On Mel's Mind, Monday, Dec 29, 2008

I am supposed to go to a Co-dependent meeting tonight, but quite frankly, I don't feel like going. I am tired -- I found out today that I don't qualify for disability even though I have the appropriate documentation from my doctor. It seems that since there is no definitive test for fibromyalgia that it doesn't qualify. I spoke to my doctor today after finding out from my insurance that it isn't something that they can continue paying disability for. My doctor explained in detail how that happens and suggested that I follow up with my psychiatrist. I am so stressed over this. I was paid through December 9, but won't receive anything beyond that. How scary is that for my family. My doctor even says that she has recorded on my records that I am unable to go back to work, that my illness isn't under control -- I am so frustrated.
