Hi Jen......I know how frustrated you are...and I am too. Just don't

quite give up yet. I've been fight this same system for 12...yeah,

12 long, long years. The first 10 were the hardest. These past 2

have been just fighting for SSI, and fighting to have someone, anyone

give me the pain meds I need to make it thru the days & nights. I

can't say it will get better, I'm just hoping it will get better for

your sake, and for everyone new who is d/x with this nasty illness.

Its not a fun way to live, but just don't give up yet, ok? Someone

has to go on & fight for what we all need. Hang in there kid! And

please let me know how you are doing.........

Lots of Hugs,
