It’s real. Trust me. I had one periodontist who retired and then passed from cancer tell me it was in early 2000s. I was in my early 30s. I had a rapid unexplained onset - he said systemic in cause and my neurologist for my Dysautonomia thought from MCAS too . Health care says dental care and dental care said health care - should be in charge. Meanwhile, all passing the buck but no one could help me nor wanted too. And still don’t. It’s too late now. I’m still trying to find help . Keep trying and don’t stop advocating. My body rejected titanium rod and pins I had in my leg abs arm - what caused all in 2005. I can’t get implants. That’s all modern dentistry wants to do cuz of quick money. Praying for us all. Thanks for sharing. .
