[Help] Due to my disease, I have lost another job.

The US does seem to have a talent for the stereotypical catch 22 situation sometimes. :(

Because I haven’t had insurance for more than 2 years, I haven’t been able to go to the doctor during that time frame. I’ve put in an application, but I’m unsure as to whether or not it will be approved. We’ll see, I guess.

Atom bombs around 400. Rockets to kill 20 000 at one time. Cluster bombs so nothing will grow the next 100 years 5000. Approximately to kill the Whole World 25 times over and not “ONE HEALTH SYSTEM” to cover an ordinary American Citizen.SHAME ON YOU …….BUSH-BUSH SR- AND THE OTHER ,I HAVE NEVER EVER TOUCHED TAHT GIRL -AND THE REST OF THE SUPERPOWER PRESIDENTS.Well i guess greed is good shows you were you can finish up. I think the Romans were there before you all you had to do look back in to history…

A lot of people in the US are completely against a socialistic health care system. They seem to be all about free market. In free market, there is no regulation, and people like me are left with nothing to do, but sit and wait for something to happen. If I could get some healthcare, I might be able to find a treatment that does help.

It is ridiculous to hear cases like this and peoples’ lives are put on hold because of greedy money mongers. Anon’s case is so easy to treat and with proper care she would be symptom free within 2 to 4 months.

Surely you must qualify for some?
Can you talk to legal aid and see if they can help you?

What I had to do is to avoid citrus fruits, tomatoes, coffee, alcohol, chocolate and I hope you don’t smoke either. In my case simple aspirin and Tylenol made the difference, sometimes I had to take antihistamine.

The clinical trials, I was already aware of as well. I actually have the paperwork on one of them already. :) We cover a lot of things like that in my support group. The last meeting was all about the $57 million that the NIH has allotted for IC research and the studies that are going on because of that. The ones near me that have to do with that have not started yet, though.

It’s the pain. It’s been so bad the past few days that vicodin doesn’t even help. I’m at a loss for what to do.

this helps with the burning

Technically, I wasn’t fired because of my disease. I was fired because I missed work, which was missed due to my disease. There isn’t anything I can do to fight it, really. I wish there was something I could do, but at this point, there isn’t. That’s kinda why I’m here. hehe Hoping someone has a suggestion on what I could do to get help.
