Hi @Genathomas1539. It sounds like you are feeling pretty overwhelmed right now. It's frustrating when doctors won't take Medicaid and it doesn't seem very fair. No wonder you are feeling depressed. Have you ever used the Navigator service offered by the National MS Society? You can give them a call or email them and they will help you with issues like finding a doctor. Here is a link. Some MS medications can cause hair loss, but I have not heard of any that would cause you to lose teeth. The hair loss and tooth loss might be caused by something entirely different, like a thyroid disorder. Do you have a primary care physician you can contact? We are here for you whenever you are feeling down and need support or a place to vent. Please keep me posted as to how you are doing. I will be thinking about you. - Lori (Team Member)
