It's been about a year since I last visited the site (because my health has been halfway decent), but I'm having another flareup and find myself yet again in search of answers.
Quick history: 5 surgeries (3 laparascopics, 2 laparatomies)
I read about a low-residue diet in a patient testimonial and was curious what it entails? I also was curious if there's any links to specialists in the country? And last, but not least, I'm a poor single white girl with no health insurance (I'm an independent aircraft mechanic who subcontracts my services), so I'm flirting with the idea of applying for disability (since my work is getting to be very difficult) and was wondering how feasible it is for an ARD sufferer to receive disability? Are there any financial assistance programs available for people like me who desperately need treatment? Both parents are deceased, only child and no family, so trying to get on a relative's insurance is not an option.
Sounds like I've interrogated y'all pretty well...looking forward to any responses.
Hugs to all with sticky guts, J.J.
