Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I appreciate hearing how far you all have traveled to find a good doctor and where you all are. My husband has enjoyed moving too much and used to think we needed to move somewhere else for better care, jobs, people.... Each time I read your posts (2 hours travel, 100+ miles, etc) I tell him and now he's settled to not moving. He can not bear to see me be jacked around again, nor seeing me paralyzed in pain.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Jeanette, I used to live in Pasadena, California and I had great doctors all in Pasadena. When me and my husband relocated to Denver, Colorado a fews ago, it was harder to find good doctors. For some odd reason, doctors here didn't beleive that I had RA and many think fibromyaglia is not a disease. Eventually, through trial and error, I found some good doctors who are willing to treat me. They are fairly close to where I live, so I can't complain too bad. The only thing is that I haven't been able to find is a good pain management doctor here. The economy sucks balls here though...my husband has been out of work since December and hasn't had much luck w/ finding a job. I had to quit working because my RA/fibro went into overdrive. I am staying w/ my mom until I get approved for SSDI. I wouldn't recommend moving to Colorado, the climate is too crazy and the winters tend to make me flare-up worse then they did when I lived in Southern California. I think I am the only person on this board who is in Colorado. Take care. > > I appreciate hearing how far you all have traveled to find a good > doctor and where you all are.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Good luck with your SSDI !! I finally got mine a little over a year ago. I had been denied due to a " clerical error " supposedly but retained an attorney and then ended up winning. He was even able to get me back pay for the entire 5 years my fight took. I still find it impossible to believe they made a clerical error since I did not pass their physicians exams, have severe panic disorder with panic attacks and generalized anxiety, FMS, MPS, cardiac issues, and the RA. The person that had been in charge of my case and my rehabilitation counselor had both said " oh you look too good, you are young and educated. Try working at Mcdonalds they hire disabled people! " I was so angry! My specialists had filled out tons of forms with my restrictions of not being able to even lift 10 lbs. I hope things go very smoothly for you! I traveled to southern california a few years ago and I felt miraculous for a few days (I'm in Michigan) but when I go to Florida, I get very sick there. I'm not sure if its the humidity there or what, but every time I go I relapse:( --- <man_u8@...> wrote: > Jeanette, > > I used to live in Pasadena, California and I had > great doctors all in > Pasadena.
