disability

I am on disability in Canada. I was hospitalized for depression 3 times and finally diagnosed with IC, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. The first attempt, I was told I had to appeal............I was sent to various drs. for assessment. Before I had my appeal ready, I was told they had reconsidered. I had a lot of input from my support system, drs., family, associations. One of the most helpful was The Interstitial Cystitis Association
founder and president Vicki Ratner, MD
their e-mail is www.ichelp.org and phone number 301-610-5300
I hope this helps, you can e-mail me for more info, do not give up. All of my drs. were very supportive........bjm
