Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 i am so sorry to hear about everything you are going through. you have definately come to the right place for people to talk to . i hope you find the care and support you need in this group. evelynmadameladycat <madameladycat@...> wrote: I'm new here and I hope I can make some new friends that are in my situation. I'm married with 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren, all girls.I have SEVERE DEGENERATIVE DISK DISEASE, SPINAL STENOSIS, AND MOSTLY FIBROMYLGIA. I have allot of pain at times but am able to still go and come even if I have the pain. I have learned to live with it. I do have pain medication that I take but I only take it in the norning and not the rest of the day so that my body will not be intoerable to the medication. You get where you take so much that your body is accustomed to being pain free if there is such a word as painfree. I also have osteoarthritis in my knees and feet and back and just about all the places you can have it. I also have diabetes, take thyroid medication, had my gallbladder removed. But most of my pain comes from my back, fibromylgia, and my osteoarthritis.Right now I have been taking care of my mother who had surgery in july for a total knee relacement. I have been taking her to therapy, doctors appointments, grocery shopping, and any place she needs to go. This has slowed down now so now it is mostly grocery shopping,doctor visits, and any place she needs to go.I also sell on Ebay to keep me busy which I have not being able to do since Mom had her surgery. But I also have one brother and he is my only sibling so I do not have any more sisters or brothers and I'm having to watch him die from lou gericks disease. He is now in his last 6 months.There is no one I can really talk to about the pain that understands except my husband but I would like a group that I can be in and talk to others who are in the same boat as me.Hope to get to know allot of you.Janice/madameladycat.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi, , where have you been? This is the first time I can remember seeing an email from you, but my memory isn't that good. LOL, LOL. Pat K (another grandmother) Re: a good day Hi Pat, I'm not sure what my mom thinks of my parenting. She came over for a visit on Wednesday (left Thursday morning), and as usual played the role of a guest. When Mark or would have a meltdown, stim out of control, etc. she would sit there and say, "I don't know how you do it". That's as involved as she gets. Sara a good day Thanks for prayers; I was concerned about how I would get through this day with Ayden and Karac and no help, but God as usual met my needs and it was a good day. I decided to take my bathing suit to Karac's and after we took his siblings to camp, I asked him if he would like to return his house and swim instead of going to Grandmothers, and thankfully he said, "yes, swim". so we put on our bathing suits and swam and enjoyed hanging out at the pool while back home Granddaddy took care of Ayden who just ate, slept, and pooped. LOL, LOL. When Karac was ready we went to my house and rode bikes, went for a walk, and ate hamburgers for lunch. After lunch we watched a movie for a while and then he was ready to do academics with me; reading, spelling, writing, coloring, and computer. DIL said she was getting off at 4:00 and I could bring him home early. Thank you God. So at 3:00 I thought, "What can we do now?" The only thing I coud think of was a relaxing bubble bath. Yea, Karac agreed. That did it. He got finished in time to get dressed read his Edmark and GO HOME. Yea, Day over, Only one more day to go before summer school. Yea! Love and blessings, Pat K I have prayed for all of you that your day went well. Dell Days of Deals! June 15-24 - A New Deal Everyday!

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Dear , I am relatively new too. When I read your posting regarding your 7 year old grandson, it reminded me of my son who is six. His diagnosis is autism/speech impaired/sensory integration disorder. He is also very verbal and high functions. Social skills is a big part for children on the spectrum. Does he participate in a social skills class in school? Check out the website: www.teachtown.com for a full social skills program. Aside from that what I did on the social skills because you cannot expect much from the schools, is at the recommendation of the speech therapist )privately through medicaid) and the behavioral pediatrician is to enroll him in an extrcurricular activity, support him on the social skills interactions when he is at Mcdonalds, the park, the pool, wherever. And also through the ABA approach of therapy they can work greatly on the social skills as well. (Just a mom to who is six and on the spectrum, and also to my 21 year old daughter). So I am a mom, andclose to being a grandma, but hopefully not for a while yet. In a message dated 6/19/2009 6:05:23 P.M. Central Daylight Time, endofautism@... writes: Hi Pat,I'm new.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi,He's in a special day class k-1 soon to be in a 1-2. Don't know about the ABA because we do our own program with him both at home and at school. Because of his hyperlexia he is way above the others in class; however since he is also still on the hyper side and not able to reliably sit still and concentrate or follow directions, this is a good fit for him. They work on social skills and sensory but he does his own academics for his desk work.

She came over for a visit on Wednesday (left Thursday morning), and as usual played the role of a guest. When Mark or would have a meltdown, stim out of control, etc. she would sit there and say, "I don't know how you do it". That's as involved as she gets. Sara a good day Thanks for prayers; I was concerned about how I would get through this day with Ayden and Karac and no help, butGod as usual met my needs and it was a good day. I decided to take my bathing suit to Karac's and after we took his siblings to camp, I asked him if he would like to return his house and swim instead of going to Grandmothers, andthankfully he said, "yes, swim". so we put on our bathing suits and swam and enjoyed hanging out at the pool whileback home Granddaddy took care of Ayden who just ate, slept, and pooped. LOL, LOL.When Karac was ready we went to my house and rode bikes, went for a walk, and ate hamburgers for lunch. After lunchwe watched a movie for a while and then he was ready to do academics with me; reading, spelling, writing, coloring, and computer. DIL said she was getting off at 4:00 and I could bring him home early. Thank you God. So at 3:00 I thought, "What canwe do now?" The only thing I coud think of was a relaxing bubble bath. Yea, Karac agreed. That did it. He got finishedin time to get dressed read his Edmark and GO HOME. Yea, Day over, Only one more day to go before summer school. Yea!

Aside from that what I did on the social skills because you cannot expect much from the schools, is at the recommendation of the speech therapist )privately through medicaid) and the behavioral pediatrician is to enroll him in an extrcurricular activity, support him on the social skills interactions when he is at Mcdonalds, the park, the pool, wherever. And also through the ABA approach of therapy they can work greatly on the social skills as well. (Just a mom to who is six and on the spectrum, and also to my 21 year old daughter).

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi Deborah, I don't know about Kaiser?? Their are many insurances out there that provide " major " medical only coverages, they usually make you pay for office visits and a portion of things, but in the event of something major, you would have coverage. These usually come with a yearly deductible of like $5K. Look into that if need be, at least you will have major coverage. In my mind, you pay alot of insurance, so just paying for office visits and a few tests, you are probably better off for now. I pay alot too, and can barely keep it up, so I may have to check into major medical coverage only type plan. Sadly, things are not good, what can we do? I wish I had a better solution. Julee So Calif. ________________________________ From: Deborah Lattimore <deborah_Lattimore@...> achalasia Sent: Tue, December 7, 2010 12:18:50 PM Subject: Hi,  Hi, ,         It's good to hear about someone here who is self-employed and keeps their own health insurance. Mine is just under $30,000 right now and in January it's going up to about $34,500, and that's just for me. It's a group plan through the Authors' Guild. I can no longer afford my policy and my college let me go until summer school. I guess you'd call that a furlough. I call it unemployed. The Free Clinics do not handle this sort of problem. I really do not know what to do about it. I guess I could try to ignore it for a while. But my inclination is to keep calling around for advice on various insurance plans. The problem is that since I have no visible employment right now, it will be difficult to get any policy.         Do you know of anyone who has tried the lowest level of Kaiser's policies? It allows people with very little income start at one level and as they get more work/income, they advance up a sort of scale of service and costs.         I have had some disastrous medical treatments at Kaiser, years ago, but perhaps having SOMETHING is better than nothing. I'm just not sure.         I'm getting my home ready to sell. Then, perhaps, I'll be able to get something. I just don't know.         Any advice from anyone here is most welcome, believe me.         Thanks, Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi, ,         You don't know how glad I am to hear about somebody else who no longer has health insurance. I also love the responses from the lady in Canada. Yup, we don't have this one working in this country (medical care for people without insurance).         I have gone through my retirement, through all of my savings, and my stocks, etc. I had to put prescriptions on credit cards and my bill was running at about $1000.00 a month. I borrowed from a relative in order to pay my health insurance so I'll be covered until the end of March this year. That bill was $8000.00. I'm still paying off bills from several endoscopies (both upper and lower), path. tests, facility fees, anesthesia (which my insurance does not pay), and more. A lot more. I was self-employed and then my work disappeared. (I've been financially sound as a self-employed, single parent since 1989 and being broke has been dreadful, as dreadful as it must be for you, too.)          Having said this, I wanted to tell you that when I was at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, I stopped and asked the receptionist at the Gastro. Lab " what if I couldn't pay these bills " and she told me that the hospital has a charity attached to it which pays bills for urgent needs patients. That is the first time I've ever heard that. She also told me that just about every major hospital has this feature.           Maybe you could ask about this at your medical center. Worth a try? I know that when I no longer have health insurance, it's going to be scary. I've gone without it before, several years ago, and I had to go to the ER once because of severe head pain. I had no choice. The bills were incredible. (Thousands.) I have managed to pay back some of them but not all.           Hang onto this group, . Answers come up that are really fantastic. When I first joined, I had no idea what was going on with me except I could not swallow correctly. I looked up every website I could imagine and my former doctor told me that people just throw up sometimes. (Duh. Really stupid answer, Doc.) I kept at it, I found this group, I got answers. I am so much better now.           I am always on the look-out for cheap-o health insurance or free medical stuff or whatever might work. Something's gotta give. This is ridiculous. So, hang in!           All Best,               Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
