Just so you know eventually you will qualify for medicare... I think it is about 3 years from your date of disability.

I am glad you won your case.

Best wishes

medicare should start as soon as you qualify. It takes a little time to get it set up.

If you have a secondary private insurance you will want to make sure that they don't end up being secondary insurance with medicare as the primary. Also I was not able to find private insurance that would take me because of my disease.

Good news is that you can get some of the medicare prescrition plans to cover drugs like IM bicillin.

And the SS people are actually really nice once you get approved. Call them if you need help finding resources now availible to you.
congrats.

Burnbitter, mine is set up where medicare is 1st payer, and our wellmark, bc/bs is 2nd payer. We've had NO problems with that. Why are you stating to do it just the opposite?

Burnbitter, also, please hit enter to break up your long text into paragraphs and double space for us neuro lymies who can't read/comprehend as is in 1 long paragraph. Thanks so much BB.

Also, BB and anyone who uses the " " which BOLDS THE ENTIRE POST,

I have a big favor to ask of you. On the above post, you " " quoted whoever, and then it was BOLDED for 3-4 paragraphs.

For people like me with such severe neuro lyme, the pain the BOLD causes me is unbelievable.

For me, it's like looking directly at the sun.
----------------------------------------------

Could you EDIT/PENCIL icon your post and do 1 of 2 things:

1. DELETE the [/QB] at the beginning of the quote right after the quote in brackets and also at the END of the quote...delete the bracker q/b there too; 2 places to delete.

Then it's normal print and doesn't hurt our eyes.

2. Just use the POST REPLY at the top/bottom of screen to show your rely comments. When I started on here, I just couldn't see the black & white post reply, so I too used the " " area. That's how I learned for myself to delete the BOLD codes myself to ease my pain.

FYI, you don't need to quote them, just use the SEND REPLY box..ok UNLESS you want to quote part of what they said, then use the other option DELETING THE BOLD LIKE I'VE SHOWED. THANK YOU!

Thanks for helping me & others. We value reading all the experience and suggestons from all on this board.

Thanks for sharing yours as well. Peace.
