"I Want To Remain Selfsufficent"

Posted on 08/29/09, 07:22 pm

OK I'm my own best advocate.I have fibromyalgia.I still work 40 hour's A week but that's pertty much all I do.I'm one of those people who is one paycheck away from being homeless.I don't want to go on SSI because I live A low lifestyle already.No health care coverage.I have'nt seen A Dr for this in over 5 year's and I'm not on med's.I would love it if I could work from home but vocational rehab won't help me because I work 40 hour's A week.I want an entry level job I can do from home.I've been looking along time and I alway's check job offer's with my attorney general.Is there anyone out there that can help me?

  I cant help you with the job prospects- although- I still DO want to applaud you for working 40 hours a week! Thats incredible. Well done! I hope someone can come through for you.

I hope this will be a place that people can come together and support one another when dealing with pain or health challenges with a focus on HOW to be your own best advocate when it comes to your healthcare needs and how to get the respect of the medical community that you DESERVE. Would be great to have a mix of people that have learned what their "rights" are(I know this is up for debate)and have found ways to achieve what is in THEIR best interest for their health care and share wi
