Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Hello, My name is . My mom has PLS. She started having symptoms in late 2000 and has progressed to where she cant walk, talk, or use either of her legs and her right arm. Her left arm she can barely raise to give us acknowledgement, on a good day. I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. My mom is currently in the hospital because of a bed sore that got so bad she has to have surgery on it. Her pain specialist says she is a good candidate for the baclofen pump but her insurance wont cover it. They covered the test but they wont cover the perm one for some reason. I'm still working on finding out why. A lawyer suggested that maybe it was rejected strictly on price ($15k+) and didnt reasearch weather or not they should cover it. She doesnt qualify for medical/medicare because my dad makes $60k+ a year because he works 7 days a week and we live in souther california where it is really expensive and if he didnt work the overtime we wouldnt be able to afford to live out here. He has a really good job at Solar Turbines. Does anyone know if there is a way around the fact that he makes so much money but she has the need for medical and possibly to get a monthly disability check would help out tremdeously. Has anyone heard of the Neuromove ( www . neuromove . com )? If so, does it help at all? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
