I need help! How can I help myself financially w/ a condition that hinders my life? (pls read detail)?

Q: I need to know how I can help myself financially because I have a condition that has prevented me from working and being reliable. Condition: Since I was 14 (now 27) I have had mitral valve prolapse, which isn’t too serious but in my case its noticeable and is a trigger for a domino effect symptoms. Mitral valve is when a valve in my heart pumps backwards and for me I feel a very hard pounding and sometimes it pumps a bit faster than normal which makes my breath hard to catch. This always triggers a response of my adrenal gland. The doctors told me that the heart prolapse triggers my adrenal gland to over produce adrenaline. This makes me very dizzy to where its very hard to focus and I can barely walk. I have had this happen in a car before and the dizziness impairs me from driving. Usually all of this causes me to have a migraine and then I’m not well for hours and sometimes days. Doctors recently told me that I should work around this because there is no pill that will make it go away. I have had all sorts of misdiagnosed medicines through the years because doctors did not know exactly what it was at first. I had cardiologists have me on Inderol and other palpitation medications. I had neurologists put me on Zoloft and every kind of anxiety type medication which I was taken off of because it didn’t seem to be helping for years. The whole “spell” that I like to call it usually happens as soon as I open my eyes in the morning but can happen throughout the whole day. It always happens when anything changes in my body. If I’m sick with the flu/cold or menstruating it happens even more. Doctors say its triggered when anything is off in my body. We have tried eating as soon as I wake up, different sleep patters, different diet, exercise and been tested to see if its low blood sugar. One thing I think could be related is my spine. I have sculiosis (curvature of the spine) and my back seems to be out a lot. Back and neck pain. I would go to a chiropractor but I do not have the finances to do so. I am a very hard worker and have had experience as a personal assistant & sales & am currently a piano teacher with less than a handful of students. I like to think I am reliable because I want to work but my condition makes it impossible to get to work sometimes. This has caused a vicious cycle of me being the perfect worker until I have had too many sick days and I end up finding something else because it is unfair to my employer who needs someone to work. Luckily I have never been fired over it but it has definitely put hinderances on my life, goals, and finances. At the moment I have less than $10 & no proper clothing but my poor fiance is helping with food. My car payment is on hold and my parents are unable to help me in any way. I am in the process of trying to find a legit home job where I can make regular money like $200-300 a week. Its hard to find a legit home based job that you do not have to invest in. I just found out there are virtual assistants that work from home though. I am looking into it but even though I’m in Los Angeles its a hard position to come by. A couple of years ago I applied for disability and got rejected because I didn’t have recent pay stubs. A lot of my jobs were personal assistant jobs so I didn’t have record of work. I have record now but I’m unsure if I would qualify. The regulation I believe is that you need to report the disability as it happens, so since mine started so long ago I’m not sure I can be accepted because I have worked with my condition. My doctor records are from years ago so I’m not sure if I would have to have new ones. I do not have health insurance at this time. So I am asking what government programs, benefits would I qualify for? What should I do? If anyone has any thoughts, ideas, questions or comments please share them. I need help! Thank you for reading through this. Peace & energyAmy

A: Hi Amy. I am disabled also, with Rheumatoid Arthritis & Coronary Artery Disease. I just had a quadruple bypass two months ago. If you want to work from home, there is a site that lists prescreened jobs. I found this site through the government’s website for the disabled. It’s called Rat Race Rebellion. http://www.ratracerebellion.com/This is the link to the Social Security Administration’s Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool.http://connections.govbenefits.gov/ssa_en.portal;jsessionid=wNcyJ3pJBvJXKt7BjB5Lnk6YJ5xMHntGX1SVt71T3qXh3bNgLBLv!6937436?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=gbcc_page_ccquestionnaire&_nfls=falseI was approved the first time I applied for disability, however, I am much older than you. I used an attorney. I did not have to pay anything upfront. The firm took their fee out of my benefits upon approval. I used the law firm of Binder & Binder. They were wonderful & answered my many questions, regardless of how many times I called them during the process.http://www.binderandbinder.com/I wish you all the luck in the world. I can surely sympathize with your heart problems. God bless!

Leukemia – What happened? RIP JP 12/24/08?

Q: A family friend passed away today from Leukemia that was diagnosed yesterday night. He was being transferred somewhere else after the diagnosis but passed away on the way there. The details are still pulling together as this all just happened. I’d like to know if anyone has any idea what happened and why it was so rapid. To be honest, I don’t know too much about Leukemia or very many forms of Cancer.For the past three weeks he was saying that he’s been experiencing flu-like symptoms and also that his neck was swelling up. He went to the doctor twice within these past three weeks (second visit was last thursday, I believe) and both times they said it was the flu. He was here the other day, Monday, helping us with some remodeling and he frequently had to take breaks stating that he was feeling real dizzy and couldn’t focus. We called it a day soon after and that was the last time we saw him.We hadn’t seen him much lately but when we did you could definitely tell something was wrong (which was why we pressured him into going to the doctor). I mean, since when does the flu last three weeks?His job, before passing, was as an AC Technician and really he’s always been into those kind of laborious jobs. He’s also been taking Vikaden (and the like) for quite a while due to back pain that he constantly groaned about. Maybe this can shed some light on what he may have been exposed too – I don’t know.. So I’m stranded with no car at the moment and I’m finding myself a bit lost with what happened so I figured I’d seek some answers here. It was just really out of nowhere and no one even knew he had it. Not even himself till yesterday night.Doesn’t Leukemia take months upon months to progress (including symptoms present)?sorry if anything didn’t make sense or if my thoughts were scattered.thanks in advance

A: He had an acute leukemia, which is fast progressing. He probably had it for last few months, but NOT months and months. The type you are talking about taking a long time to progress is chronic. There are several different types of leukemia, with 4 more common types, 2 acute and 2 chronic. I know this wont make much sense to you, but my guess is his type was AML.http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/all_page?item_id=8459The bone marrow produces all of the blood cells when healthy. With leukemia, the marrow mass produces malformed or immature white blood cells, and nothing else. His white blood count, hemoglobin and platelet counts were probably non existent. The low hemoglobin is probably why he was feeling dizzy. He would have been massivly anemic. The iron in the blood is what carries oxygen to all the organs, so essentially, his brain was not getting enough oxygen. The non existent white blood count explains the flu symptoms, which very well may have been the flu… he just couldnt fight it off. It is possible that this infection is what killed him. His platelet count also should have been low. Was he bleeding easily, having a hard time stopping the bleeding? Nose bleeds? Excessive bleeding from small cuts? It is also possible that internal bleeding caused his death.I dont know if that helps you or not. I am sorry you have to deal with this right now.

Well Is it heart failure? … Defenseless 25 year old Doesnt want help, Just a case analysis if ur in the know?

Q: OMG if you make it through reading this whole thing Il be more shocked than if I’m alive in 200 years. Hi im 6ft 1 in, extremely thin and 25 year old male. This spring I willfully and abruptly gave up abusing bad drugs that were getting in the way of my life. I was put on Adderall (works great) this June and later Ativan which I seldom take for once severe but progressively diminishing “post addict w/d acute anxiety”. RIGHT WHEN I STARTED ADDERALL I quickly noticed that my heart has significant um Rhythm issues. Daily Palpitations of varying degrees, high resting rate, and blood pressure so erratic It can be as low as 86/67 and jump to 160/100 within just a few hours. The home monitor I have throws an “irregular heart rhythm” about 1 out of every 5 times I check. The palpatations and arrhythmias are physically noticeable, often but not always accompanying torso fatigue, and shortness of breath. Some skipped or irregular beats happen for just several seconds while others can form “episodes” lasting an hour or two. Conveniently none of this has been caught at the Hospital EKG and my CT brain scan came back clean to rule out stroke. I cant afford Holter monitoring. I don’t have much or any chest pain of a localized nature But sometimes momentary disturbance to my breathing pattern or rarely, shooting pains to my neck or down my left shoulder when my blood pressure is at its highest. . On days I do not take my adderall my heart will somewhat more stable, and the rate will drop, but still subject to irregular beats and circulation trouble/postural hypotension and low blood pressure will be awful, dropping to dangerously low levels when Im erect even if I choose to take caffeine or less often, smoke to compensate. One night this August in Arizona, I had an isolated 2 hour period of OBVIOUS ATRIAL FIRBILLATION. I fell asleep that way and since that particular irregularity has not resurfaced. The AF episode I suspect may have been triggered by combining marijuana with a normal dose of Tylenol Nightime Cold flu syrup and I now um avoid both. TO summarize, Ive experienced mostly isolated a large grab bag of scary symptoms randomly show or dont show like a “classroom attendance” by each particular “Arrhythmia session”. These sympoms include from most to least frequent: thumping in chest, Inability to catch breath lying OR standing, vague numbness on left side face/scalp/ or right foot/lower leg. Mild and short duration blood pooling in hands and feet comorbid SEVERE postural hypotension. Anxiety (less frequent now), On some occasions Il get a feeling of shortness of breath where I feel as though the air i breathe does not contain oxygen… AND when I went to the ER 3 months ago about this major problem i was diagnosed as having anxiety after minimal and not so comprehensive testing. I believed him, until the symptoms carried on and the only problem the Benzos would help was the worry itself. Il be progressing through my day happy and carefree and wont mind as my heart sets off a period of Disrhythimic heartbeat, then shortness of breath, fatigue and exhaustion. Il adapt and say “Oh well Im gonna die but thats okay” instead of a panic which might have ensued back in the summer, I simply slow my pace or take a breather or worse, il smoke a cigarette cuz for 8 years ive smoked like twice a month. Sometimes happy moments or excitement trigger an arrhythmia. Strangely, excersize seems to only IMPROVE the conditions as long as I dont do it while on adderall. ” So in essence the panic attacks might not be a panic attack. …. sometimes weakening my blood flow. Finally, the latest develoment that just has started occuring is that my vision and muscular coordination have become mildly compromised but this may or may not be due to ativan. Id be surprised if my heart held up to all my rough past only to be stamped out by a low dose therapeutic relatively less toxic amphetamine. Some have told me my body is still detoxing and the stimulation from the unfamiliar adderall creates elecrical circuit and other organic malfunction possibly related to arrhythmia, But its been a good 5 months now and I remain physically stagnant or possibly slowly deteriorating. Id like to bet giving up the adderall meds would help for sure but I cant do that at this time If I do, and ive tried, Il immediately be placed at risk for re-entering my old lifestyle and thats NOT what I need. So folks? im 25, cute and thin… But my body is sick as a raw pot roast you accidentally stuck in the cupboard instead of the fridge before heading away for the weekend. Now I know most of you will say I NEED TO GO SEE A DOCTOR and yes while that is ULTIMATELY the only way to CERTIFY a diagnois, Aside from an emergency its NOT AN OPTION for me at this time so I figure the best I can do is post these and get some intelligent insight and that way i can manage myself best until I CAN see a doctor. Finally Some history to factor in: I was given HIGH doses of ritali

A: better see a doctor
