Amy, hopefully they will take that into consideration. Just tell them that, and there might actually be one level head there.  Good luck and try not to stress too much in the meantime. Hugs, Karen Shoot for the moon...if you miss it, reach out and grab a star.

I did some research, what I could find any way, on my judge. He doesn't deny a high amount so hopefully he's fair. He denies about a quarter. I'm not sure in the whole scheme of ALJ world if that's high or not, but I'd think no. I just hope I'm not in that quarter!!!!! My main two worries are the dr visits, and that they don't do a tender point test everytime I go. Hopefully I'll get into this new rheumy before I go up there. I know I'll see the psyc before then. I guess we'll just have to wait and see but boy, am I going to be freaking come November! That week or so before I'll be useless.

I am an RN with a current license since 1984....sheesh that's a long time....but that doesn't mean I am a DOCTOR
I dispense advice freely but you should take it with a grain of salt and do your homework and check with your doctor.
He gets paid more so he must know more. Right?
I am truly sorry your are reading my post, because it means you are here at MD Junction instead of out skydiving or deep sea treasure hunting or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.......
Empyema-
Fibeomyalgia
Hashimoto's
IBS=if you have to ask you don't want to know
severe osteo arthritis, spine/neck
DJD hips r knee some fingers
hypoglycemia, which is every bit annoying as hyper
otherwise not so serious if you pay attention

That's great that you have a date! Are you up to date on your treatment? My lawyer said the one thing my particular judge frowned upon was drug addicts, alcoholism and claimants that didn't follow up consistently with their drs for the claimed conditions and have a record of persistant treatment. I said ohh you tell me this as we are walking in and she said well I knew they didn't apply obviously the first two and the third since you live at the drs, more then with all they found everytime I went  I was nervous about my pain med but she said it was only one he looks at the people with many that don't have the dx to call for them or a history. I wouldn't worry too much just explain you haven't had the money to see them, you are in desperate need of insurance.  What confirmed dx are you going in there with? Huge hugs, Stacey I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.
"Just because we have the right to disagree with a person, does NOT give us the right to disrespect that person."
I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey |

I'm glad that you have a date and I totally understand the anxiety, believe me. Can't you go to doctor's under charity care or whatever your State provides? Also, if you really need to be seen and explaine to the office, they might wait for the money or do payment arrangements. I don't think you'll have a problem....just remind us when it gets closer!

Oh, I wanted to say also that, all of my docs knew that I was applying and wrote letters for me, one of them even testified by phone with my lawyer. So anything like that would be extremely helpful Connie

"This has been one of the most supportive places I have ever been. I found MDJ by mistaking looking for drs to help me with my many health issues and since that day over a year ago I have found a tight nit little family that keeps me going when the times are tough and offers me a place of retreat to share my successes and failures with others. I get to see the humor and seriousness of what I experience as well as the resources to learn about my health conditions. Thanks MDJ" (peasha)
