Mslonely,

One thing for certain as a newbie myself, I've already found massive amounts of support here and tons of information. Everyone is so willing to help and chat and help you over the bad days ( or months)

I to am like you, waiting on disibilty for my COPD and Depresson, and it's hard. And it adds to the feelings of "what do I do now". The financial strain of waiting and not knowing is depressing in itself. But we will make it thru this. I try everyday at least once to think if I get approved and all that back pay...I'm finally treating myself to at least a haircut. It's hard to look foward when everything now seems to be stacking up on you.

I to, suggest telling the doc that the meds aren't working. Don't wait for him to ask you if they are. If you don't tell him they aren't he will assume everything is fine. And if one med doesn't work there are many others that will react to your chemistry better. Call him if you have to...they can always call in a perscription to the pharmacy even on a holiday.

And You've come to the right place to find people that care! I've been reading constantly for the past several days and already feel welcome and like I've joined a huge family. It makes a huge difference for me to come here and I hope you will continue to do so.

Keep posting...getting answers, support and careing from an awesome bunch here! It helps more than even I realised.
