Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 I think we are very lucky to have found a Gastro doctor that takes care of all my husbands woes instead of going to several as it seems most people on this list have to do. I know others here in town that see many different doctors also. He has prescribed the antidepressants and pain pills ect. that he needs to make it through this Rebetron Combo treatment. Hope everyone has a nice day today. Winne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 AJ they took your child off SSI? Robbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Yes, because they said we as a family made too much money. Figure this one out they take my husbands income and divide it by 7, that is the number of people in this house and that portion becomes holly's income, and she supposedly still makes too much money, what a farce :-( AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Robbin, My daughter was taken off SSI in 96 because they said she was no longer disabled under the new law of the monetary part, but she does get disability medicaid. So I just gave up fighting for it. Ywellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Ywellen ok what happened for them to say she isnt ? i everyones telling me to sign her up if only for the medical benefits Robbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 AJ but does your child still get medical? even though shes not getting the money? i am curious on this one the medical bills is what adds up Robbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Of course money is always nice, but I don't think we really need SSI for the financial benefit, but we definitely need medical assistance. We have a program here through the health department called Children's Specialty Services, and even if you don't qualify for medicaid you can get this sometimes. Fortunately, we do qualify and we will be paying an annual fee (which is based on a sliding scale) of $90, and Kelsey will be seeing the same ped. rheumatologist only at another hospital, which happens to be closer anyway Also, this will cover her PT, but I'm not sure where it will be yet. So I think $90 a year is awesome to get such coverage! This will cover what our insurance does not. So searching for help really paid off, and we seem to be set now!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 I forgot to mention that the Children's Specialty Service program is only for the specialty clinics, such as rheumatology. Kelsey's regular pediatric visits won't be covered here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Robbin, Nothing happened for them to cut her off, but the law changed. I've tried since then but have been denied and her condition has gotten worse since then. Ywellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Robbin, My daughter gets the disability medicaid. If she wasn't then I'll be in trouble, because all my insurances dropped her. Ywellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Ywellen thats what i am afraid of losing the medical insurance with melissa i need to make sure i know all the back ups on the medical possibilities thats what costs Robbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Robbin, They just say that under the new law she no longer disabled and why they say that when thing are still getting worse I don't know. I have even meet with the SSI drs. they have and I guess this was their conclusion, so I just stopped trying. I'm now in the process of applying again.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Robbin, I lost my med. insurance for my daughter because they said she was toooo sick for their insurance, but I do get medicaid for her and that's through the S.S.I. office.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Ywellen ok thats good and at least you have that one of the counselors today said they were talking about melissa the other day and wondered if we had been seeing the shriners hospital staff i said no why? she said that the shriners had been to the school asking about any chronically ill children and said to tell us about them i told her thanks and if i needed it i would let her know this is a help if they went to all the schools Robbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2000 Report Share Posted October 9, 2000 Connie, Type II is adult onset diabetes, I believe. Yes, there is a correlation between any liver disease and diabetes. You are about the 3rd/4th person I've heard of being diag. lately with HCV & diabetes. Sometimes it does seem like a never-ending road.....glad we are al here for each other. We can walk it better hand-in-hand. Blessings and Love, gee " We can do no great things; only small things with great Love. " Mother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
