lComment to Catluv:--Hello dear One:---Its so good to see you here again but your post saddened me beyond measure. I know you have probably already done this but have you talked to your Doc about there possibly being a chemical inbalance which could be causing your depression? I only bring this up as I too have been in that dark valley and no matter what I did the clouds just got darker and my Doc tested me and put me on Paxil and within a week the clouds started lifing and the joy and hope slowly started to creep back into my thoughts so I know you have gone through so many docs telling you so many things and you have educated yourself so well but I just wanted to suggest it in case you missed it. You know I love you to the moon my sweet Kitty Girl and you know you can contact me about anything at anytime. Sincerely Sheila (sheshe030)

About Jessica Needs Help

Hi, My Name is Jessica and I am writing to the public of Aid Page Because I am in need of critical help as soon as I can get it. I recently went to the hospital because of pains I was having and the doctor told me I was in the developing stages of cancer. My heart is crushed as I am only 23 years old and have been trying to get on my feet and start my life as any other normal woman and I have been just barely making it. I now know I am going to have and already do have crazy medical bills I cannot pay & I do not have insurance. That was my next step in life but I just barely have enough money to get by right now. I am just writing in hopes to get some donations or anything of the sort to help me out with this future I did not hope for.
I really don't know how I am going to get the good help I need with my situation right now and it is an extreme amount of pain to worry about that with what I just found out.

Anyone willing to help even a small amount would be an extreme stress reliever. I am at my sister's using her computer I don't have one at home so if you are here to donate please feel free at anytime to email my sisters email at jodieebreere@yahoo.com as she will let me know any updates.

Thank you to all who have taken out the time to read this and thank you for all you'r considerations.

God Bless,

Jessica

As with any of the links I post, you will need to call the actual places and see if they still offer what they say they do.  Information changes all the time and I'm not sure how often they update it.

I don't even know where to start...  I'm a 41 year old female who was recently divorced after I discovered my husband had been having various affairs for the last 10 years.  I have no formal accredited education and finding work has been almost impossible with the economy in our area.  I currently work 6 days a week making less than minimum wage (working as an "independant contractor").  I have no health benefits of course.  I had a TIA last month and am supposed to be taking medications that I cannot afford, I cannot afford my doctors office visits either.  I lost my last contact lense a few months ago and am wearing glasses that are over 8 years old.  Needless to say, the eyeglasses are NOT effective and I wonder why I wear them.  I have been dealing with a very tight budget and eat mostly ramen noodles with no meat to save money.  I just found out that my rented room will no longer be available after sept 1.  My income is so little that I cannot save money for a security deposit.  I have looked at various rental properties and cannot afford any of them.  I have checked with various state and federal agencies but I am ineligible for any help because I do not have children living with me and I am not disabled.  Even though I am working to the point of exhaustion every day I still cannot survive.  I think there should be some agency that I have overlooked that could help me get new glasses, or maybe help me to be able to see a doctor.  I have worked hard my whole life and feel like I have nothing to show for it when I cannot even afford to go to the grocery store and buy food.  I'm so tired of ramen. If anyone has any helpful ideas, I would much appreciate them.  Thanks!

About hellogayl

1993 i had a severe car accident. two weeks in brandywine trauma due to numerous broken bones, all rib broke, burst fracture of disks in back.  Several months of going to doctors for help and narcotics.  Little did i know the back pain wasnt going to end if healed. a yr later i went to jefferson hosp, philadelphia to have a rod and screws placed onto my spinal cord to help brace my back. Of course it didn't stop the pain only increased the pain. I accepted that my life as it was is over. after months of doctors and getting meds i began to be tired all the time, lost my enthusiasm for all things i enjoyed and i cant even recall what its like to get excited about going on a trip or an outing of any kind.  I loved to garden, dance, i loved my job in computers, crafts were fun and i love animals.  During the years i became interested in loose gemstones as well as animal rescue. I love going to vegas also. When i realized i was no longer feeling any excited feeling about things i enjoy so much i felt as if i were stairing out of a window watching the world go by. thinking, what can i do so i feel again? anyone whose in pain 24/7 knows you must keep it to yourself or everyone you called friend, will disappear. so i had no way to vent the anger and sadness this pain raised inside of me emotionally. suicidal is were i ended up. i did go for help and antidepressants do work. But i still cant get excited or look forward to anything and i hate it. I dont have any friends because i cant go out and dance, etc. too tired, bored easily, just unhappy person all together and how can i change if i dont speak about it. speaking at groups is sensless their where i am they cant help me. if i become friends with them, heck i dont want to talk about the pain and sadness all day either so i stayed away from it. 

Then theres the doctors, its a catch 22.  a doctor wont give pain meds unless you have a relationship with them. i had a doctor who i liked alot, he retired. i went to a pain clinic at jeffeson hospital and my doctor was dr. lee. Lee would make me bring my meds in so he could count them each month because he didnt want me obusing them. so i did it. but it was demeening.  Then when he came into the room he had five doctors with him and i felt like a rat being looked at in a aquarium. they talk about me as if i wasnt there. When he did speak to me he took his anger out on me as if i were a family member and i am not.  I began going with my husband and then dr lee treated me like a person. if i went without my husband, i left in tears each time.  I finally was able to find a dr that was recomended by people with RSD reflex sympathetic dystrophy.  The first year he was ok, but all he did was right notes on me and give me scripts for pain. that took fifteen minutes and every minute cost me money. This doctor doesnt take insurance, check or cash and he isnt a member of any insurance plans so theres little to no reimbursement. Each visit used to be 150 dollars, that monthly. When i asked doc questions he always says there are not treatments nothing new developing and i felt hopeless. but it wasnt his fault so i tried to save my money for the visits and meds. since i had no perscription plan i charged my medication each month. after a yr the DEA came after me saying i was paying cash and reselling my oxycontins. i wasnt. a few month of there harrassment i was fine. now my doctor and his wife have somethng horribly wrong in there life they are both miserablle and take it out on me. prob other patients too but i never see that. one day i was an hour late, i called. but no one was in the office but me and them. they reimed me out for being late like a school child. threatened to have my license taken away if i spoke back and was disrespectful. yeah, she was going to tell the drivers license dept. that i have ceasurers and my license should be revoked.  a dam lie too. that pisses me off still but i had to sit there for four hours and hear each of them dump on me. saying i am not ccomplient, i am always late, i lie and cant be trusted, and so on. the second reason i couldnt and still can not say how i really feel and defend myself is the age old reason.................i will be there for a new script which i desperatly need or find some type of treatment to help me with this disease, which he wont ever do cause then i wont need him. if i dont need the dr. then he doesnt get $250 dollars monthly cash from me. yep now in 09 they bumped the fee from 150 to 250 just like that. Patients have no recourse or they will be told to find another doctor which is almost impossible when you need narcotics as rsd patients do.  IT scares me to death every day that i have to be put in a situation where this doctor can abuse me at will and i am helpless to defend myself, stick up for myself, peroid.  Just this week i was late for the first time in two yrs. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND ALL I COULD DO WAS TRY TO STOP THE TEARS FROM STREAMING DOWN MY FACE. I had to hear your always late and i cant run a business this way. you throw off my whole day cause everyone is pushed bk having to wait longer than normal.  truth: it was my fist time 2 yrs. but i couldnt defend myself, plus when i called to let the office know, i was told take my time do the best i can to get in to the office and doctor is running behind today anyway,  YOU THINK I COULD HAVE TOLD HIM IT WAS HIS OWN DAM FAULT NOT MINE AND HOW I KNEW THAT:?  listen to thisone.  i was in the waiting room one day, a girl and i were telling jokes and giggling. i'm a very outgoing person to start. but i was laughing so hard i had tears running down my face,her too.  TO my suprise, i go into the dr office, he has some women in there who observing. she wasnt a doctor some type of writer or something. well, i sit down and he starts yelling at me about how embaressing i am, how my laughing out in the waiting room was over th top not normal, he said he saw me as someone who was drunk and unable to control herself.  totally out of control.  WOW< WOW>  it was nothing like that i swear. but as usual, he had to show he was supieror to make himself appear supierior in front of this woman.  Again i wasnt allowed to speak if i did he became angrier and angrier.  Closer and closer to telling me get the hell out. no script. he would have said go thru withdraw, thats tough luck hellogayl. your toughluck. find another doctor. then ontop of that double charged me like he did last time when he and his wife reemed me out.  that time you know what i had to pay? $400 dollars for the office visit.

ANYONE, EVERYONE,  IF SOMEBODY CAN HELP ME.  IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS MAN AND HIS WIFE, PLEASE PLEASE. I BEG OF YOU...........TELL ME.  i am a fifty two yr old woman being spoken to by a doctor a few yrs younger and his wife is no better.  I can say there personalities seem to reveal they have a better than thou attitude anyway.  but no one should be threatened by having their medication pulled if they speak up for themself. no one of the medical board should be allowed to speak to patients as he does.  I am the paying customer too.  I pay to be beaten up monthy

Need Affordable Dental or Medical Benefits?

Hey everybody, hope everyone had a good night.  For those of your who didn't, I pray that a good nights rest will follow for you tonight.. :) 

I'm keeping this going on here as much as I can because I know there are a lot of ppl out there who could use benefits to help them be able to afford doctor and dental visits.  We have had lots of people singing on this month so far because of the incredible first month price that we have going.  If anyone out there is in a position where they can afford this, and need something more to help out with doctors, dentists, prescriptions, anything, please check out my site.  This can be a great blessing to so many people.

This month, anyone who is looking for Wonderful, Affordable Dental or Health Care benefits, NOW is the time to jump in and get them!  This month, ALL of our packages are ONLY $20 your first month.  Normally, they range anywhere from $14.95 with a $20.00 first month registration fee to $59.95 with a $30.00 first month registration fee.  So regardless, you would normally pay anywhere from $24.95 to $89.95 your FIRST month.  But no, for ANY of those packages, this month you will ONLY pay $20.00 and then starting next month, you will pay the normal package price, anywhere from $14.95/month to $59.95/month just according to which package you chose.  For any newcomers who hasn't seen one of my postings, these benefits are accepted at top name companies like Walmart, Pearle Vision,  Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, KMart, Target and the list just goes on and on with tons of privately owned practices also accepting these benefits.  If anyone would like to know more feel free to email me or go on and check out the site at:

Not interested? Maybe you know someone who may be..pass along the word and my email or website addey and help someone else!

Help with Dentist for Children

My name is Melissa. I have 2 lil boys. I'm asking for help or some info on where I can get help for my boys. We live paycheck to paycheck and just making ends meet is hard enough.    My oldest is 7 and he needs some Dental work done. We do have insurance thats pays for part. We will be left with about $500 for the work that needs to be done and it has to be paid up front. One of his teeth are now breaking and I really need to do something about it but don't have the money. I also have a son that is 4 and he starts school next year. Most of his teeth came in looking rotten. Some of them now are giving him problems and we have had them looked at but there is nothing I can get anyone to do unless I have money upfront. His all together after insurances is going to be about $1800. I can show proof of what the insurances company has sent me with these amounts. I have tried to call everywhere I can find and think of and no one knows where will help with dental.

PLEASE ANY HELP OR INFO WOULD BE GREAT!!

Thanks

I need help terribly

I am a mom of a little girl, and another on the way. I am in desperate need of a vehicle. My daughter is very late on her shots, and hasnt seen the doctor in 5 months. I have no one to help. My parents are stuck in a rut just like I am, so they cannot help me either. I have no way to get to the OB doctor, and I am stressing. This is my last resort. Hopefully there is a kind heart out there that knows of some resources, or could actually help me themselves.

Mother of 4 Needs a Helping Hand.

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Aidpage of BrokenRoad"

My daughter has had surgery for cysts on her ovaries. The doctors now feel that she needs a hysterectomy as her uterus is deteriorating. She is in constant pain. She is the single mother of 4 children. The father of her 20 month old son is a selfish man who is stalling their divorce and trying to gain sole custody of their son. Never has a mother loved her children more than my daughter. Because of the surgery she has already had, my daughter has missed a total of 3 weeks from work at the job she has held for 10 years. Because of court dates for her divorce she has no vacation time left. Her husband has failed at mediation and the courts have ordered that they have a psychiatric evaluation. Her car has been repo'd and she pays her lawyer what she can when she can so he will continue to represent her. She owes her attorney $800.00 towards his retainer. Her court ordered share of the evaluation will cost her $2000.00. She has gone back to work against doctor's orders so that she can try to earn as much as she can as long as she can. Her father is working 7 days a week, some days for 13 hours, to help her. Her sister is selling items to raise money and I do what I can to ease stress and pressure. If you could see your way clear to help this strong young lady, we all would be most appreciative. Thank you and God Bless.

PREGNANT - Need To See A Doctor - Any Suggenstions?

We recently found out we are pregnant and that our insurance only covers complicated pregnancy. I hav enot seen a doctor yet, because we already have some medical debt and I want ot see if there any help out here before make that debt even larger. I'm not sure who to contact for help or who's out there. If you know who I should speak with, please let me know.

Our family makes to much for Medicaid, not enough to pay for everything upfront. We live in Tx near the Dallas Fort Worth Area.

Thank You!

NEW BABY ON THE WAY, NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR & IN MEDICAL DEBT - need help

My family is in need of help right now. We're up to ours heads in medical debt, about $15,000. We also just found out that we have another little one on the way. My insurance doesn't cover maternity. We owe my daughter's doctor $721, and we can't take her to the doctor until we have that settled. we also still owe over $5000 from her birth. I have not been able to see a doctor about this pregnancy yet because we don't know how we are going to pay. We make to much for medicaid.

If anyone can help us out or has some advice, I will be more than happy to hear it. I really need to get to a doctor to see how far along I am and to have this pregnacy montered.

THANK YOU
