You need to contact this person soon. Just let her know that with a

Hi Mindy,
I am not sure if I did the same as you or not, but looking back I very
well?may have.? I know that I got TM when I was working, and I had a big
problem talking to people after that.? As much as many tried, both co-worker
friends and even some family members, I just couldn't discus
We've been talking how this disease has affected our friendships but
only how others have treated us because of this disease.
I need to make apologies to a lovely person who extended the hand of
friendship (during that early period of the disease) to me and in my
pain, anger and confusion I
The reason that we have to fight the insurance companies to get approval on
procedures is that there are people that are given the responsibility of trying
to deny as much of these as possible, sitting in a cubicle in the insurance
company offices.? My daughter in-law just finished a course in M
Well put, Lori!! I, too, am on Medicare, in fact when I was diagnosed with TM,
I had
been on Social Security Disability for 2 years and on Medicare 1 month.

and my secondary insurance (which is state run) paid the many thousands dollars
that my healthcare cost. In the last 13 years
What we all need to do is write our Congress people AND urge family & friends
to write to get Health Care Refom, especially a Public Option, done now and not

Yes, it seems many of us have to fight to get our private insurances to pay
up!? We had Blue Cross, (a very good policy, I might add), when Terry was first
DX'd with TM.? They immediately refused all payment, fought me because any
treatment was in their opinion, "experimental".? ie:? Plasmaphere
but ALL insurance companies - they will take your money but if they
have to pay out it is a battle royale and then they drop you whether
they pay or not just for filing a claim!
While in rehab for TM the pipes burst in my home. Insurance fought
me-- saying I was non resident.

If you plan to apply for SSDI, probably should do so ASAP.
In looking up articles by David Sirota, I found the following informative and
totally agree with the article.

The insurance lobbiest are a problem BUT the insurance companies are paying out
millions to run scare ads AGAINST a public health plan! That really upsets me
because too many people believe those ads.

Regina, interesting that you are asking the question of single payer health
care. Are you on Medicare? Do you or your family have VA coverage?
If in doubt of Congress getting lobby money from Insurance Co., here's an

What do you think of "Single Payer", or "Public Insurance Option" or anything

iTunes should have copies for .99$
Look for "Do it Ac-cappella" (sp?), a Spike Jones film for TV made in the
1980's or 1990's. I have the whole music CD, hard copy!!, purchased in a
"Record Store."
I know that dates me. In Fact, I still have my 300 CD changer- 10 x 18 x 24
inches- completely
I actually purchased "looking for an echo" on line (I think I paid like
$3 for a used version)...anyway if you like dowop music and a pretty
good story i reccomend this movie (it stars Armande Assante).
