Kathi in OK

[Guest guest]

Kathi, did your doctor have to say he thought you needed SSI? I

haven't asked my new doctor but my family talked me into asking my

Oregon Doctor and he said they look for deformaties they don't care

how much you hurt. I don't have any deformaties but I am really week

in my hands and sometimes when I try to stand my legs don't want to

work. I guess you know how that is, as does most of the people in

the group. Actually it is scary when you have used all the new meds

and they don't work. Good old methotrexate is still working some

what, hope it hangs in there till they have something new.

Thanks. in WA

>Kathi, My mother was born in Dow, Oklahoma and moved to Oregon when

she was under 10, I understand it was because her mother had TB and

ended up in the TB home in The Dallas, where she died when my mother

was 10. I don't know how much she can remember of Oklahoma but I do

know there were a lot of bad memories (family not state). Some day I

hope to get to Oklahoma just to see where she was born, but who knows

haven't been to far out of the Northwest yet. I also get the weight

problem from that side, my grandfather was 6'4 " and weighed over 300

lbs. I never met him but he would have been a super grandpa, loved

people. I wish people would see that beyond our size, we are really

nice people.

Hope you are having a pain free weekend. in WA
