Thanks, but if he can KEEP it, my husband now has a good paying job and we wouldn't qualify. For the 2 1/2 years he didn't have one I tried to get meds, but was too depressed to "work the system" right.
State Rehab sent me to one pdoc who was the scourge of the earth. He tried to make my answers fit in his little tiny boxes, declared I was obese, demanded I start an Atkins diet, tried to put me on Effexor when I have borderline high blood pressure, was angry I couldn't go to a regular doc because I had no insurance and didn't qualify for medicaid, and basically was a first class turkey just like the real stuffed one he had in his office.
I begged them to send me to someone else and they wouldn't. My case worker then either quit or was fired. Never found out which. My depression worsened and that was when I started trying to get into clinical trials. Then I failed that and it got worse again. It is a BIT better on Omegabrite fish oil, but I am still plenty depressed.
