Hello,
I am 26 years old and I am having trouble getting dissability. My DX is Dysautonomia (multi-system: heart: POTS, pacemaker: dual chamber, syncope, stomach: dumping syndrome & psuedo blockage of small intestine, heat/cold intolerance) which was diagnosed 9 years ago at Mayo Clinic in MN. I also am DX with PCOS w/ insulin intolerance, small fiber neuropathy, "chronic fatigue", very low immune system, mild COPD, migraines, iritis (INNER eye inflammation- indicator for an autoimmune disease) and most recently tested positive for MS per a Lumbar Puncture. I filed my application for dissability (w/ an attorney on board) and was declined. We are on the appeal process but here in Missouri I was told I'll have to wait A YEAR!!!!!! I will be losing my cobra insurance soon and am really starting to panic. Does this sound right?! Is there anything I can do to get help sooner? Any advice would be amazing!!!
