Finally some good news!

I am pretty excited right now! This afternoon I went to my mailbox to check my mail and found that Social Security finally has scheduled my hearing before the judge. It is for November 17th and even though I have been waiting for this a long time I have to admit that I am a little nervous about it. This is it. I either win my case or I get rejected for disability once again. I am confident that I will win, but, you never know how these things are going to go. I really just don't have much faith in our government right now. I couldn't believe that I had initially lost my case anyway since this is a really wicked disease I am living with. But, that is exactly what happened. My attorney told me she expects that we will win with no problems. Is that just lawyer talk or what? I don't know, but, I hope that she presents my case well and we end up winning. I guess she wants to get paid and will only make her money if I win. Looking back and thinking of how much I have struggled finacially and physically I am glad that at least I will know one way or another.......

Feeling sick lately

I haven't been feeling too well lately and I am trying to figure out the cause of it. I was put on several new medications a couple of weeks ago and have just felt crappy ever since. I get nauseated for hours at a time and that has to be the worst feeling in the world!

Some relief

Since I last posted I have been to the pain doctor and she prescribed some pain meds and physical therapy for me. I also went to see the doctor who specializes in treating cholesterol disorders. I really learned a lot about the foods that turn into cholesterol. He put me on some medication to help bring my cholesterol level down. Both of these new doctor's of mine seem to be really nice and down to earth. The one thing I can't stand is a doctor who doesn't listen to anything you say. So hopefully I am on my way toward better health. As long as I am not in a lot of pain I can deal with it!
