I have severe chronic pain.

I have been to all kinds of doctors and had all kinds of tests. The only doctors I can find that are willing to make any kind of effort to help me are the ones that you would have to be someone like Donald Trump to afford. I have no job and no insurance. Does anyone know where I might go to get some help that it doesn’t require me to sign my life over?

It does sometimes. There have been several times I have had to leave work and go to the hospital. I have tried to get disability but they said I don’t qualify. I have applied twice and even went to see an attorney while I was working. The attorney wanted way to much money, and of course the government didn’t want to help. I just don’t know where to go or what to do anymore.

It shows you are in US, I wish I could help I really do but I don’t know anything about how your medical needs are met, al I know is you have to pay for them and get insurance etc but other than that I have no idea. I am sorry you are in pain, and I really wish you will find the help you need and soon, goodluck :)

Dear Living in Misery,
I do not know your symptoms but there are many conditions that cause chronic pain. Start with your health department or local physicians office for information about clinics that take a sliding scale.
A disability attorney should never ask for money up front. They are paid out of the back disability should you get it. You need a diagnosis in order to apply for disability and a Dr’s letter will help.
You apply first through Social Security.
I know what it is like to be ill and not know what is wrong and have no money. Chronic pain is devasting to your life. Check in surrounding towns if you cannot find a clinic near you. The key is to identify the condition so you can treat it appropriately. Hang on. Keep looking for a clinic or Dr who will see you. Best Wishes.

I went through a similar problem with getting turned down twice from social security for permanent disiability. I finally went to an attorney who quite easily got me my well deserved disability and back pay. I recieved well over $10,000. after my attorney got his $2500. That is the highest they are allowed to recieve on a ssdi claim. Get an attorney! That is the only way anyone will ever recieve their benefits.
Hang in there and try my advice {it’s golden}

hi have you been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? I have it, over 10 years now. Stress is a big factor, so is your diet, believe it. seriously, cut out sodas, and beef and pork from your diet. I went from taking vicodin and morphene pills to motrin, it will take some time. also there is a drink kombucha, it helps with the pain, if you are in a stressful environment get out of it. you will feel better. if I think of other stuff I will let you know

ALSUP can help you get disability status without exorbitant legal fees. I have learned to pray through chronic lower back pain in such a way that it either decreases or goes away within seconds. My research continues and will hopefully publish my findings.

I have also heard of another product that is suppose to be very beneficial besides Immunocal for things like arthritis and fibromyalgia. I use this product for my two children who suffer greatly from migraines and severe allergies. Used together, Immunocal and Cherry Concentrate are helping. They run rather expensive, but I know that they are backed by the science to proof their health benefits. Cherry concentrate is like 37.00 and Immunocal is like $90. They are well worth every penney. What a relief to find help. For any auto-immune diseases, these can be helpful. They are 100% organic.

You can purchase them at www.immunotec.com/naturallyhealthyliving
