Dear Esther51~

You are an incredibly beautiful woman.  I have read your posts and I thank you for your kind words.

I did find some clinical trials specializing in barrett's esophogus in california- that may be of interest to you.  

As for the dental care - that is much more difficult. What I can suggest is this: I have the new dentist make a report on his findings and take it back to the original dentist who made the dentures. See if they can adjust the dentures to fit properly. Yea, I know it is a long shot but it might be worth a try. Tell them you cannot wear them because they do not fit properly and never have. If you can at least get the top to fit - you will feel a LOT better. 

One other thing I can suggest is PROSPER - it is a person to person loan site - which may be helpful instead of going through a bank. HOWEVER the interest rate may be higher, but you may have a better chance of getting approved. 

Also have you checked into dental schools in your area? While I have never had any work done by them, some people have referred others to them - perhaps they can do a portion of the work... while a specialist does the rest. 

 I did a quick check and found the DEREN KOLIGAN CARE CENTER

Not only do they have a dental clinic , but they also have a GERD clinic that may be able to help with your Barrett's esophogus  - it is right in fresno as well... I hope this helps..

God bless you for all your research, I still haven't found help yet, but Im not giving up, and I refuse to lost hope, if I didn't have a God in my life. I would have given up, if you have time you can read my very long post, and about me, I'm still new to this so I get confused if the abot me is suppose be a brief thing, and then the posts are the problems/help to give or get to others...  anyway  the picture of me on my profile is me putting on a happy face with my top dentures, I won't go into  details..   

I just wanted to say thank you, and God bless you and all those on this wonderful site, just seeing everyone trying to help each other, puts a smile on my face... have a blessed weekend.                 Kat
