@macjane that's the depression talking...don't listen...
@macjane, Please don't feel guilty about being depressed. You are entitled to your feelings. It may be that you are still mourning the past, when you weren't fighting disease. I am pretty sure that all of us have felt the same way at some point, and still do. It gets old trying to fight a tenacious disease. It absolutely wears you down. All we can do is hang in there and keep fighting. Don't give up. I am proof that one can get better to a point that you can enjoy life again. Remember, five years ago I was told to plan for a double lung transplant. You should see me now!
@tutti Idon't know if it goes by state ,but my husband did that and they made him wait 2 yrs.we live in louisiana I also know some that went to soc. sec. and fought it, and won. I would apply for it . Toni Ann
I do feel like I am in mourning. I miss not having to think about MAC every day. Being on the meds makes it harder to ignore. I had my post 6 months on meds CT yesterday and get results tomorrow. I have been panicking the last 2 weeks and am just a basket case. I am afraid he will tell me its not working. He is not very subtle or eases into stuff. Prayers would be welcome.
Sending you the white light and love
You are in my prayers. Jane Brown
