well crap! Wouldnt surprise me the way our lives intersect. What is it?

With burning mouth syndrome, your mouth may feel dry. Salivary tests can tell if you have a reduced salivary flow. I have dry mouth with the meds I take. Soo..

There are no fibers in mushrooms are there?

But they aren't old enough to be on medicare are they? You aren't?

I will never get it because I didnt pay into it. The boys both have medicare and medicaid. Tom is 86 and Robert was disabled since birth

Granny since we switched to Medicare Advantage we no longer pay a monthly premium for health care ins or prescription med ins. And now we even get about $120 a month in dollars to spend on OTC meds and healthy foods.

I love it. We used to think those annoying commercials were just that, annoying, not fir real, must be a catch. Them my daughter's daughter in law let me know it was real. She answered the phones for folks checking it out.

Tom can get Medicare Advantage. Medicaid is not the same program as Medicare. Separate program for younger people like Robert.

Granny you don't pay into medicare. You pay into Social Security. Call your local SSI office and ask about being on Medicare without drawing SSI. You should be entitled to draw on Tom's SSI if he lives until you turn 65 I think. Ask the right people.

I hope humana has a plan as good as UHC's Medicare Advantage plan for the extra perks. I don't know much about Humana now but long ago it left so much to be desired. My brother had it and he had to use only their docs.

Social Security is part of medicare. That was the reason they wont give it to me.

Medicare is part of Social Security. Medicare at age 65 and SSI at 67. I've never known the medicare part needing the 40 quarters of income to be eligible for health care though.
