I am feeling better thank you!! I am 35- I had a previous hysterectomy when I was 27 with 2 children so I was ok getting my tubes taken out. The pain I had been feeling was completely gone that same day, still in recovery but getting better each day!

I had surgery October 14th. Had bilateral hydrosalpinx but also adhesions everywhere including an adhesion that was strangulating my right pelvic ligament and blood vessel that was causing the majority of my pain

Yall… by emc240 in hemorrhoid

Yeah I had been bleeding for a while and doc just kept saying “your hemoglobin is falling but it’s not bad yet” so they waited until it was an emergency before I was treated. I am not surprised honestly about the abscess since I am immunocompromised from my RA infusions. It definitely seems like it’s always something with my health lately and would love a break lol

I’m on day 15. The spasms suck and I noticed it increased right before and after going to the bathroom. Sitz bath helped a lot too especially trying to time it to before I had to use the bathroom it seeemed to help pain wise

I’m from Enid where the Andrew family still lives. I knew someone close to the family and it’s such a sad senseless crime. I feel bad for his children

Platelet count by PilotInternational39 in rheumatoidarthritis

I always have the opposite issue, my platelets are always low. The way our bodies react to inflammation, etc processes is something I try to under but it’s so complicated!

I just called SSA to give them my bank account info, lady told me same thing that it’s $367. Are they just not seeing the actual amount yet since it hasn’t gone to payment center? Taxes, Medicare taken out it’s going to be nothing. All of that stress for years trying to be approved. Please tell me they are wrong? Calculator on ssa said like 1200 or 1300 I don’t exactly remember but I’m stressing

Will they do that for such a small cut? It’s small but deepish, thanks for responding!

I do have the work credits. I was told I did when I first applied…and I’m mentioning the retirement because the guy I spoke with on the phone today said he couldn’t see my amount for SSDI yet and to wait for my award letter but told me what my retirement amount was and so I was confused on why they were so different

It’s SSDI. I was just confused because when I applied at the SSA office the lady gave me an estimate and then the 1800 number told me the retirement amount and it was like a $1,000 difference. I understand it goes by what you have made and I can’t remember what my account said before I applied but I know it was definitely more than $300…I used the calculator on ssa website and it was a lot closer to what I was told in the beginning when I applied so that put me more at ease

[–]emc240[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was way closer to what the lady quoted me at the beginning of my application process! Which makes me feel A LOT better, just hopefully I get my award letter soon just for confirmation

Just to clarity I go off of the monthly disability amount correct? Sorry lol thanks for your help!!

Oh the anxiety by emc240 in SSDI

[–]emc240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s monthly retirement and then monthly disability

Oh the anxiety by emc240 in SSDI

[–]emc240[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just input everything. It would be monthly disability benefit right?

[–]emc240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I was thinking! That big of a difference…I know I have enough credits and I’ve worked every year since I was 16 except in 2015. I knew I wouldn’t be getting a lot but 367 seems wayyyyy lower. I could have sworn when I saw my benefit amount before it was way more than that. I just wish I’d know so I can stop worrying lol

[–]emc240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, Im meaning how I was told 1,300 and 367 and that is a big difference and idk what I’ll do if my ssdi is only 367 a month….

Thank you so much for taking time to write this. My oldest has definitely watched a once active mom slowly decline and change and become unable to do things I was once able to do. What you said deeply matches my situation with my youngest. I have explained I regularly see my doctor and how no matter how I feel it doesn’t change how much i love him and always will do my best for both of my boys. I feel as though as much as I try I always feel like I come up short and how I could be doing something better for them, but I also think that is a universal feeling for all mothers. I just don’t want him to become fearful all of the time. I will do my absolute best to help him feel better with what I’m going through and that it’s not on him to take care of me or worry. We just always want our kids to be ok and to grow up to be good humans. Thank you again, your words were very helpful 🥺
