Re: Financial problems

,

I know from your posts that your finances are a train wreck. Many of us have been there.

I know that you feel there is absolutely no way that any of the situation can change--unless your sarcoidosis gets much worse, or you hit the lottery (but since you can't afford the ticket- it is an extreme longshot.)

, you really need to talk with a Disability Lawyer. You don't pay a dime upfront, they represent you and get you into the MD's that can diagnosis what is going on with you. If and when you win, the Lawyer then gets a percentage of your "award."

Because the lawyer isn't going to get paid unless and until you win-- they are highly motivated to make sure you do win.

--you are disabled. You have severe arthritis in your legs and feet. You have the depression that goes along with chronic illness, and the fact that you are no longer able to work. You have the sarcoidosis in your lungs. You have other health issues that make it so that you can't work, other than newspaper delivery that is too much for you to do.

I know it seems impossible to deal with all this. Your diseases, depression, a marriage that makes you miserable-- it all seems too much to handle. I know you've been turned down by the disability people in the past. , you need to reopen your request for disability. Call the local Social Security office, and get the paper work started. The sooner you start, the sooner the battle will be over.

, trust those of us who truly do care-- you can do this. You can and do deserve a life that offers you some form of personal contentment. Call an attorney (lawyer) that specializes in SSDI and go and talk to them, or they can often times come to you. You need to do this for yourself. I hope that you do.
