I had no medical records in my packet because they were all over 3 years old,

and Dr R wants your significant records from the past 3 years. I did,

however, have my PCP list all my co-morbidities and their duration, including

past surgeries.

I am SO glad you asked this question ! I am in the same situation, but

I am more worried about the insurance approval (proving medical need)! I

have even considered (don't tell anyone) spending the next few months going

to the doctor everytime I had a complaint! I have seen him so many times

and I am smart enough to know that most of my problems (poor circulation,

high cholesterol, pain in joints, etc) are all related to the fact that I am

more than two times my ideal body weight! I don't need to pay a doctor to

tell me to eat carrots and exercise! If I were that easy, I'd be thin! I

hope you get an answer to your question... I'll look forward to it! Good

luck!

Thanks,

Re: Need Help

Dear Group,

I have had a time submitting my packet. Too long to tell you about!

Anyway, I finally heard from Jill and they have everything,but I made a

mistake.

I thought someone on here said to write the letter in third person, and that

was wrong so I rewrote it. No big deal. But what I am afraid of is that I

have no medical records to submit. Will this be a problem? Everytime I went

with a complaint the Dr. said it was due to weight. so I stopped complaining

and decided to have this surgery. Has anyone else submitted with out

records?

Heidi, I'd check to see if it's a flare. Just to be safe.

Hi, Heidi, before I was diagnosed with rp this used

to happen to me. I'm afraid it sounds a bit like a

flare - I'm sorry he is feeling yucky. Get him

checked out!!

Hope you are ok. love Liz

Hi I need help with something Don has this morning please. When he woke up his nose was all swollen. Then after a while he was up it went down again. Now he is back in bed and it is swelling again. Has anyone ever had this ??? He has been a little under the weather here not really a cold or Flu but just icky.

I am going to call Dr. when the open just wondering if any of you ever had this happen to you.Thanks

Heidi, My nose would swell when I was having a nose flare, but so many allergies and stuff like that and colds are going around, I'm hoping that is all it is. I know I am way behind even reading this, so forgive me. Please let me know how Don is.

You two take care,

Love you
