Boy, What A Relief!

I have been on disability through my work since October 2004. After a certain amount of time, they require you to apply through the Federal Government for Disability Benefits and if you are approved, the insurance company through work will still top up to what you were previously getting.

I sent in the papers about 3 - 4 months ago, and got a call this morning from them that my claim has been approved. Thank goodness. At least the worry has been removed that the insurance company through work will decide to "discontinue" at any time......

What a huge relief this is........

Hugs.

Karen

HI Karen

I'm so happy for you. Seems your finally getting a 'BREAK'

It's about time, honey.

I paid thousands in 'short term' disability insurance at work for 15 years..and of course when the lay-offs came and my surgery was coming up...i got the dreaded pink slip. All that $$ and they kept every penny. I was an easy one to 'pick off' My drs. actually pleaded with me (even before my celiac dx) to apply for SSD disabillity for my other medical issues. I applied and seems they didn't want to fight a 5" folder of documentation....so.....it's so wonderful to hear that someone as deserving as you won.

I did try for a year to do temp work (with in the guide lines of how much you could earn a month) but finally had to give that up too. I don't get that much as my $$ went into teacher retirement instead of SS but...every little bit helps...

hope you did something to celebrate.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.
