Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Very Glad that you have finally been approved for SSD. It is so unfortunate that those who suffer with this illness have to fight so hard for assistance. Take care & try to stay well.MattSubject: SSDTo: Neurosarcoidosis Date: Saturday, October 17, 2009, 8:41 PM Hey Everyone, I finally was approved for SSD this month. They are back dating only back a year but being one of the lucky ones with a private disability policy, I cannot complain. The only thing I don't like is that I will have just over 12 months to wait until I can get Medicare. That is one of the only reasons I wanted the SSD; my husband works at the local shipyard and has been laid off before. Until there is healthcare reform, I want to be sure I am covered and COBRA only lasts so long. I still don't have a definite diagnosis and am currently not being treated right now so I have no real life....but the grand children keep me motivated. I was really sick about a month ago with bronchitis and I could barely walk. Very scary but things are better now. The neuropathy and numbness in my feet and legs keeps me close to home but I remind myself that I am blessed to have a roof over my head and things could be a lot worse. I have been lurking a lot and I hope everyone is doing as well as possible. Will check in again soon. Terri G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
