Ot need advice-posted in wrong forum
Hi,
Cool new look for the site!
If any of you don't remember me I have posted a few times about my situation with being on disability and medicaid. I posted that i was recently told my the Practice Manager at the pain clinic I go to that because Medicaid "pays for nothing" I will not be getting the proper treatment that I need to be well.
This to me is unacceptable and unethical. This has really been bothering me and I feel I need to step up and do something. I had to stay home today due to pain so I thought I would do some research. First of all I began working at my part time job in 2002. I immediately lost my SSI which I figured was fair since I would be working. I have however recently printed out the 2008 red book from Social Security for disabled working people and there are cases when people work and have SSD and SSI. I want to find out if I was dropped unfairly. I'm sure I need a lawyer but can't afford one So I am trying to do as much on my own as I can.
I am also trying to obtain as many of my medical records as I can for as far back as I can. I would like to prove that I have attempted to find help for my pain and depression for almost 20 years. It is true that our health care system is in a shambles but I do not think this should allow doctors and other professionals to neglect and outright ignore patient health issues. My records would show that I have been passed off from doctor to doctor.
In short this is the deal: I am on disability (which is not enough to get by) I have to work and can only work part time. My disability is getting worse due to lack of proper treatment. I can barely work anymore.
I asking everyone on here to chime in and give me you thoughts, ideas, etc as to where I should start.
I have also posted this on a fibromyalgia forum I belong to. just trying to get as many ideas as I can.
Thanks

crazy idea.
I'm wondering if one can subpeona photographs? I know it sounds crazy, but I don't have anyphotos of myself from befor I was about 18. It would help me get some sense of self. Even though I was horribly ugly and teased ruthlessly, I'm distanced from it enough that I actually need to see photos of myself from when I was younger, to give me a sense of self. Yes, my issues are screwy. Contacting my parents is not an option. i once tried repeatedly calling them for medical records and they did not respond. When a friend of mine drove to theor home without my permission and simply knocked on the door (which they did not answer) they called the police on him. Even a few of my cousins called and left messsages saying I had a condition and needed the information and they still didn't give a damn- they never responded.
Please Pray - I’m Scared!!
Our Family Court Judge yesterday ordered supervised visits to continue, even after I filed that my husband has looked intoxicated/high at times, not knowing if it's his pills (prescribed) making him that way, abusing them, or other drugs. I stopped visits back on 8-3-08, when he didn't produce a copy of a drug test he said his Dr. surprisingly gave him. When I asked him about the test, he said it was good.
I asked if I could see it because I questioned his sobriety. He said yes he would show it to me, but never did show up with it. I gave him two weeks to show me. So I stopped visits.
Today he showed up in court with copies of some tests One looked like a drug store test. I saw the title said One Step Drug Test. I was shocked. I looked at my lawyer and said "this isn't a drug test!" He said "no it isn't." He had written 8-3 on it. The other one I don't know what it was, couldn't read it, but again it wasn't a Dr ordered lab test. Neither one was a lab, ordered by a Dr., with his name on it...nothing.
So we go back to court on Oct 27, while his medical records are checked. In the mean time, I have to supervise visits on Saturday, and I have to find someone to be here when he arrives to be a witness if he looks intoxicated/high or not. I actually feel like I need someone with me to supervise the visit. I don't trust him. I'm scared he's going to do something to hurt me, or son. I believe he would hurt me before he would our son. But now I have to be extra protective of us both. I was always worried about son, but now I'm worried about him hurting me after the dirty things he has done, the lies he's told...etc.
He doesn't like that I took him to court last year, I got custody of our son. He doesn't like that he has to have supervised visits. He doesn't like paying child support. I'm afraid he is going to hurt me, or lie on me, I think he's on a vengence mode, he's not the kind that would learn his lesson, and stay sober to see his son more.
Please pray that I can have someone here today, Saturday at 4:00pm when he arrives. Please God help, because I don't know who to ask.
There is also a Wed. visit, another guy supervises that visit, but he's only showed up 6 times since Dec. So I supervised those visits he didn't show up to. I was surprised today when the judge asked him again if he could supervise the Wed. visits. We'll see if he shows up.
I need all of your faithful prayers. These are scary trials I don't like, but I will remain honest, truthful, and steadfast.
Blessings,

Day 8, and stuff..
Well, today is almost over.. yesterday was my week one, since the infamous ER trip. I ended up getting my medical records (seeing as how I had no memory of anything, and WANT one), and the initial BAC of .45 was then changed to .55. I shouldn't be here, and I am. I still have a mark where my IV was... it's kinda silly but I wish it wouldn't go away.. a reminder of how dark it gets.
On a lighter note.. I find that I've replaced my "down" time usually spent drinking, with going to the gym. Not an unhealthy amount like I did at first, but just kinda got into an after work routine that calms me, and recharges my brain after a hard day of work. I know there's a lot to be said about replacing addictions, but for now, it's what I do, and I feel better and stronger than I have in many.. too many years.
Kind of funny.. I was at the gym today.. and Black Dahlia by Hollywood Undead came on my MP3 as I was lifting some weights, and it's this really emo-yelling song clearly about a breakup, and I started framing the words in my head as if the guy (and myself) were yelling at alcohol.. holy smokes my arms are going to hate me tomorrow lol
Just blabbin, I hope you are all feeling well and loving yourselves as much as possible. I'm not a very spiritual person... but considering what I've been through in the past 9 days, I feel lucky, if not blessed to be here to type this.
