Hi All,
I've had my colostomy for about a year now and have tried to work with this bag as best as I could. I have spent a large amount of $$$$ on finding the right products as my insurance coverage is not the best.
After consultation with the stoma nurse and Dr. it was suggested I should try for disability. I have a unique issue in that the force at which the product leaves my body is quite forceful due to muscles paralyzed from radiation treatments. Its not uncommon for me to change bags 5-8 times daily if I catch it in time. So you can imagine what accidents are like and the possibility of them occurring throughout the day night.
Has anyone applied for SSDI? I hear they are tough. Anyone been to a hearing for this condition. I'd like to know what to expect if it is rejected.
Thanks much appreciated.
