Overwhelmed [View all]

I took a benzo. I'm going to be referred to an gi xray, since I'm still having abdominal pains. The Miralax didn't fix it. Its been going on 21 days. Its time, to move forward, but I'm worried.

Tomorrow commences the TMJ steps to supposedly fix it over months. I gag easily, and they'll be affixing a perma botton guard splint. So worried the cost will go over what was agreed on. This cost and hoping it'll actually be fixed, plus abdominal pain of unknown origin, has me in a tailspin. I know serious medical costs can destroy a persons life and savings.

I have original Medicare but cannot afford a supplement. This pain came out of nowhere.

I'm so scared. Thanks for reading.
