#Migraine is the most common & disabling brain disease, but @SocialSecurity still doesn't recognize it as potentially disabling, making it much harder for people to qualify for earned benefits.

Globally, #migraine is the #1 cause of disease-related #disability for people 10-24 & the 4th cause for people 25-49. Yet @SocialSecurity still doesn't treat it as a potentially disabling disease. ssa.gov/disability/pro…
Severe #migraine is profoundly disabling. The World Health Organization uses objective metrics to determine disease burden & ranks severe migraine in the highest category of disability alongside terminal-stage cancer.
Shame on @SocialSecurity.

My birthday is Feb 21.
I can't afford my #healthcare after Feb. 28 because my monthly premium leapt to $1,978.10 in January.
I'm re-applying for #Medicaid and #SSDI, but no one should have to do this in America.
I am just one of millions.

I'm angry.
I've been angry since Nov. 9, 2016.
I'm not by nature an angry person.
But when you're fighting for your literal life, you're in constant pain & you have to fight a system dedicated to crushing sick/#disabled people, it's enraging.

I had another life-threatening heart/lung episode today.
I'm not sure how much of it had to do with my cutting my heart meds back to once a day while appealing the increased price by my health insurance from $120 for 60 pills to $1k for 60 pills.
We had to call 9/11.
Scary.

I couldn't afford to go to the hospital--when you call 9/11 the city charges you $1,200 for the trip to nearest hospital.
They only accept cash.
The EMTs checked me out, told me to take the heart meds the way they were prescribed, established I wasn't in VFib, just SVT AFib.

So all day, instead of doing work that needs to be done, I have been trying to get my heart rate under 140, which given my lung meds increase my heart rate, has been more work: breathing exercises my PT taught me, single nostril breathing @HillaryClinton taught me (try it).
