My name is Cathy, I am a single mother of 2, my youngest is 15 and attending school.   I desperately need help with medical bills.   I am on disability and have Medicare but that only pays 80 percent of the cost.  I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and degenerative disk disease.  I have had 2 hip replacements, and 2 disk fustions and I am currently getting steroid shots for my back.   My daughter just had her appendix taken out, and she is not covered by any insurance, we don't qualify for CHIPS.   So that cost me just for the hospital - Matagord General Hospital 22,000.00, plus the Dr. and lab...   She was also at Texas Childrens before that having some test run.   I am trying to pay all my health care bills, but I can't catch up paying 10 to 50 dollars a month for each bill.   I am also having a terrible time trying to keep my teeth healthy, but the cost of dental work is absolutly crazy.   I think the med's I take for my RA is taking a toll on my teeth.   Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.   I have records of all my bills and history of where I am trying to pay them.  Thanks for any help.   

I am trying to get disability, it is taking forever. They are 99% sure that I have MS ( No lesions have been found as of yet) and Tourettes Syndrome just as my eldest son does. I am constantly being tested with MRI's, EEG's, X-rays, Blood work, I am 35 yrs old and can hardly walk, drive or do daily tasks anymore. I am falling daily, losing my memory, constantly tired and in pain, even with the medications they have me on ( Morphine, klonipin, 500mg of Naprosyn, Vicodin, Mirapex.) My team of Doctors have diagnosed me with: Scoliosis and Sclerosis of the spine, spinal Stenosis, advanced Rheumatoid Arthritis , Peripheral Neuropathy,ataxia, Severe Restless Leg Syndrome& Fibromyalgia. They think I have MS but it is not showing up on the MRI ( which can take up to 4 yrs) I am slowing losing my memory which will eventually turn to dementia, I fall due to lack of coordination and muscle weakness. I am on so many different types of medications that I am constantly tired, along with the weakness that naturally comes with the illnesses. I was just married April 25, 2008 to the man of my dreams.. I waited 34 years before I finally took the plunge and now, 6 months later I fall ill. I can no longer work, or go to school. It is hard for me to even drive anymore. I was going back to school to get my English/Psychology Degree- to be able to put my sons through college..Well that won't be happening. I am still waiting to hear from disability, but you all know how long that can take. My eldest is 15, my baby is 8. I have 4 wonderful stepchildren. I was all set to be a psychotherapist in abnormal behavior, but now that dream has come to a bitter end. It just seems so unfair. I refuse to give up! If you can help in anyway, PLEASE DO. We are about to lose our house and EVERYTHIING...please. please I need you to help us any way possible!

I am a middle age woman who used to be vibrant and energetic.  I worked many years as a paralegal, living on my own and raising my daughter, then I was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis.  When I was diagnosed, I only owed $70,000 on my home but because of all my medical bills, I had to declare bankruptcy.  Is there anyone out there guided by angels, with a big heart, who would pay off my mortgage for me?  Anyone, who could make my life just a little bit easier?  You never realized how lucky you are when you have your health, but when you loose it, it can turn your world upsidedown.  Please help if you can.
