Hi Pam
I just wanted to let you know that im 34 and have two girls ages 4 and
5 i havent been able to work in over three years and have had several
abdominal surgeries leaving me with no stomach esophagus .lots of
resections of my small intestine about 8 feet have been removed. I have
worked very hard all of my life to get to wear i was and then i became
suddennly critically ill. They recently after 4 years diagnosed me with
crohns disease.I am on my social security disability. Im not going to
say it was easy it wasnt but i lost it all my house all my savings and
almost my life .Ive got the most important my girls and im fighting for
my life and now we must depend on my parents and it kills me im so
disabled and i suffer in pain at alevel 7-10 everyday and that is with
pain management. You must find out who is responsible for the ssd in
your town and apply unfortunately for me I am sole prvider and recieve
the maxium family allowance, but our gov(medicare) does not pay for my
disease and my meds and private health ins exceeds what i make a month.
It is your money you need it and earned it it takes a while for the
application to go through, but apply for it.I wish you luck. Kim
