Roxanne,

Congratulations! I'm so glad you got your SSDI approval quickly and without any hassles. It must be a relief, I know it was for me.

When you do start using the oxygen at night I think you may be amazed at how much better you'll start feeling. You'll be getting much better rest if you not desatting all night and consequently you'll feel better during the day.

Keep us posted!

Hello all and a happy Easter to everyone.I had a pretty miserable day at work on Friday, but arrived home to a phone call from my case worker at Social Security advising me that my claim has been approved! WOW---only 3 months and no hoops.I want to thank everyone here for all the thorough information I received and followed to the "T". I had and furnished copies of all my tests and reports and made surebefore filing that my doctors were in agreement. I never even had to report in person but only had 1 telephone interview.You are all a great bunch of people and help me daily to cope and gain understanding about illness and grace under pressure. Lou is a daily source of encouragement with her strength and determination;

Bruce, thanks forall you do to explain things for those like me who have a very limited attention span these days; Beth and Peggy for your humor and spontaneous friendship for everyone; MamaSher thanks for your plain down to earth good sense! Jack, I continue to be amazed at your kindness; and many many others from whom I learn and gain patience and hopefully wisdom.I don't post much, but wanted you all to know that you and what you do is important!P.s.---I just got the report from my overnite oximeter study and I had 272 "events" of desaturation- --guess I'll soon be joining the ranks of oxygen users at night.Roxanne, 59, South Carolina2006 Asthma/ PF2008 IPF/ Sarcoidosis/ GerdLady Slipper Orchid
