"Just dx with pulmonary hypertension! " (janq)

MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF MEDICARE WILL PAY FOR A MEDAL WHEEL CHAIR RAMP?

I am not an xpert, but I believe the answer is no. That I believe is a function of Medicaid. If you discover I'm wrong, please make sure I know,

Best regards

Medicare is uber picky about what they will and won't cover in terms of "durable medical equipment". Your county/state medical aid might cover the costs. Otherwise check into your local senior health help line to ask of what's available in your area. Some states have funds set aside to help disabled people stay in the home. Or maybe a rotary, lions club will help with those costs if all else fails.
