Denied

Got the letter from SSD in the mail a couple days ago and was denied. Now currently in the process of submitting the appeal. I wish these things could just get done for me without putting much effort into them :( Ughhh. There reasons were that based on the medical evidence they gathered i'm responding well to treatment. Lol. Really? My Enbrel hasn't been working as good and I had to switch to two other newer pills that make me feel like throwing up, not to mention the nausea i've been getting every sunday from MTX. But oh no i'm doing great right? Let's jumble in the side effects from medicines in combination with my joint's aching, yep i'm doing great. *rolls eyes*

Decision was made...

So I called Social Security Disability to check on the status of everything and the woman told me a decision was made today and that I will be receiving info in the mail in a few days. I'm really nervous now.. I know many people have to apply more then once before getting approved & that could mean getting an attorney. =/ I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I can't help it. Now I'm gonna be glued to the mailbox for the rest of the week. Gaahhhhh.

Social Security Update

I received in the mail today more updates about my social security disability claim. It's now been sent to medical evalution and they mailed me a "fatigue questionnaire" ... there is only so much explaining that can be done about "fatigue" It consisted of about 10 question that ranged from daily activities to how many naps i take a day etc. I tried to be as detailed as possible when talking about how it effects me each day. I just hope I wrote enough for them. I mailed it out today. *crosses fingers* I'm glad it's coming along though, I know it's a long process.

Dealing with state disability is such a drag i've only received 1 check from them so far and it was only for august 21-26. So i'm still waiting on my next check that should be two weeks this time. I hope it comes soon. I get paid tomorrow but due to me not working so much my check is a dollar short of my car payment, thankfully it's not more then that. So i'm still able to pay it. God i'm so stressed! I was so tired today from working last night that I skipped classes today and went to work tonight because I just couldn't get out of bed this morning.

On a brighter note I called Humira to set up the patient support program and what not. I still don't have an appt set up with my rheumy yet because of my SLOW insurance ugh. && as of dec 1 i will officially be off my dad's insurance and on my own through work. It's going to be about 32 bucks each paycheck but at least I can continue my medications. My rheumy visits will spike up from 15 per visit to 55 freakin bucks. Ouch. Looks like i'll be seeing him as little as possible.

State Disability & Social Security

Well I applied for both State Disability & Social Security within this last week. I got all of it completed either online or by mail as of yesterday. I still need to do SSI though. I just hope it doesn't take forever to process and i'm expecting to have to re-apply for Soc Sec because it's what i've heard from others. Getting SSI will allow me to get health care coverage so I won't have to worry so much about that if I can get approved before December. So i'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one. The state Disability will allow me to work half of what I currently am & pay me the other half to equal what I'm currently making. I'm excited about this because I won't be as stressed having to work so much and i'm actually taking classes this semester for college. I am set to graduate in the Spring. This semester i'm taking Geography, Human Reproduction & Journalism. Then in the winter i'll knock out a math class or political science class then after that i'll take either or + 1 more math and i'll be done! I won't plan on going back to a school till i'm 24 and can file for financial aid.

I really want to move out of my house, the living situation is horrible. I have way to many family problems and I just don't feel safe being here. I might look to be moving in with a friend for awhile and then moving in with the bf later. I just can't handle it anymore here and under these conditions I know aren't good for my health.

I have work tonight 3pm -10:15pm i'm not really looking forward to it, i kinda just wanna lay around all day but I don't have a choice, & now i finally got my speeding ticket in the mail which is $356, =/ sucks so much. Well I think that covers updates for now!
