Re: Dry mouth medical conditions

Good morning,
I am currently looking for assistance, but I am having a very tough time. So many of the programs I find for dental, financial health or dry mouth issues are for women and children, and maybe single fathers. I am a single male with no children.
I had been managing, doing my best to pay my bills. Then, in December, I got very sick. Turns out I had pneumonia in both lungs. I was in the hospital for 10 days. A couple weeks after, I ended up having thrush on my mouth, which is like dry mouth. I could barely eat, drink, or talk. That was more time that I couldn't work. Then on Feb 9th, I went back to the hospital for 5 days. I was getting fever spikes each night.
In the last 70 days, I have only worked 164 hours. Normally it would be approximately 400 hours. Obviously that causes a huge difference in my paycheck. Also, it's not helping that my rent is going up $50 next month, and that my job is being eliminated on March 6th.
I'm not sure if this will affect anything for eligibility, but I was born with a birth defect; only 7 fingers (2 on my right hand.)
Hopefully there is something available for me. I appreciate any info that you can provide.
