Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 in reading a few of the post seems like I am not so alone. I found out 5 years ago I had RA. I have 3 kids and we cannot afford medical insurance...like many other Americans. So my treatment is not constant which has landed me in alot of pain. Now it is time to try to afford treatment again. What I am finding is that the rheumatologists in my area don't even want to talk to you if you don't have insurance. I tried ssi but they turned me down and even with working til i had my second child means nothing to ss since it was not within the last ten years. I feel like the government is telling me it is wrong to be a stay at home mom. My main problem in dealing with all of this is that everyday I find things I can no longer do and trying to raise my kids. Then I have to decide between possibly loosing the house and medical treatment. sorry for going on but it felt good. Also I am bi- polar which I am on meds for and in reading alot of the drugs will mess with moods so that could effect my mental health. For now I just take everything one day at a time.
