Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 About a week ago there was a post from someone looking for a lyme lawyer. It has taken a while for me to be able to respond, b ut I'm wondering if anyone has ever had any luck with an attorney willing to take their case. I work for attorney's, but no one in my office does Med Mal. I have been told several times that I have a case since I was misdiagnosed for 4 1/2 years with MS. I spoke to an attorney who said " you might have a good case, but it will be very hard to prove. " This seems to be the case all around. Has anyone had better luck? As I said before I work for attorneys as a legal secretary and it is getting harder and harder to do my work. For instancce, my hands hurt so bad just typing this e-mail. I'm not looking to get rich, but just to be paid back for all that I have gone through and to help me afford to keep my house when I have to go out on disability in a couple of weeks due to treatment. I know I couldn't get money that quick, but would love to know if anyone has had any luck. Also, I'm starting IV in about 4 or 5 weeks. The doc says for about 6 months. From what I'm gathering from everyone here - I will not be cured in 6 months - right? Has anyone had 6 months of IV and then felt 100% better. I'd like to apply for SS disability, but they won't give it to you unless you'll be sick for 2 years. I'm assuming that I'll be sick FOREVER, but I'm hopeful that the ABX will at least make it a little more bearable. Is that right? Any advice is appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: This electronic mail transmission is for the use of the named individual or entity to which it is directed and may contain information that is privileged or confidential.

I went misdiagnosed for 17 years, saw over 30 Drs, had a silent heart attack and was inches away from a pacemaker, at 25ish. I was 'diagnosed' with everything from Lupus to EBV to 'you just want to be sick'. Seems that misdiagnosing Lyme isnt important, after all, its such an easy treatment and cure. <<<<<, extreme sarcasm people, we all know its not true *-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Your message has been edited. Please read the file entitled " Cleaning " Instructions found at /files/ for more information. Lyme Aid Owner ========== I have had lyme for 30yrs., only dx 5yrs ago for lyme/co-infections. I was dx 12 yrs ago w/ MS. I got approved for disablity w/ the MS dx (3yrs ago) , at the hearing their doc said I didn't have lyme but did have " MS " symptoms. My atty said I had one of the MS symptoms that was listed in their disablity book. So, that is how I got disablity. If they want to call it a apple but it is a orange. Let they do it. Get a attorney, I got declined the first time. If you have symptoms that are listed in the book that they go by, and your attorney knows what he is doing, you should get it. /Rodney <rod@...> wrote: > i tryed two lawyers and they said too hard to prove, i > am getting worse and there is nothing that i can do.my > illness became autoimmune,. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
