Guest guest Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi So good to hear from you. Sorry that I have not contacted you more but I am NOT doing so well I am going through some really tough times and mostly not up to sitting on the computer, kills my neck and muscles. I would love to try chiropractic again but my husband lost his job and we lost our medical insurance and can't afford to see a doctor or chiropractor. It's so hard when you have to go through this alone and not get any relief day after day, night after night, every minute of the day for all these years. It wears you out physically, mentally and emotionally. Most days I just want to give up. I have so many things to look forward to, one being that I am going to be a grandma, and my middle daughter is getting married. I am fearing these events because I am just not up to it. The wedding is in California and I am dreading what should be a very happy occasion and the baby will be born and live in Florida where my oldest daughter lives. I am so depressed over this and can't take this agony anymore. We are totally broke, bills piling up and we are this close to losing it all. I am scared to death and afriad I will never be able to get help or that this condition I have will ever get better or go away, especially now that I have no means of a medical intervention. However, I never responded to any treatments over the years when I was able to get treatments which perplexes me, why not response to treatment. I am so happy that your symptoms are easing up some and that going to the chiropractor has helped you.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Nanci, I work at the hospital and you need to go to the ER to have them give you something for pain. Be honest with the doc and tell him you are broke and can't buy meds and how you are feeling. Let the Social Worker that they have come in and talk to you. They can get you some help quicker than you will on your own. The hospital has to treat you. They received public funds and cannot turn anyone away. Just be honest with the doc. Let them work their magic. I know this was for but I could not help but answer also. Puddin ---- Nanci <wdomarew1@...> wrote: ============= Hi So good to hear from you.
