Mr. President of the USA I Want to Know This.....

Hello Mr. President,

I realize that your time is very precious especially around Election Time so I want to Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

I want to know why is it that I am sitting here facing the possibility of 3 different Cancers and yet when my Doctor's Assistant or Nurse (Not sure of her actual job title) calls United Healthcare to get Approval of my Left Hip MRI that I have been waiting for Approval of since December 6, 2014 they just keep putting her through the phone queue tree but noone actually answering her? I was diagnosed with an Enchondroma in 2014. I was to have had a follow-up on December 6, 2014 but was unable to at that time due to no ride available. I called to reschedule.

I am calling today to schedule a Biopsy on my Uterus and a Ductogram.

I have not even been able to get my SSI even though I have-- PsA, Spondylosis, Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia, Hemiplegic Migraines, Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia with Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Grade Level 1, Major Depression, Bipolar 2, Panic Attack Disorder, Anxiety Attack Disorder and PTSD. Yet, I am told by the ALJ that I am not Disabled Enough by the Federal Standards. Most likely due to the reason stated in the next paragraph. Many of my diseases are the result of Agent Orange that was dumped on my father before I was even thought of and the Traumas I suffered as a young child and a young woman.

My current Doctor keeps telling me that most of my illnesses stem from Somatic Symptom Disorder.  This is not true. My physical pain and illnesses are and have been very real. Not one doctor is believing me due to what the others have put into my medical records. I found the source of my pain and noone wants to believe me because the Studies have not yet been released from Stamford Medical University on Naltrexone 4.3mg and Fibromyalgia. It was for this reason, I quit taking Percocet (5-325mg) 2 tablets 4 times a day. I am only taking Acetaminophen now, not by refusal as what is listed in my medical records but because of this interaction between the Percocet and the protein in Fibromyalgia patient's body. It was at this time the PSA was discovered after an injury to my neck. I still have not yet been able to begin Methotrexate 2.5 mg due to have had a Sinus infection since September 10, 2015 that my doctor keeps saying is just Allergies. I have a History of Chronic Sinusitis but she refuses to believe this as she only has the Electronic Records which in fact are only half of my medical history. Yes, I also have a history of Allergies but they only affect my eyes and nose not my Sinus Cavities.

Is it simply because I am too poor to be considered human after all? That I am too Disabled by my physical pain and the deformity of my bones to work? I do not even have the money to make sure that my Developmentally Disabled husband is cared for after I am gone and we are in Debt. Mostly because, if I am to be honest, was to try and fill the hole left by my biological family when they chose to throw me to the garbage heap. When in reality I was trying to get the care and love I deserved. (But anyway that is another story). I chose to break the cycle of abuse.

That money is worth more than my life?

 That my father's 3 Tours of Viet Nam meant nothing to the people or Government he fought for Freedom of even to the point of getting Agent Orange dumped on him and his whole Platoon? Who is now laying at home dying himself.

Once again , I want to Thank You for your time.

Please make sure this does not happen to anyone else, please.

Sincerely,

Karen M.  Roth
