She has bipolar and chronic degentritive bone disease, so she's in massive pain 24/7 and randomly breaks her bones. (In the 1.5 years she's lived with us she's broken her rib and her leg just by doing normal everyday things, like walking.) Anyway, her pain med is $120 a month with the dicount she receives through the pharmacy for not having insurance.... She can't get her seroquil which is around $400 or so a month... So, just 2 pills pays for it.
Anyway, I hope you can get on Medicare because that will help you. Since I work, I'm not there just yet.

Thanks for the note - I sure will do that as morphine is far more expensive than the methadone I now have to take because I can't afford the morphine - it's over 300.00 a month - Jesus, ya know? It started out in the 30's and within six months it was 300.00. Same thing with my hydrocodone - it started at 15.00 and has now skyrocketed to 80 bucks.
It's just crazy.
I spent the day working on my claim. At least I sorted papers - let me be honest. I do have some questions and that's at least a start. And, I know some of the documents I have to review to be able to answer what the court will be looking at. It's amazing how quickly they want to disqualify a person. I am not the sort to ask for help, but they, the SSA, can't seem to understand that I wouldn't ask if I didn't need it.
If I get turned down --- I'm totally screwed. :
