Tvryan - I do feel, and know, a bit of what you are feeling as our body betrays the faith and positive thinking, and the exersize we gave it and the good food we fed it.

And then some lardass lays around and eats junk food every day and gets through life like a breeze and we feel compelled to ask "why ME"?"

We have to ignore the unfairness and try to be as well as possible, but it is so difficult to keep shoving that rock up the hill sometimes.

I am the problem Rh too - a cousin of mine was born the same week, we had exactly the same symptoms at birth, but that was in the 1950s [before the breakthrough diagnostic test and treatments in utero.

He DIED, I lived.

I should be gratefull I guess... but I attempted suicide recently and that is not being grateful for this gift of life. I am so emotionally burnt out... its so hard to keep going.

Sorry to say so, but the medical industry is not responding to the calls for help on this Rh issue.

The guidelines for disability status are probably a bit different where you are.
Here, in BC Canada I didn't have to have a definite diagnosis, it was enough that I had a Doctor statement outlining my limitations.

The degree OF Limitation they look for is along the lines of UNABLE TO DO THE CHORES OF DAILY LIVING.

and then when accepted they say we are expected to find some paid work to do... they allow us to earn $500 mo without docking our dole.

I was turned down on my first application = I hear that that almost everybody is refused on their first application for disability income and status ^so dont give up after one refusal.... I hope they don't make you do that.



Good luck.
