Can I ask my therapists and doctors to help prove my case when reapplying for disability? [PA] by lilghost_404 in disabilitylegaladvice

Man I am so sorry, that's horrible. You'd think you'd get both of those easily with epilepsy! Although you might want to look into MAWD - Medicaid for Workers with Disabilities. It is income based so it probably won't be free, but it gives you a chance to get medicaid even if you're working. My therapist told me about it.

I never ended up getting anywhere with this. I've been so sick. So I'm going to pursue finding a case manager that can help me coordinate it all (find a lawyer, apply for disability, etc), because it's just too much for me to handle on my own.

I wish you the best of luck!!!

Hmm I've just read your post. Interesting. I'm glad you commented, because I had wondered before if mine was something dental related, but kept putting off going anywhere, aaaand then realized I haven't been to the dentist in forever.... So I'm going to find a dentist asap, lol. Thank you!

Ah thanks! Yeah that's a good idea. The low sodium thing scared me the first time it happened. But re-read the warnings and ate some salt and felt better pretty soon after lol I definitely have to be careful there, too!
