I am soooo livid <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

A few weeks ago I took my son in for his dental cleaning. Well, unfortunately they found cavities this time around. While I was there they had me fill out paperwork and one of the questions was if he was alergic to mercury or nickel. I put down that he was cause my life has been ruined due to the fact I have a mouth full of mercury.

So we scheduled to have his cavities taken care of the end of the month. I get my reminder phone call this morning for his up and coming appointment on Monday. Then when I was out shopping, I come home to a message on my machine saying that they need a note from a Dr. stating that he was tested for mercury and nickel and that he is in fact alergic to it. I got right on the phone and I was furious. I told them that my life has been ruined because I have a mouth full of mercury and I lost my mom 2 years ago to MS because she also had a mouth full of mercury and you people will NOT put that poison in my sons mouth and I dont need to have him tested. Whether he tests positive or negative is irrelivent as you will not put it in his mouth.

She proceeded to tell me that that is the policy of the insurance company as they want to put the "cheapest" filling in and they wont pay for composite if he can have the amalgam. I told her that he had two done a few years ago and the insurance paid for it and didnt say anything. She told me that the policy changed at the beginning of the year to these new rules. She was getting very cocky and condensending because of my anger about mercury. I am sick and tired of these stupid people!!! I ended up hanging up on her I was just shaking with anger. Just because my son has MA, we are scum and deserve to get what is the cheapest ? So now we all know that all the poor people in this country have no choice but to get poisoned if they have cavities. Well guess what corrupt FDA, government, ADA etc. - your not touching my son!

And if you are wondering why I am so angry lady- it is just one of the MANY symptoms of my mercury poisoning!
