I am in desperate need of some major dental work. When I was nineteen I was hospitalized because of a staff infection and spent over a year in and out of the hospital trying to fight it off... while in the hospital I was told that the strain of staff I had would always remain in my blood and would most likely take it's toll on my imune system making it harder for me to fight off infections etc for the rest of my life. I'm now 25 years old and I'm finding out that they weren't joking. I broke a tooth about a year ago and since I don't have insurance and my boyfriend & I have been in a really tight spot financially this last year because he had to be unexpectedly hospitalized and have emergency surgery.... after that coming at us from out of nowhere & him not having insurance either.... we just haven't had the money to pay for me to get the dental work done that I need and now since I've put it off for so long it has caused major problems for the rest of my mouth and other teeth have become weak and infected and now I fear it's starting to take its toll in other areas besides just my mouth.... I've recently started having major migraines and have recently started even seeing the infection take it's toll on my skin too with major breakouts and acne. (Something I never ever had any issue with before this tooth problem) This whole mess has not only hurt my physical health but it has also hurt my self confidense and has left me feeling ugly and depressed to the point where I don't even like to go out of the house or be around people. I'm desperate for help so If anybody can assisit I assure you I'd be forever greatful. Thanks
