CAN YOU COLLECT DISABILITY FOR IBS??

i am on full disabilty for my problems, ibs started it, and other problems followed, i.e, stress, pain, joint pains.so i hope this helps youyou are not alone

Thanks for your response Shaun;How did you go about it? What did they require of you? I don't even know where to begin!Thanks!!Amy

I'm not quite sure if you can collect disability for IBS, but I know for a fact that you can collect disability for ANXIETY. I've been there. Only thing, it's rough getting off of it. Also, once the doctors see your disability/medicare/medicade card, they treat you like ####/dirt/and don't spend as much time as people who pay cash or have so called "normal" insurance. Not all Doctor's are like this, but I had to keep searching for one who really cared about me, rather then why I was disabled. They just ask too many questions, and boy, do I ever hate that. Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh against some doctors, but I did clarify myself and say "not all Doctor's."Hope this has been of some help for you.Another thing, I am still paying back overpayments made to me by Social Security. I told them for months and months that I was working, and they kept sending the checks. When I called them every month, they told me that I am to cash them, that I have a right to cash them, that they are mine...and thank you for calling...is there anything else we can do for you. Like I said, I am paying them back, a small amount every month, with no interest, because they admitted that it was their fault.Jadair---

Donna, Thanx for the LEAP site in your profile. I didn't get to read the whole site, but it's awesome. Jadair---

Thanks for the warning about going back to work after getting disability benefits, Jadair! I am going to have to try to go back to work at the beginning or middle of next month. Like I said in an earlier post I have IBS and Anxiety/Panic disorder with agoraphobia. I am worried about not being able to get a job due to the amount of time I have been out of work, and for the reasons I have been out of work. I have been out of work for about a year and a half. I was not able to get medicaid, if I did I would have have to met a spindown amount that was outrageous, so I just had to wait and save till I could afford to go to the doctor. For anyone else reading this, please pray for me and keep your fingers crossed for me. I haven't traveled for more than maybe 5 or 10 miles from where I am living in over a year and I will within the next few weeks be moving from Missouri to Alabama. The scary thing for me is that I have to take a bus, which means a 19 to 22 hour bus ride with multiple stops! The only thing that I keep telling myself is that I HAVE to do it! I figure that if I keep telling myself that that it will help me get through it! Thanks for listening.
