Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks to everyone for your kind, and also very informative, messages. In answer to some of your questions: 1. In North Carolina no person between 19 and 65 is entitled to Medicaid no matter how low their resources or how poor they are, unless they are on Social Security Disability. When this law was passed, if someone was already on Medicaid, it wasn't taken away from them, but no one new can go on it. 2. I have had several conversations with Social Security, and was always given this same information a) an application for disability takes at least two years to process, and 2) if I apply for Social Security Retirement, then I cannot apply for Social Security Disability. However, I will call the 800 number one of you gave me, and ask again. 3. I have no clubbing of my fingers whatsoever. 4. In South Korea doctors just LOOOOOOOVE chest x-rays. Therefore in my time there I had 23 chest x-rays, some of which were in bizarre positions. Even to my untrained eyes the " spider webs " in my lungs suddenly began to grow quickly...lungs are pretty white. Thanks so much...I'll let you know what I'm told when I eventually actually go to a doctor. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
