Oh thank you so much, tremendously, thank you!! I've had surgery to diagnose and, I had hoped, cure me. Surgery is the only way to diagnose endometriosis and the surgical report documents deep implants and involvement with multiple organs, so I was astonished that I was denied.
I have no doctor and no insurance and the gyno who diagnosed me was quite horrible to me after I didn't show any improvement following surgery and instead got worse, then refused to see me for anything other than an injection of a cancer-fighting drug, so that she could open me up and remove the tumor on my uterus. I really am glad that the cancer isn't diagnosed, other by sight. She was positive it was a cancerous tumor, so much so that she would not even biopsy it when she was in me removing the implants and adhesions for fear of spreading it and making it worse. Honestly, I don't even know that endo is the problem, but my symptoms are all the same as it. Maybe everything she removed from me that day was cancerous tissue, but we'll never know cuz she didn't have it biopsied, which every other doctor I've spoken to over the course of this nightmare says is just unheard of unless the presence of cancer cannot be mistaken.
I'm worried that my choice to treat my illness naturally is hurting my chances of disability as well. That med section on the form is blank. I have a restricted diet and use superfoods and vitamins to keep myself as well as I am. I was using the VIBE machine regularly, but can no longer afford to. Have you known of such a lifestyle to prevent one from getting approved?
Well, thanks again for all the help. I'm gonna look into getting representation. I'll let you know how it goes :] Take care<3
Love and Light,
Diemyn
I can't comment on the medical aspects but as for being denied for SSI or SSDI I've represented people at Social Security hearings and had 51 winning cases over the last 5 years and I currently volunteer at a non profit. Unfortunately I don't live in your state so I can't represent you but indepedent living centers can provide free non legal representation. Locate the one in your area and give them a call and see what they can do for you. You need strong documentation from your doctor and you may have to keep appealing but its worth it. Contact me if you need more information:
