How do you live without income?

[Guest guest]

My husband was so angry and stressed from cost of my doctor visits and

medications and me not being able to work that he left today. i dont

know if hes coming back or not but im very sad.

 

how do you live without income? im afraid to file for SSDI because i

have a doctor that says everyone with fibro should be working so i

doubt she would support me...and i have panic attacks with driving so

she is closed one that i can drive to.

 

i feel so alone and tired of all of this..everyday we get bills in the

mail..i dont know waht to do..i dont want to do this anymore..i dont

want to be sick anymore...

[Guest guest]

I haven't had a husband/partner for over 20 years... because of health issues.... I don't have a job either... I'm a malpractice survivor with around 20-25% of my heart function left... Go for your SSDI... you will be turned down the first time... just appeal and keep on appealing. Find a different doctor if you can....

Me...I don't have insurance either... so I had to stop going to the dr and have been off all my medications for almost a year now....

Good luck... feel free to email me privately just for someone to listen if you need!

Hugs, Randi

Check and see if you are using products with aspartame

(NutraSweet/Equal/E951,etc.) because they trigger fibromyalgia and

panic attacks. Go through your pantry and your drugs and your

vitamins and your chewing gum if you're using it. Take this to your

physician. If its aspartame, you can get well.

 

All my best,

YOU DON'T!

 

Ask your doctor to get you off the medications by weaning you off. Sounds like you are on antidepressants. Your imbalance is NUTRITIONAL. DETOX and get on the right track.

 

If you are not willing to do that then I don't have any advice. Your husband leaving is a WAKE UP call.

I am sorry that you are having the troubles you are having.

All I know about SSI is that if you feel you need to apply, then apply. You will

probably have to apply again and again because I

understand it is hard to receive SSI benefits.

 

I apologize for not being any real help.

Sending healing thoughts your way and a safe return of your husband as well,

SSI and SSDI are two different insurances. My wife has SSI. She applied twice and retained a lawyer and waited 3 years before she was awarded SSI and a back payment of about $5000. The reason it is so hard to get is because it has no work record supporting it. SSI is a give-away.

I have SSDI because I worked 40 years and then got disabled. I applied in July 2005 and started getting paid in Nov 2005 with Medicare and a drug plan thrown in to boot. All those "FICA" payments paid off apparently.

I can understand your frustration. Being sick, hurting, is not a

nice way to live. Your " doctor " and I use that term lightly, is so

wrong to tell you that people with fibro should be working.

Apparently, they have never had this disease. There is a way out

though so don't despair. No it is not some magical way. It will

take time but with information, you can help yourself. It will mean

searching for remedies that are not going to appeal to your doctor

because they do not realise how much these can help. Quite a number

of years ago I was on allergy shots twice a week. When I was in my

late 20's the doctor told me that my lungs were so bad that by the

time I was 30 I would be on oxygen and I would not live to see 40.

Ok so what were my options? I learned how to heal myself. I

started taking mega vitamins, detoxifying, eating healthier. No it

did not happen over night. It took time but I have passed the 40

mark by 23 years and am healthier that I was when under a doctors

care. I now have dogs, and a bird which would not have been

possible all those years ago. I also owne horses for a lot of years

which just being near someone that had been close to a horse would

have set off my allergies. So you see ... there is hope. It will

depend on whether you want this badly enough to go against everything

you have been taught......... doctors know..... They only know what

they learned in school. They do not have any real idea of what the

drugs they are telling you to take can do to you. The road ahead is

yours to travel. All the best to you. Edith

hi i am a social worker ( unaffiliated with teh government) i am very good at locating services for people and do it all the time. all i need is the state you live in , and your county. your age would be very helpful. i am very sure you're husband just needs some time to process this issue. we sometimes forget how our illnesses or issues effect those that we love. i would apply for ssdi and ssi, once you're denied and you will be, get a lawyer. most work on contingency. this could take years so i would suggest seeing if your welfare agency has any programs for sick folks, in my state they do. call a church or the welfare office for food pantry listings , and clothes etc. i would then make a very immediate and serious decision to locate alternative therapies for your health . i know this is

easier said tehn done when you're flat broke. maybe you could write a book about this experience and make some money doing that. good luck. andrea

Been in similar situation...only a little different.
