So I got my denial for disability today and I'm not handling it as well as I thought. Frankly I'm pissed!! Not so much because I got denied. I figured that - it was my first time applying. Think I'm so upset, because the doctors took too long to figure out what was up. I didn't get an official diagnoses until some 18 plus months after their qualifying date. So even an appeal won't do me any good. I'm just another static that falls through the cracks. I'm not really saying it's necessarily the docs fault - though I've had some real jerks!! Like I'm getting some sick twisted pleasure out of messing with every ones hearts - so I can be isolated, in pain, and unable to do much of anything...cause yeah I get sooo much out of it. What the heck!!!
I'm not usually a whiner... but this has me a lot more t-ed off then I thought. My husband's still trying to get us on Obamacare and who knows what that will actually cover. And once that's done getting back into the doc and hoping we can somehow afford the co-pays and such... I'm so tired of being trapped and feeling like I've got virtually no options. I'm very much the go-getter. I pull out of my depressed days/moments, cause I just can't give up. There has to be something I can do, something that will pay off in the long run. And I keep coming up short!!
Sorry for the rant!! I'm just so frustrated right now and need to get it off my chest!!
well don't give up No it isn't fair but appeal it!! and get a attorney what ever it takes Im on my last appeal and it could take up to a year to hear anything and I just pray this will work PLEASE DONT GIVE UP APPEAL IT. Love much Laugh often always Tina
I’m so sorry you got denied it’s so upsetting to here that !!! Not sure I understand how that can happen , if only they could spend one day in our shoes …
I’m hoping the best for you !!
don’t give up !!! That’s what they want you to do !!! Stay mad and fight back !!!
sometimes the squeeky wheel does get the grease !!!
Oh Butterflydragon, that is fine for you to rant/vent here. We understand. Where else could you vent and be accepted? But you can here. Oh the sheer frustration from doctors who just don't do their part to help us at the right time. By the time we finally get diagnosed we have been in pain and dealing with this chronic illness for YEARS!! But on a disability claim it sounds like we/you have only had this illness for a short time, so you should be able to get back to work.......not!
I am so sorry. I wish I could do more, but I can't.
Ranting is good for us. I used the disability digest that appears on the left side of this page at times and had a representive call me that day and a lawyer the next.
I know the frustrations, I think we all do, so we understand. Sometimes you just need to get it off your chest. Who better to talk to than us. Your Fibro Family.
I get really frustrated with my doctor as well. Don't really think he understands the pain and suffering we go through. But he is going to get an earful when I go for my "follow up" in a few weeks. Think I am going to bring my husband along so I don't chicken out.
So sorry you are going through all of this. Even with insurance I am paying out about $200 a month on medicines... and still suffering miserably. Just hang in there. Can't guarantee better days, but letting you know your not alone.
You deserve a good rant ! I don't blame you at all for your frustration. I hope this doesn't throw you into a flare ! Have you thought of calling an attorney? When my son applied we used an attorney and it was a real eye-opener. They think of tools to use that I never would have.
Thanks for all the support everyone!! It's so nice to have people I don't have to explain myself too! Think I'll check with my doc and see what he thinks about pursuing an attorney - think he might actually have one he normally works with, with his patients. Not thinking it'll really make anything happen - cause the medical evidence is documented too far past there qualifying date. Still I check with my doc and if he thinks we should get an attorney we'll do it...the worst they can do is still deny me... Hopefully in the next couple of years my husband career will take off and it won't matter anymore! =)
Hope you're all having better days with lower pain!! Many thanks! *Hugs*
