Out on Disability

the reason your vitamin D isn't going anywhere is that you are probably taking prescription D - D2 - little green gelcap in oil.  We can't absorb these. I took them for 2 years preop and they didn't do much, started at 16 and only went up to 36. Then post op, my NUT told me about Dry D3 from BioTech that you can get at vitalady.com - it is also 50,000 units but dry D3 rather than D2 in oil -you will absorb it so much better.  In 2 months, my level went from 36 to 97.

Give this stuff a try.  Most of us on the RNY and main board use it.

I as well am in the same spot. All though I am only 33 and they are saying because I am so young it's going to be hard and they are right. I applyed for disablity and got denied and i got a laywer and I am fighting it. And yes 18 to 24 months for a hearing. My laywer did fill out paper work to ask for a early desion because I can hardly work at all. 15 hours a week is very hard for me and still got denied. This is probly the hardest thing i have had to go threw other than loosing weight.. good luck everyone on getting disablity it's very hard!

I hope everything works out. My friend told me about a company called allsup that has a very high success rate of having people aprroved for disability.

Does anyone have a referral to a good rheumotologist in Westchester County, NY. I'm seeing one in NYC at Hospital for Special Surgery and he is getting me angry. I feel like he is not listening to me and is not documenting my flares on my medical records. Not happy with him. Not to mention that I have to drop a $100 every month I go. Done with him. Please let me know if anyone is seeing a rheumo they like in my area. Thanks
