Unhappy still kicking
haha... TOS humor.

I'm F/44, had bi-lateral cervical ribs and an extra left scalene muscle that decided to start giving me sx at age 35. Diagnosed in 2001, had cervie and first rib resections in 2004 in Denver. (I won't mention the first FAILED attempt at a resection in Florida: mangled a nerve in my arm so bad it had to be removed ) Sx persisted, so had bi-lateral Pec-minor disinsertion April 2005. Overall only 10% improvement... but a 10% I accept happily.

Applied for SSD/SSI in 2003... still awaiting court date, another year out for GA. Divorced in 2005. Going to try a letter writing campaign to plea for help. Living with family until I win my case. Surviving on State supplied medical care (minimal and poor) and food stamps.

I'm super-glad that we are coming back together!!!
