Recently diagnosed with lupus. It's been three months and counting. I've been denied disability and unemployment at the same time my case has been put on appeal. I have no idea when I will be approved or if I will at this point. I am on 13 different medications and I still have medication waiting for me. I can't get at the moment because I have no insurance and I have no way of paying for it. I'm just trying to get well enough to get back to work and get my life back.
Without any warning I went from perfectly healthy and happy to bed ridden and miserable. Test after test in and out of the hospital for 3 months and I've finally been diagnosed as having Class V Lupus.
This has not just taken a toll on my body and mind but it is affecting my livelihood as I am out of work and without any income. I'm not the type to ask for help but I've never needed it more in my life.
