Is this legal for the people at my mental health center to do?
I go through a prescription assistance program for my medication for OCD and ADHD right now since the cost of medication is sky high and I am poor. My doctor prescribed my meds of course and I always get it through the program which sends it their to the pharmacy at the center I go to for my therapy and doctor visits. I have to re-enroll in the program every year, and I usually have enough meds to last me until they approve the application again, NOT THIS YEAR. They did not have one bottle left when I had to sign up for the program again. I am almost out of one of the medicines I take and the other may last me, I haven't counted it yet. They said they would have to wait until the application comes through and they send me more bottle. In the meantime I have talked to the nurse there about it and she said she would talk to the doctor about it. That was the first nurse I talked to, another one called me monday after she got a hold of the notes from the first nurse going to the doctor. She was totally braindead and didn't understand what I was telling her. She first made the assumption that I was now making enough money to not qualify for the program and I had to bluntly state that I am having to wait on more meds while my application goes through. Heck, I am making less this year than I was last year. I lost my job and had to settle for one that paid less until I could find another. Still no luck with the crappy job market. They said it could take weeks but one time it took a month to go through(but I had plenty of meds then). They said all they can do is talk to the doctor about getting on a cheaper medicine that is supposed to treat the same stuff, but with a different name until it all goes through. That will be tommorow before the nurse can talk to her since the doctor was not there today. I was told they were going to talk to her on Monday. I can buy a 30 day supply of the pills but they cost over 0.00. I know abruptly going off of medication can make someone sick and even make their behavior go bad(some have gone on shooting sprees), can these people legally do this to me?? I mean that is just stupid/
The people at the pharmacy told me that it was time for me to re-apply. They have do it at a various time each year. It is a we-tell-you type situation. I didn't know.
They don't have samples either.
Worst Canker/cold sores ever, I've tried everything but it doesn't do anything?
I have 3 canker sores on my bottom lip, all in the same spot (it looks like it forms a triangle).
It hurts so bad, it brushes up on my teeth and it stings, it looks like I have this huge piercing in my lip.
I've tried everything from...
Salt (it just hurts like heck and makes it bleed a little), to sore medication (it numbs it, but never stays on), to ice, to mouth wash, and tums to cut down on the acidity in my stomach... and it just doesn't do anything. I stopped brushing my teeth cause I heard that SLS causes canker sores.
but that's not even how I got it... After school, I took a nap on accident, and when I woke up, i had these horrible sores on my lip. This was about a week ago.
I also heard it's caused by a vitamin deficiency.. but I take a multivitamin and i get most of my vitamins.

I tried using my toothbrush, put thats not working, stinging really bad. Plus some of the skin it kinda hanging off. Should I pull that off? One heck of a night. Thanks in advance
I have a TON of dental questions. Please answer all or one!?
1) I hate my dentist and need a new one soon. I'm due to go to the dentist in like 2 weeks.
2) It seems like when I brush my teeth a lot, I get like 2 cavities every time I go to the dentist, but when I don't brush as much as I should, I don't get any cavities? Is there a chance that plaque like protects my teeth, or that toothpaste erodes them?
3) I always feel so nervous when I go to the dentist, but I can't afford sedation dentistry. I've had issues since I had to get 2 teeth pulled for braces when I was 12. It hurt like heck and now I'm afraid everything will.
4) what is your opinion? Is it better to go to a smaller dental practice, or a larger one?
In your sources, when you answer any of the questions, if you could please tell me if you have any experience in the dental field, although I listen to anyone's advice.
12 cavities?? Can someone please tell me what to do?
Hello,
I don't trust dentists anymore. Each time I come to see them, I have cavities. I religiously brush and floss 1-2 times per day (which is a heck of a lot more than some other people who have no cavities at all).
They are very tiny cavities, the dentist wants to have them all filled. When I asked him about how to prevent them, he said brush/floss more often. But if I brush/floss more often I get sensitive teeth. I went to a different dentist and he diagnosed 12 cavities, and was also not interested in talking about prevention, but was very interested in talking about how he is going to drill my teeth, replace fillings, etc...
This is ridiculous. I'm still 21 years old and already have a million fillings. My diet is nothing out of the ordinary. Dentist said my enamel thickness is fine??? Drilling and putting in fillings will not address the cause of cavities. Can someone who has been in the same situation suggest what I can do? BTW fluoride treatment did not help.
Thank you very much...
I didn't ask if I should get them filled. I asked if there was anything I can do to cure/prevent them. Perhaps naturally???
Taking steps to improve my teeth. Tips?
I've having four cavities filled soon (so much for a 20 year cavity-free streak) and a handful of my teeth have chalky white spots (decalcification).
As of now I brush, rinse and floss. Clearly it's not enough, so here's what I have resolved to doing:
- Bye bye soda (at least for some time): I know soda is the biggest culprit here. If I must drink it, I will use a straw.
-Trident gum: I know it has that special sugar that starves bacteria that rot my teeth, so I'll be chewing that a lot (to get my mind off of soda).
- Fluoride rinse: Strengthen my teeth.
Any other suggestions? Also, out of curiosity, will I notice any differences within a month? I plan to do a before and after picture thing for the heck of it. Thanks!
canker sores?
i have a canker sore on the inside of my lips and next to my gums, it hurts like heck to eat or drink. Does anyone know a fast way of getting rid of canker sores faster. I tried Listerine, it numbs the pain for awhile but doesnt seem to be making it smaller or better.
