Guest guest Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hi , Yes I have family near. When I had my insurance it was a mail program, so when I lost my job I had just recently gotten my 3 month supply. It will soon be gone and I have not idea what I will do, God will intervene I am sure. I signed up for my SSD & SSI, also signed up for one of the government programs for a medical card, I do not know if I will get it or not.

You are taking as many meds as me. I always have fear of losing my insurance. How do you deal with that? Do you have other family members close by? -----Original Message-----From: Joy [mailto:jhooper@...]Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2003 8:24 PMRheumatoid Arthritis Subject: New To Posting Hi I am 58, will be 59 next month and have arthtitis, fibro, heart, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, problems sleeping. My dr. did some blood work but says I don't have RA. I have nodules on several of my fingers. I also have pain in my knees and hips, also in my feet and hands. My hands sometimes I cannot even open a jar, It hurts and I have not strength. I also have a pinched nerve in my hip. He said the blood work does not say RA, but said there are many kinds of arthritis. do the nodules mean I have RA? I take for the arthritis and fibro celebrex if needed, 100mgx2 day, celexa for depression 40mgsx1 day, then I take other meds for diabetes, heart and high blood pressure. Everything seem to be under control with my other health problems thank God . I also take ultram 3xday for pain if needed and vicodin for break through pain. I also take tramadol 100mg at bedtime to help me sleep. The dr. just raised it to that and it sure is helping. I have a lot of stress at the time, my husband and I of 35 years split up in January, he has a track record with other women and I am just weary of going through that again. We also went bankrupt on our home and I now have nothing. My job was terminated in June. I am staying in the home at this time as it has not been finished yet, then I have no idea what I will do. I signed up for SSD and SSI so hope I will be able to get it. Thank you for listening, Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
