[ADULT - Medical Update] Angelsboi Q & A

[William Ronald]

Angelsboi,

It is good to hear that you are still doing good. It's good to hear that you are getting some help with getting some help.

Glad to hear it buddy. Just keep taking things one day at a time.

How are your meds working out? Have the docs noticed any improvement T-cell count-wise? I don't know how long it takes to show, but it didn't seem to take too long to kill them, so maybe the upshot is they recover fast.

Here's hoping you can keep delivering that kind of news.

Any more news? I just made it into Atlanta this week for college at Emory, and though I have no car, perhaps we could meet up some time. I don't know if you're willing or able to go to Dragon*Con, but I'll be there.

Ryan, a bit of advice from somebody who's auditioned for disability. If your state is anything like California, don't be surprised if they deny you the first time. Out here the procedure is; you apply, they deny the application You appeal, they deny the appeal, You hire an administrative law lawyer and he appeals, they deny the appeal. You sue the state and appear before a federal administrative law judge, with you lawyer representing you. The judge declares you disabled and orders payments to commence immediately. Thus the state of California proves once again how penny wise and pound foolish it is. In your case I do hope the bureaucrats have more on the ball. And that you're able to go back to work sooner than the doctor thinks.

I love twinky connections and mis-coded browsers. Makes duplicate posts so much easier.

[Wulf Ratbane]

Well im back to 100 and on some new meds.

Pardon the ignorance... Back to 100? Pounds or T-cells?

 

[Angelsboi]

Angelsboi,

live life to the fullest, that's all I can say.
I can't pretend to know exactly what you feel right now, I know the feeling of loss (due to several cases of cancer and AIDS, in my family, in my girlfriend's family, close and not-so-close friends, years or mere weeks ago).
My best wishes. And keep fighting.

(I'm crappy at this sort of thing. Sorry for that.)
