I am a 47 year old woman who once was a very productive individual. Due to car accidents, and fibromyalgia my income is minimum. I have applied for disability but have been turned down 2x's. Fibromyalgia I am told is a hard disability to rec. benifits for. I am living in a rented room, and the money I make covers the room rent and barely anything else. I am a certified massage therapist and have not been able to practice due to illness. I was told by my physician to take 3 months to rest, destress and hopefully, exersise, watch my diet, and hopefully my fibromyalgia would be in a remitative state. I applied for everything in the state that I know to. Long lists, and very few agencies that can help. I am becoming dispondent and feel that I am in a cycle of despair. I am not looking for a hand out. I am just looking for help in order to pay bills for and expenses for several months so that I can get the medical attention, therapy, and rest that my body needs. Hoping that with this time, at least my body would start to heal, and the pain, migranes, and all the other symptoms that cause me to be unable to be productive will start to turn around. Any amount of money would help, but when I am calculating the expenses $1200.00 seems to be the amount needed. I know this may seem like a great amount to some, and very little to others. I am not looking for a hand out. Just desperated exhausting all other possibilites, looking for a hand up.
