My youngest wasn't the only preemie I had , the daughter before her only weighed 3lb's . It's easy to forget that time in my life now since it has been so long ago ,lol And I am just as happy being your friend , I count myself truly blessed to have you and as friends . Now days friends are hard to come by ...

Hi a

You should apply for SSDI since you are disabled,, and it will be a long hard fight to get it but do NOT give up.. Get a good doc who can substantiate your claim and just expect that they will turn you down at least twice and it will take you around 2 years to get it,, and you may have to go before to judge to get it as I did. Dont give up tho, you paid into your ss and its there for you to use when you need it and it sounds like you need it now...

Thanks Sharon for sharing the info with me. I use to take magnesiummaleate a few years ago. I do have some form of arthritis but I haven'tbeen to a doctor in almost a year--I had changed doctors when I hadmoved and miss my old doctor. I haven't had health insurance for awhile. Do you have fluid in your hands and feet? I have it and alot ofpain in my hands-all I have to do is get up and start moving around,pick up even something small and it all starts-my knuckles swell up withfluid and my fingers get tight and sore-sometimes my hands hurt so muchthat they wake me up in the middle of the night. I have tried milkthistle and different things.I did treatments twice--with the first the doctor told me to stop after3 months because my viral load had started to go down and then reversed.a few years later when my vital load was just under 2 mil and I wasfeeling bad I started again but only 1 shot a week and 4 pills a day--itwas slow going but I got down to 700 after 10 months and then it went upto 1300 before I had even ended treatment. That was 2 years ago--lastdecember I was at 125,00.. I am not feeling well at all and can't work. I need to get some kind of assistance so after I go to the doctor I willapply for something. I am 53 years old and have had this for a verylong time-since the middle 70sSharon, are you in remission now? How are you doing?
