20. CRAP!

Tue Feb 25, 2025, 08:40 PM

Feb 25

I went to the dentist today. They cannot do anything until they get approval from the insurance company. That may take up to a month. I cannot last that long with this pain.

The dentist gave me antibiotics. I have never had issue with those before the last time I used them, when I threw one up after taking it. But, I tried it again. I was feeling fine until I went to eat some soup. It started again. I was in the middle of typing a post here when it happened. Now, I do not want to take the things, but they are the only thing now that took the pain edge off.

Now, what can I do? What alternatives are there to Amoxycillin and the like?

I am so tired of suffering. If it is not my health, it is my socioeconomic position. If it is not that, it is my inability to do anything and thus making me the ultimate failure. I can't win.

Like Hugh Jackman's part in 'Deadpool and Wolverine', I am the worst baldy there is.

I am not sure how to find a social worker. I guess a search with that term would be a good start. OldBaldy1701E Feb 22 #10
