Hi Ellisa, Sorry you are having to go thru all of that. It's hard enough to have this disease, without being put thru the ringer,, so to speak. I was very fortunate in that area i guess. As i said in my other letter,, my branch requested a letter from the original neuro. and i had already had...

Hi Everyone, I'm not sure how many of you are presently drawing Social Security Disabiliy, but i am. So i can tell you my experience with it. In Feb. 2005 i was put on Short Term Disability from my place of work. Which only covered me until June. I had to be off work for 6 months before our...

Hey Tracy, No need to apoligize for your reply. I'd love to get more money , as i'm sure everyone would. But i have checked into this,, and was sent a letter,, from my branch of the SS. stating that because of my age and number of years worked,, this is what i get. And because of my age,, i...

Hello Leo, I'm not sure how it works in California, but in Michigan,, you will not qualify for SSI as long as you have a 401-k plan. So before you are forced to quit your job and end up like me. ,, you may want to make sure your money is working for you ,, not against you. So you may want to...

Sara, I'm very sorry to hear of all your loses, but i agree with you that God has a plan and a reason for each one of us. I am thankful for you that your family is a close one. My family is going thru alot of health problems right now too. Not nearly as bad as yours but bad enough. We almost...

Thanks MTPockets, That just sounds so weird, how they just let ya go home,, without figuring out anything. I'm glad it finally went away on it's own,, but sure does make ya wonder what caused it,, huh? God forbid you have to cough while crossing a busy street or something. Or turn your head...

Hi Felicia Welcome, to our reality. Here you'll find answers to your questions, and shoulders to cry on when you need to vent. You said your away from your family, but i assume they live close enough to come visit. Are you allowed to leave the nursing home to go out for lunch with them from...

Hello Paradox. Like the other ones on here ,, i certainly advise getting the insurance NOW while you can. I was put on short term disability at my place of work. While the doctors figured out what was wrong with me. It all went very fast for me. After the diagnosis, they had me apply for...

Hello, I can only answer for myself but that is exactly how this disease has worked with me. I was real bad during the diagnosis. Then i seemed to level out for a while. Then i actually seemed to get better for short periods of time. But each time i have a bad spell, i seem to get a new...

Thanks Al, I'll let ya know what the doctors find out about my brother. Just in case they do come up with a new symptom in some people for this disease. Hope your Thanksgiving was good. Marlo
