[TMIC] : Today is my 7 year anniversary
Today is my 7 year anniversary that TM, (transverse myelitis) came into my life. I never would have imagined one morning I would wake up, my right foot be asleep and in less than 8 hours be paralyzed on the right side of my body from the waist down, changing my life forever. I have tried to welcome the challenges and have crossed many hurdles this spinal cord disease thrown at me. I would like to thank my family, friends and especially Brian for the love and support I have been given. Sometimes I fail to say Thank You as often as I should to everyone who has supported me. I would not be where I am today without all of you. As I do not see a “cure” for this disease in my life time, the journey will continue and life as I know it will “roll on” http://www.christopherreeve.org/site/c.mtKZKgMWKwG/b.6357597/k.3480/Living_Life_to_the_Fullest_with_TM.htm

Here's two websites for Social Security\Disability - http://www.ssa.gov/disability/index.htm - and - http://www.ultimatedisabilityguide.com/ On the first site, the form to fill out requests the last 15 years of employment BEFORE you became disabled. Also, check these websites: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Disinissues/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/offtopicplace/ They have a lot of answers for SSDI and LTD. Another site: http://www.disabilityhelpsite.com/ Here's one that outlines acceptable disabilities http://www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/AdultListings.htm Usually TM falls under the Neurological disability. Just remember… most initial requests for SS are denied. You must stay on top of them and keep applying. And make sure your physician writes a very detailed description of your condition and limitations. When I filled out my portion of the form, I included every single affected task – no matter how seemingly insignificant… bathing/showering (including temperature sensation loss in lower body), toileting (including chronic constipation due to medications and loss of bladder bowel muscle control), holding a hair dryer to dry my hair, walking up and down the stairs in my home, making meals, dusting/vacuuming, changing bed sheets, anything requiring manual dexterity/finger function – my fingers are now somewhat clawed, weak and not able to write or keyboard/mouse normally; I have difficulty pulling zippers; blowing my nose is next to impossible; laundry is difficult (pulling wet clothes out of washer), standing at sink to do dishes (difficulty holding wiping them). I have balance issues due to major weakness in left leg, I can no longer run, jump or even walk swiftly fatigue easily after any exertion and must usually lay down to recover. Take a couple days to make sure your list covers everything. Good luck with it.

I have an aide come once a week for two hours. I would like more time and more help as those two hours are spent grocery shopping, so I get no help around the house. But I can't afford more. The Home Health Care agency charges $25 an hour for her and I was fortunate to be granted a subsidy from United Way, so I only have to pay half. But that's still $25 a week additional for groceries. They had a nurse come every six months. This I never understood, as she either harassed my aide and made me lose part of the precious two hours as she asked inane questions, or she came and asked me to show her my care plan. The last time the nurse was here in the spring, she insulted and threatened me. I swore she would not enter my house again and I wrote a letter about what occurred, but decided against sending it. Two weeks ago the nurse called me, and in her usual rude and cavalier way,left a message telling me told me she would be over the next day. I called and said would not be available. Then i called the agency and said that I did not want anymore dealings with this person and could they please find someone else to send. The head of the agency said they only had one person to do this. I said i didn't understand why this had to be done... why was a nurse necessary? I reminded her that i had used their services for 3 years now, that i was very happy with my aide, but was not going to voluntarily submit myself to insult and distress. The head went on to try to persuade me/dissuade me by telling me that their one other nurse covered another territory. To which i had nothing to say. This was their requirement and it made no sense to me. This week she called me and left a message saying call her. I really dislike messages that don't have information and when i returned the call-- 90 minutes later, she was to be out of the office for the next two days. I was directed to the second in command who said that i was going to be reclassified. Reclassified? I said i have one person, once a week, for two hours who goes shopping. Well i would be reclassified so that a nurse wouldn't have to come. I said nothing. Since getting TM i find it hard to follow illogic and agree with it. But on further reflection I think they got money that i didn't pay for having a nurse attributed to my account and perhaps United Way picked up the tab, to the tune of $75/hour and they were able to continue with this subtle fraud until I refused to have the nurse come harass me again. But that's 3 years of unnecessary nonservice and easy money for that firm. It's a dirty shame. I'm glad i didn't cave on this. Akua --

RE: [TMIC] Facebook
Hi John, Since my TM struck at C7 and I have remained mobile, though still with adverse affects, I find the easiest way for others to understand is to tell them TM is like a semi-recoverable form of MS. Most everyone knows what MS is and how it affects the body. It at least gives them a reference point. Not everyone wants to hear all the individual little details, so I only add that my hands and leg were afflicted along with a loss of temperature sensation below the chest and the banding around the torso. That's enough to satisfy their curiosity, but not too much to lose them entirely.
