I agree 100%. People get really upset if they suspect that you are telling them

they have something wrong. Same goes for their kids lol.

I completely agree with Gretchen. By starting off with talking about your

story it is more likely to inspire thoughts like " me too, I've had the same

things happen, if this is hereditary maybe I should talk to my doctor

about it " rather than the defensiveness than can be inspired by telling someone

what you think they have.

Any change in therapy should be discussed with the parent first before

implementing.

When my dd was in private ST the therapist did place her with another child & it

was called a Diad. You may want to pose the question of whether this is the

right approach for Apraxia to

The longer I stay in this house the more ill I become, its gotten to the point

that in the past 2 days I almost went to the emergency room. After my first

exposure I stayed at a hotel for 3 months but they have since raised their rates

by almost 200.00/month which i cant afford.

Im becoming desperate in my search for a safe place to live as i can no longer

go on feeling like this. i thought about moving back to my home town but wont

have the emotional support i so desperately need and staying where im at isnt a

possibility because it's so darn expensive.

I have to find a safe place to live, buy clothes, furniture, pay rent and put

down a deposit. I simply dont have the money to do all that, if anyone has any

advice on how to get any of this done i'd be more than happy to listen to your

suggestions.

You could run an ad, plus search for ads (Craigslist, MCSSafeShelterUSA, etc)

for a furnished bedroom and bath (w/ kitchen privileges) in the home of a

chemically sensitive person while you try to find a place of your own and start

over.  Would be cheaper than a hotel I would think.  Good luck!

Corky thanks for the reply, I've been running ads in craigslist but for some

reason havent had much luck. Just about every place I've looked at either would

have effected my MCS or had a water leak and the owner couldn't verify if there

was mold or not. There was small studio that would have been perfect for me but

the unit above it had a pretty bad water leak in the bathroom and they had to

tear out the ceiling to fix it. I could have rented it but if it had mold I

would have had to move and once again replace all my belongings, it just wasn't

worth the risk.

There's some extended stay hotels in the area that are a little expensive but by

the time I pay rent, and the utilities I would save about $50.00 a month by

renting an apartment as opposed to staying in a hotel. Keep in mind that if I

move into an apartment Im still going to have to buy furniture, even if I buy

off craigslist Im still going to have to spend money I don't have. The problem

with a hotel is sooner or later Im going to have to find an apartment, living in

a hotel for a year or so doesn't seem like the proper thing to do.

All this has come about because I wanted to buy a place of my own to improve my

quality of life. How could things go so bad?

Have you seen this? http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=150413784999257

it's a facebook page run by an MCS site that is trying to provide safe housing.

I haven't seen it but its a possibility.

Let me know if it pans out-good luck!

Tug, how do you know it's the house and not something else? It seems to be

sure, you would need to leave the house and see if you start to feel better to

know. I did that. I was there three months but started to feel better in the

first month. Someone could have something like EBV for example and feel worse

and worse and it wouldn't be the house. Lots of things make you feel very

tired, but now remembering you said you don't feel tired, have lots of energy.

Why do you think you are sick, if you have lots of energy?

When you say you have to meet a high deductible to see your son's psychiatrist

who prescribed his medication, is that $1000 deductible for any doctor, or just

mental health? It seems like if the psychiatrist prescribed the drug already

that your child's pediatrician should be able to help with refills, if there is

no deductible to see a primary care physician. As for social security, there is

good info on the TACA website about how to apply for SSI (which would get your

child Medicaid coverage), or a Beckett/deeming waiver if your family

income disqualifies the child for Medicaid ( Beckett waiver looks only a

child's income, I believe).

By the way, for anyone dealing with autism and insurance companies, there is a

group dealing specifically with that. In my state, North Carolina, my

insurance policy excludes treatment for developmental delay, so I guess it

depends where you live (the key is not to have treatments coded for autism).

Good luck!

> My son has been seeing a therapist and Psychiatrist who has him on a

Medication. We recently got new insurance through my husbands work that wants us

to reach a out of pocket max of $1,000 before they will cover him to see the

doctor. We can not afford the fees for service and can not get the medication

without seeing the psychiatrist because only he can prescribe it. do not know

what to do right now. My mom mentioned that i should try to put him on social

security disability but I'm not sure about that either. Does anyone have any

advice???
