I have been sent from doctor to doctor for aray of systoms and illnesses. I finally started doing some of my own research. I was not raised by my bio-mom, so I found her and to found out the medical history. The usual stuff, except for Lupus. I never heard of it. I have been reading about it. So many things seem to make sense. I have yet another doctor's appointment tomorrow ( a new doctor I have not seen). I have been at the same library in Pearl, MS for 4years. Sick off and on, but, since last year about Nov. I have been real bad, even worse since Feb. 08 I am now down to the last 40 hrs of the family medical leave to secure my job. I told my boss' my theory of Lupus. You know that roll of the eyes look and she just doesn't want to work look. I'm sick of; it is all in your head, being a hydrocondric(spelling), lazy, over reacting, just go to the ER and get a shot, (but when you go, they think all you are is a drug seeking adict)
My husband is a really good guy, married 30 years, but even he has limits, drs, er rooms, hospitals, no money for bills, drugs for breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime. He says, "no wonder I'm sick!"

So, how does this work? You just get on and go where to actually post to talk to everyone and how? I have never done this before.

Thanks,
mamaj

Thanks for the reply.

I went to yet another doctor yesterday. My husband was not going to go with me at first, but I really did not feel up to driving. So he came along, and instead of staying in the waiting room came back with me. While I made the list of medicines and sugeries and doctors seen , etc; the doctors cuts me off mid-sentence and says,"So Danny, when she gets this way, what happen next?" I wanted to scream "HELLO!!

But, in the end he said I needed a Neurologist. I said I had been trying to get in to see one and would he help. NO. Get your records and hand deliver them. I asked him if he had heard of Lupus and he said he did not think that was my problem.

My husband went back to work, I came home took 2 lorocet which barely makes a dent and laid down.

I am going to lose my job which I love. I was told they will make the decesion for me if I don't make the decesion for myself. I don't know if it is better to let them fire me or just resign; either way I lose my medical insurance; no insurance, no medicine.

I need to get ready for work.

MamaJ...

City or state library? Apply for disability insurance through worker's compersation, LNI....disablity. I know very little about compensation but I do believe if a job aggravates a pre-condition you are eligible for worker's comp.

I googled and this is what I found....maybe it will help financially. A start to help you feel you have some control over what you can get financially.

Heath topic, questions, related to doctors, medicine.....see you in the our topics listed in the forum index...

Keep looking for your wellness,

Thanks for the links.

My husband is convinced I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
I saw my GP yesterday and told him we need to do something before I lose my insurance and ask for a pain shot. He had blood and urine labs done; and wrote me an excuse for work that I may not be able to handle an 8 hour day. My boss is still a "B----". I called her and told her I would be at work this morning. Which I better go start getting ready; it takes longer these days.
