Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 It took me from November 1999 through March 2001 to get my benefits. I got an attorney to help me who specializes in SS. I have been off of work 3 years now - officially TODAY. I stopped working May 21, 1999. I also have long term disability - very lucky to have this. They are reviewing it now, since its been 3 years. I sure hope they don't reject me because I would never be able to survive without it. Sherri, did you keep trying? I was turned down 3 times before it finally went before a judge and I was approved 4 months later. Keep a positive thought for me Please!

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hi, I work full-time, and have not considered applying for Social Security yet. I think I would go crazy if I didn't work, as much as it hurts me to do so. Mentally, it's beneficial, especially now that I'm on Zoloft, and am not unintentionally making things harder for myself anymore. I am looking for a different job, preferably with a bigger company, where I would have a specified amount of sick days I could take, and that way, I'd be able to take a day off if I needed it without getting a nasty lecture from my boss. Take care everyone, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Altman is the one who founded this board. He died in 2004 after a long courageous battle with stage 4 colon cancer, His family has graciously kept this site up and running since then according to 's final wishes. The information he had posted is helpful if you use it. did a lot of research for all of us on various treatment options etc. saving us hours of leg work and helping many of us find hope. You are entitled to your opinion, but I for one will be forever grateful for all those ALTMAN posts. They quite possibly have prolonged my husband's life and given me hope.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 for some reason I could not vote on the poll. But I thought this site was for colon cancer only. I do not like all of the posting from altman on here. I know i haven't been on here long. but enjoy the group that was posting. So I will not keep comming back to this site. has gotten taken over by others. I know others are in need of this infomation you are posting. but please go back to another site for all this. sorry to be so negitave about this. but this is how i feel. I guess every one has their own feelings about this. and i will probely be the only one to express mine. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Priscilla responded to this as well.. I don't know about the poll, maybe was something at the group site. But the posts were altman posts which Priscilla stated were the former or owner of this club who has since passed away. I really was just responding to her comment about " the club being 'taken over' by these elements " which such is NOT the case at all. Check Priscillas post.... I will find it and post it here. Well be darned I can't find it. If anything I deleted it and should be in my trash but it is no where. She did it this morning, maybe an hour or so ago.. Arghhhh. I hate when that happens.. Trying to remember who posted the messagein first place. Might have been hanky but can't remember for sure.
