Some people....

I'll never understand some people and they're thinking. Every single year my GI fills out a form for me so I can get the disability tax credit when I file my income tax. It really helps me, because I get money back for all the costs I have to take care of during the year. So why is this a rant you might ask?

Well, I sent my doctor this year to fill out the form, and I got a call from him stating that he no longer feels that crohns should be considered a disability, and therefore he will not fill out the form. WHAT!? OKay I'm not in a wheelchair or missing a limb or something, crohns is still a disability in a sense that we have to alter our lives in order to be able to do things.

Oh, and he had no problem signing a DISABILITY form for me 4 months ago for my school.

I'm really hoping my new GI will fill out the form for me. Doctors have no problem giving us expensive prescriptions, and telling us we need this and that, but when it comes time, they never seem to want to help.

Someone else might be able to better add to this, but I thought I had read some where that in Ontario Crohn's is recognized as a disability which qualifies for some type of disability payment in some cases

It does. I was offered financial assistance before because of crohns but I didn't need it because of work.

I have been with that doctor my whole life! He was the one waiting as I rolled in on stretchers. He was the only shoving scopes up a$$. He was the one my mom made home made rice krispy squares for EVERY MONTH! When I went for Remicade shots at his hospital.

Sorry I don't make a quarter million+ a year like they do! I'd still like atleast a little bit of my money back that I continue to spend every year on this stupid disease. I didn't choose to have it!

Lol I don't either. I don't receive money monthly because of it, but it really did help out come income tax time. I just can't get over it.

I should invite him to do something and then cancel last minute because I'm sick in bed and can't move.
