Ent said call the dentist. Dentist can't help, said call the ortho. Orthodontist won't help. Primary Care doctor will only prescribe muscle relaxers (which doesn't solve the issue, but helps some.) Told me to call an oral surgeon. Then every oral surgeon I call, there's a huge upfront cost.

I don't have that sort of money to drop on something that MIGHT help, and just for the evaluation! What am I supposed to do man?I just feel like crying. Why does insurance have to be such a living hell? Why can't we just get help for this? It's so debilitating

Just wanted to share something that seems to have helped me, although slightly unconventional. I took two basic cloth/elastic headbands and looped them under my chin and around the back of my head for sleeping. It kept my mouth closed at night, and seemed to have helped a tremendous amount. It's a very cheap option for those without a high income.

I know this is a long shot, but Google hasn't been of much help. I just remember a piece of art, and for the life of me, I cannot remember who painted it or what the painting was named. I would love to rediscover the artist.

The piece was a pretty realistic painting of a woman who was sort of hunched over. She had nipple tassels, and I believe red paint circling her breasts in a geometric pattern, almost like a target (sort of psychedelic looking, not in style but in subject). And also, a headpiece of some sort that was animalistic or tribal-ish looking. I can see it so clearly in my head, and I'm sorry if the description is vague. Any help at all would be very appreciated!
