Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Sorry I haven't been on here lately, I have been going through some personal crisis not realted to my RA/fibro. I have been living w/ my mom for the past few months while I was going through the process of getting on SSDI. I got approved and I am moving out next month. To make a long story short, my mom threatened to kick me out because my husband was coming back into town. I know this effected my 87 y/o grandma who lives with us. The next day, my grandma was complaining of chest pain and she was rushed to the hospital. Her kidney's are starting to fail along w/fluid in her lungs and double pneumonia. She went down fast and is now in hospice. My husband was coming back into town so we can move into our new appartment. He wants to try a legal seperation. His timing is awful. I need to take care of my grandma first and then focus on getting me back. My husband understands and he wants to work it out...we are talking, but it's still painful. I want to check myself into an inpatient mental health facility for a 72 hour hold to try to get my medications right etc. My medicaid was canceled and now I would have to pay out to pocket...which I can't afford. I have been seeing my grandma and it causing my anxiety and PTSD much worse. I had a bad hospitalization and I have had bad anxiety and night terrors from when I was in the ICU. Needless to say, the stress of all this is making my RA/fibro top flare up. I think I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I am so very sorry for all of the stress that is going on in your life right now! And Lord only knows stress and our emotions make our health so much worse. I am keeping your grandmother in my prayers. And I hope you can work things out with your husband, once all of this crisis pass. It has really been a very bad week for crisis for some individuals that I know! My uncles sister, 49, petite, beautiful, extremely healthy, was cooking dinner for her family. While her husband was in the shower, he came out to find her unresponsive with her eyes rolled back in to her head. He tried CPR but could not revive her, neither could the paramedics. When I went to U of M monday, I had such a severe panic attack I seriously thought I lost my mind. We were entering into the parking garage, and all of a sudden, I felt the adrenaline rush, tasted the fear, and my mind just went crazy thinking I was dying that second. I wanted to pick up my telephone and call my psych to tell him I was going straight to U of M's 4th floor where their psych unit is. I kept thinking I needed a nurse or someone to come to the car to help me, I was sure I was dying and it wasn't panic. And out of nowhere my mom screamed at the top of her lungs to " stop it steph " like I could really help it! I too have felt I need inpatient care until I can calm down. My psych said Medicare only pays if I am an absolute danger to myself. That is so bizarre, apparently my telling them I want to be euthanized isn't good enough! I am sorry to hear that your Medicaid got cancelled, are they working on that to get that fixed for you? I can completely empathize with things you are going through right now and I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. With all of the stress going on, even though it is very difficult, try to be very gentle with yourself. Please keep me updated <man_u8@...> wrote: Sorry I haven't been on here lately, I have been going through some personal crisis not realted to my RA/fibro.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Heidi and Steph, Thanks, I appreciate your support. The doctors are giving my grandma 1-2 weeks. My husband and I are talking and I guess we are getting better...we both want this to make this marriage work. I still feel like I need to check myself in once everything with my grandma clears up. Apprently, my medicaid was approved when it shouldn't have been. I was told that I make " a suppstantial amount of money from SSDI " and I don't qualify for anything. The only way, I can be approved for medicaid is if I can prove to them that I incapable of taking care of myself physically and I need assistance to help with manageing my medications and appointments. I am screwed until I get Medicare. When it rains, it poors. Sorry I haven't been > > on here lately, I have been going through some > > personal crisis not realted to my RA/fibro.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks, Melynda and . My grandma has about 1-2 weeks and all I can do is spend as much time as I can with her and cherish the good times. I have never been a religious person, but I find myself praying during times like this.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi Rita! Your husbands case sounds like mine! It took 5 years for me even though I failed the SS doctors exams and was agoraphobic and disabled with panic disorder on top of the inflammatory arthritis, Fibromyaliga, myofascia pain syndrome, blood clotting disorder, liver disease, asthma, heart conditions, and quite a few others. & nbsp; I hope one of these days that the system gets the improvement it needs! For my appeal I got a lawyer and it saved me a ton of stress (well some stress) that I went through the first time.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Rita, It took me 6 months. I got approved on the first try. I think what helped me was that I had all my medical records from the past 2 years. I also got a lawyer from the get go...I didn't wait to get denied and then get one. I honestly think it helped my case. I have a good friend of mine who as lupus and MS. She is in worse shape then I am, we applied around the same time and she got denied. I live in Colorado and I from the few people I have talked to who have applied for SSDI in Colorado...getting approved on the 1st try is really unheard of. Best of luck to you. > > if you dont mind me asking, how long did it take you to get on the SSDI? my husband is going into year number 3 and we live in ga. good luck......thanks rita > > > > [ ] Multiple Stresses > > > Sorry I haven't been on here lately, I have been going through some > personal crisis not realted to my RA/fibro.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 thanks for the info . It is my husband I am trying to get it for. He has had a brain bleed, on meds for seizures, open heart surgery, colon cancer, bad effects from chemo, thalassemia, city of hope hemoglobin disease, etc. just to name a few. he has been denied 3 times. we are on the verge of loosing our home he is just 50. the cancer dr says with his type cancer you rarely live over 3 years but since he doesn't have it today he cannot sign that he is disabled. they removed 3 1/2 feet of his colon and did an ilestomy for 2 years, we have just had that reversed, so he has very little colon left which means diarrhea. he is so strong thru all this it makes me sad that i worry. it really causes my RA to flare. thanks for listening and maybe you could say a prayer for his healing and getting the SSDI so the last few years he has at least he can eat and drive to where we want to go without worrying about money. rita [ ] Multiple Stresses > > > Sorry I haven't been on here lately, I have been going through some > personal crisis not realted to my RA/fibro.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Rita, I am really suprised that he has been denied. I had a few feet of my colon removed and I had a colostomy for a few months; it has since been removed. I have a hernia from the initial insicion, PTSD. My health went downhill fast when I went septic and it was just cause and effect. My doctors didn't want me to file for SSDI, but they understood why I did. In a matter of a year, my health was shot, we lost our home, our car and then my job. It has been almost 2 years since I initially got sick and we are just starting to get back on our feet. (knock on wood, nothing else goes wrong). Best of luck to you...I know it can be an uphill climb. > > thanks for the info . It is my husband I am trying to get it for. He has had a brain bleed, on meds for seizures, open heart surgery, colon cancer, bad effects from chemo, thalassemia, city of hope hemoglobin disease, etc. just to name a few. he has been denied 3 times. we are on the verge of loosing our home he is just 50. the cancer dr says with his type cancer you rarely live over 3 years but since he doesn't have it today he cannot sign that he is disabled. they removed 3 1/2 feet of his colon and did an ilestomy for 2 years, we have just had that reversed, so he has very little colon left which means diarrhea. he is so strong thru all this it makes me sad that i worry. it really causes my RA to flare. thanks for listening and maybe you could say a prayer for his healing and getting the SSDI so the last few years he has at least he can eat and drive to where we want to go without worrying about money. rita > > > > [ ] Multiple Stresses > > > > > > Sorry I haven't been on here lately, I have been going through some > > personal crisis not realted to my RA/fibro.
