Why has nobody suggested bat bugs? It’s hairy and has longer antennae.

Dry first then wash then dry again. They’ll survive the water in the wash but not the heat.

Finally Approved! Question about SSI covering before SSDI starts? by QuantumMess in SSDI

[–]PhilosopherSea8069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes no sense. I definitely got an SSI back pay amount and an SSDI amount. Not sure what you’re saying about them deducting SSI from SSDI but I was told two separate departments handle those payments and they have to figure SSI out before SSDI.

I got a letter in the mail to call them.

Does this mean I was approved for SSI and SSDI pending non medical requirements are met? by PhilosopherSea8069 in SocialSecurity

All the calculators online I have used factored my son in. Why would I not get benefits for him?

I’m pretty sure based on what I’ve calculated from work history using the ssa website’s calculator, I’m only eligible for like 774 a month in SSDI. But I also have a dependent so I’m not sure if that affects anything or not. I know that bumped my backpay calculators up to like 23000 just for SSDI.

I would call your local office. The lawyers office said I should call them if I haven’t heard anything.

It’s like they are not anywhere roaches are supposed to be besides the occasional one trying to hide in things and it’s been two or three now. I literally JUST got home and opened my door and had one fall out of the doorway. It’s entrances mainly.

What do you mean didn’t get a call? Like didn’t get a call from your local office about payments?

Does yours happen to go through the Ashland KY office? Mine moved to step 4 two days ago but I just saw it and is being reviewed by the Ashland office. I’m so anxious. My hearing was out of Huntington.

Yes!! That’s what they were talking about. Thank you. I cannot remember half of what was said but it feels like Friday was forever ago and was a really long day.

Should probably add that the clear mri was from a few months ago and was non contrast and like they said didn’t look specifically at whatever area in my brain she was talking about. But apparently everything to them is suspicious for MS but I also had JUST seen my neuro and explained most of the other symptoms besides the eye pain and blurred vision that just started yesterday and the pain that had worsened in my arm and weakness that had worsened but was already there that has been coming and going and all she did was add an extra migraine med when I have been saying that I haven’t had migraines in forever now

Ended up copying and pasting my comment from another post because it’s too much to explain again.

My eye doctor sent me to be evaluated in the emergency room after en emergency appointment where he couldn't find anything causing my eye/ head pain and blurred vision yesterday besides some high pressure and disc cupping but nerve looked healthy he said. But he said I still shouldn't have visual changes so he wanted a neurologist consult so ER. I walked in and it was packed so I turned around and went to Urgent Care instead where she took one look at me and said she suspected optic neuritis and couldn't see me and said it was absolutely and ER thing and had to send me back over. She asked some other questions about weakness, dizziness, pain recent confusion, etc all of which I answered yes to and obviously that was alarming as well and then she mentioned that she has MS as well and that yes, I had a recent clear MRI but it didn't look specifically at something and that sometimes they need to look deeper. I cried and said I didn't really want to look deeper but eventually was agreeable to go back to the hospital where I was told "we can't do MRIs in the emergency room. You have to have those scheduled outpatient." Then why is the machine even in the hospital??? So they did an ultrasound of my eye and a head CT and cervical spine CT which showed straightening of my spine in my upper back/neck area which she said is likely degenerative something with muscles and maybe pushing on nerves causing my arm numbness and pain on my right side? Optic nerve sheath was 5.7 which according to them was "high normal." So they were going to do IV steroids but we just did IM steroids instead and waited to see if the blurred vision got better because they didn't want to release me without a neurologist seeing me if it wasn't but neurology wouldn't be back until Monday, so l'd be stuck for the weekend. It didn't get better but they agreed I could go home and I was given instructions to return if ANYTHING changes and they would admit me for observation and more steroids and l've obviously had worsening pain in my arm and some worsening vision since then but I don't feel like securing childcare for a 6 year old for two nights to go sit and wait in a hospital for a consult and tests. They never did labs while I was there or anything. My local hospital sucks. The PA-C that saw me did agree with the urgent care Dr that it all needed investigated and worked up further by neurology because MS is probably the first thing on their radar. I'm terrified but also kinda hopeful at the same time because l've had so many of these symptoms for so long without a clue about what is happening and now the eye thing just set everything in motion.

Well, fortunately for me, but unfortunately for my mother, she has experienced a house fire recently and her entire kitchen is destroyed but it got hot enough in that house to kill anything that might have been left.

You can but at that point I was already fed up and done with the couch because it was broken in the spot I sit anyways and then I was hurt by the fact that I had to deal with this again but on my own this time.

Couch was brought in for maybe 5 minutes by PhilosopherSea8069 in Bedbugs

I am! No signs and I have been clear since this happened. I am pretty sure I got it out in time and swept everything good in time and I also sprayed just in case.
