Only you know how bad you are feeling and can make the choice to go if you need to.

I've read many of your posts and I truly feel for you! You sound like a devoted family man and I am so sorry to hear how much you've suffered. BUT, I am proud of you for having the courage to share your story with us, and to find the strength to keep going.
Best wishes to you. You and your family are in my prayers!!
Thank you for that.. as far as clinics to goto with out insurance... sure but they want payment up front and I dont have it.. A common truth I see every where. and as far as MDCR>> is it supposed to be automatic after 2 years?? MY job Told me I had to start applying right after I got disability... my atty is of no help

If you have SSDI, you do get medicare after 2 years. Normally that's the wait time and it kicks in as soon as you get your "fully favorable" letter. My case worker at the social security office was a hugh help in all that had to happen after I was approved. I also got a letter explaining everything better well, I had minor children at the time so it involved them also. If you have minor children you get ss for them also until age 18.

Best of luck.

I would do a computer search for free clinics in your area. Or call the county health nurses. They would know of free or sliding scales health centers. In my area they have free clinics on certain days- first come first served.

Since your last labwork showed your kidney function was a little off, I worry that your kidneys are losing the ability to concentrate urine. Some of your meds may be metabolized by your kidneys and, if this is the case, your kidneys could be stressed by the medication.

I wouldn't mess around with this. Definitely try to find a free clinic or contact your public health nurses. Where do you live? I could try to do a computer search for you.

Did i say kidney.. sorry it was liver..my numbers were hi.
as far as free clinics.. yeah not that ive found as of yet.. I did just get a letter from my job with application for MDCR.. believe it or not plus they are offering me a free secondary ins. to cover the difference.. odd .. Im looking into that now. but as far as disability ssdi its only a year so far.. well a little more but all my other applications were denied .. Im curiouse to see where this new info leads me.. Its scary how this shows up out of the blue..

Default Hope this helps...
I've just recently discovered in my area that there are medical services that are free or a visit is around $15. They usually are only open one day a week or a few days a week where doctors basically come in on their free time. I live in MD and its called a mobile outreach program. Your local health department might be able to help you as well. If it gets really bad go to the emergency room it may ruin your credit but they can't refuse to give you medical treatments. Also, I would try taking cranberry pills a couple times a day. I'll try to help u find some programs that will help if you want.
