It's Me -

[Guest guest]

Good evening all....I must say this has been one of the worse days

I've had in a long time. I really appreciate all of the

encouragement. I have not given up.. All I can tell you guys to do

is make for sure your PCP lists everything that is listed on your on-

line form as far as past surgery or joint pain etc. Also, watch what

you say or write ...At this point I don't know what I'm going to do.

ALSO: I really am sorry if the new requirements are in any way a

result of my post or e-mails. I thought this was a place to share

frustration with friends who understand what you are going through. I

did not mean any disrespect.

In case you guys didn't read my post early today:

Here is an exact quote of what was on my e-mail:

" Hi,

We have been trying to call you for several days.

I rejected your application because your form says

that you have Polycystic ovary disease, arthritis

edema and 4 surgeries and your history and physical

exam lists none of these that I can see.

Sorry

RR "

I wish you could see my packet, I really spent a lot

of time getting it ready. I felt like I went above and

beyond what was requested at times. Maybe everyone

else does too. I don't know. All I know is I listed 3

surgeries - laproscopic for endometriosis in 97,

Laproscopic to check for kidney stones in 94, and

Hysterectomy for polycystic ovary disease. I also

stated that I have had problems with joint and back

pain. All of these surgeries were preformed by

previous specialist. When my doctor prepared my

history she did not list these. That's all I can

tell...

Now, what am I doing about it? I e-mailed Dr. R. and

made positively for sure that he has my work number

that has voice mail so I won't miss a telephone call.

I gave him my home number as well. I called my primary

doctor and sent her a copy of the e-mail from Dr. R.

She is going to verify my surgeries and put something

in writing. That's all I know to do. When I get that

I will fax it, mail it and then wait some more. If

anyone has input I welcome it.
