How many of you out there went thru this: your SSDI benefits did not qualify you for M'caid so you are going without any insurance and therefore no treatment?
This May I finally get Medicare. I will be able to resume treatment once again. i have been without for over 18 months and here in Georgia there is not much help for people in this situation.
I have had 4 back surgeries. My diagnosis is now failed back syndrome. I have grown scar tissue instead of bone at the fusion site. There is no way to get rid of the scar tissue except thru PT.
What I really am looking forward to is having anti-depressants again. I am in such a funk I do not even like to leave the house. I am glad i found this site it is comforting to know that I am not alone. After loosing my own home to foreclosure it is hard to face the world- I feel like a failure.
Gotta go-cannot sit to long here at the computer. I look forward to hearing from all of you and God bless.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
How in the world did you make it through 18 month of no meds?
I dont get it whats a PM? To treat chronic pain rite?
So now i am looking but i am hoping they will do it cause like i said they go by income. I am still awaiting to see if they will pay for that anterior/posterior surgery i had on march 28.
Good luck to you i know what your going through.
As for clinics- they do not dispense anything stronger than Motrin 800mg...at least in Atlanta that is the case. I even went to my congressman here for help...he had no answers for me.
Rich country yes, but they do not care about anyone but themselves, they especially do not care about us "NON" productive people. We are just a liability to the system.
