Getting free services from the county, I find that I am diagnosed with a condition, and then scheduled to see a specialist. The appointment is usually 6 months later. They are so far into the future, and some of my meds leave me in such a fog, that if they didn't send/call a reminder of the appointment, I wouldn't make it as I have lost track of time.

I have been on disability since 1996, I have progressivly gotten worse with panic and phobia's along with my medical conditions. I have not left my house for four months at a time (agoraphobia) I have unreasonable fears of everyting from food, germs, people, and esp doctors. I see my family physcian for everything once maybe twice a year if I am heavily medicated. Even so, since I am the only one with ssd, no one to really help me I am in a virtual panic after reading the above. I had a CDR Nov 2007, Sept 2008 they want another for lack of medical records. I have no idea if the ekg, eeg, bloodwork and seeing my doc a couple months ago is going to be enough. This is a fear already causing me insomnia, bouts of crying I cannot control...yet I can't... just can't leave my house. I don't think it is lack of wanting treatment, it was lack of actual being able to go out in public and get it. I fully understand this womans need not to seek medical attention.

WHY? My large gaps going to the doctor for a 18 month pd. He told me I ran the the risk of a unfavorable decision. I end up losing a lot of money. So now I am collecting just SSI;I ended up 3 years of back SSI payments. vs 4 1/2 years of SSd/ssi payments If you get anything from my post, GO TO YOUR DOCTOR! ALL THE TIME.
