Hello all hope I am doing this right. I have read many post on this board and it has been very helpful for me in my claims.
A little back ground, 2004 I was diagnozed with diabetes 2 and it has been going downhill real fast since then. I was awarded 20 for Diabetes and 10% each foot for Neoraphy, but denied heart disease. I had chest pain and fatigue and dizziness. Total award was 40%
In 2005 I had a heart attack and was awarded 70% with 100% for 3 months, during the heart attack I had emergency angioplasty with a stent insertion and limited activity after for 3-4 weeks.
Recently lets say Sept/Oct 06 I started having chest pains and sleepless nights. Having to pop nitro on occasion. Went to my cardio (private doctor) and had ekg and cardio and he scheduled me for a cardio cath, during the cardio cath I was treated with another stent in another artery with a blockage of 95%.
My question is should I put in for another rate increase to 100% and if any of you have had this happen?
Before the Diabetes was detected I rarely even took a tylenol and now I have a whole draw full of pills and I don't think my future is to bright with this disease.
