their only procedure for dental care was to pull them. By the time I was 18, I had lost lets say, many teeth. When I turned 18, there was no such thing as insurance. Over time, even with self hygene, my teeth were a goner.
Anyway, keep us posted buddy. After all, what are friends for. Not all fun. Don't be afraid to share with us. Everyone needs someone to talk to. Not just recording either. We are all ears.
Which brings me to a subject, discussed on John Sayers site(you know who he is?)
which began as an innocent question I posed to Barefoot(acoustics moderator at Johns site) and became a full fledged debate on faith vs. science. I won't go there. I don't preach. I just have faith. And since I can do nothing else, I will pray for you my friend. Not for just relief, but cure. That is not to say I do not believe in science. Or medical wonders. But sometimes, even those run out of hope. And if you run out of hope, you are lost forever.

ps, I know your wondering why I have spent my budget on tools etc instead of having my teeth problem repaired(sic) Ha.....the last dental doctor told me they must all be pulled. And replaced with dentures. Total cost. $6500......I decided I would spend the money on tools so I could make a living ...and, hopefully pay for my dental too. But I am in no pain, so I get on with the plan.
I even had someone from the studio forum pm me one time, calling me a "whiner".
