...Social Security and update

[Guest guest]

Hi ya'll....

Well I soent most of Friday at the University of Michigan, had a echo

on my heart done and a spiral CT scan with Dye. They told me I

couldnt take my metformin for my diabeties for 48 hours, then to

call my dr firdt and get a blood test to make sure dye is out of my

kidneys . In the meantime, my sugar is creeping up, was 366, I'm

still takinf Actos and Glipizide so that helps some. I go back next

Friday for a full Pulminary Function test and then see the dr. I'm

not sure what else he can tell me, except maybe about the bleeding in

my lungs.

Now, as for Social Security, has anyone here gotten it for haveing

IPF? Or has anyone been turned down, I applied and have my hearing

August 29th, only thing SS asked my atty for was proof that I was

terminal, which was easy to get. Also, one more thing, I was on 40mg

of Presinone, then they weaned me to 30, now down to 20, I'm having a

little more chest pain, is that normal comming down from steroids?

Anyway, thats all for now,

Love and prayers to you all......
