me too - but i haven't had any problems converting to cobra. i guess because

my old job is paying the premiums and i pay them so there wasn't really any

interruption w/the ins. carrier.

Thanks Debbie,

I am going to have the same surgery that Shirley is having if all

goes well with my insurance. I was terminated from my job because I

used up my 6 month medical leave and now I am waiting for the

conversion to Cobra to take effect. I got a big shock today when my

refills on my meds could not be done cause I stopped having coverage

on 9-30-00. I sent my Cobra payment in 1 month before it was due and

they still have not converted it yet. I am calling them in am to

raise some heck and see why I am not covered yet. I hope and pray

this does not mess me up with the surgery in Minnesota.

Has anyone have experience with Cobra?.......

Hi melanie,

I've had that same experience. What I did each month is call about a week to

10 days to make sure they post the payment. I found they were not posting so

the payment would not drop in to the system.

Good luck !!

Dear ,

Happy to see you back!! We have been growing by leaps and bounds

lately. I don't know if that is good or bad...LOL..LOL:)

How have you been??

,

Lupus can cause pancreatitis either because of vasculitis or because of

inflamation in the stomach. According to my rheumie, if a problem is

discovered in your bile duct, it's not likely that pancreatitis is connected

to lupus. I really don't know if that's true - that's just what he told me.

try doing a search on lupus and pancreatitis (together). I had found some

good info, but didn't bookmark the sites.

I've been out of the loop for a while, but I wonder if anyone has info on a

connection between LUPUS and pancreatitis. Also i have severe TMJ problems.

Nic

Thanks

Thanks Liz,

I have good and bad days just like all the rest! I am dealing with

Cobra insurance now, I was terminated from my job for using all of my

6 month medical leave and now I am waiting for unemployment and have

also filed with an attorney for SSI. It will take time but worth it

if it pans out.
