*First of all welcome to the group-ive been a bit behind on my emails but am

catching up slowly LOL. Anyways i am sorry that your husband is in so much

pain and then having to deal with the dr/insurance ect situation. I myself

do not have health insurance, lost it when i got hurt 5 yrs ago but have

found a dr willing to take lower payments and he helps me with my meds. I

know with my pain I cannot even think of going one day without meds. Alot of

people in situations like ours are accused of being drug addicts but that is

not the case. Granted there are those fools who try to get pain meds however

they can just so they can either take them or sell on streets. Because of

them people in REAL pain have a real hassel to deal with and its just not

right.\*

*Im glad your hubby has you to support him as many pain sufferes do not get

the support they need. Alot of us go through hell with dealing with family

and friends who just do not understand. Seems like we have more battles then

ever. But im glad you have eachother!!*

*As far as finding a dr ...what state are you in?? I have many resources and

websites saved to help group members and there is a dr search page.*

*Would he qualify for medicaid?? I know the qualifications are rediculous

and some people (like me) dont get it cause their income requirements are

very very low. Has he checked into filing for SSD benefits?? thats also an

option.*

*Id love to talk more with you about all of this. Id love to try to hel

ppoint you in right way or help however i can:) Get back to me and ill see

what i can find. You can also email me privately if youd like.*

*Know we are also here to vent to!!! We understand how frustrating this

situation can be!!! we're here for both of you!!!!!!*

*HUGS!!!*
