CASES.  I AM VERY FATIGUED,  MY KNEES ARE IN PAIN,  ETC.......................YOU KNOW THE SYMTOMS. I WANTED TO KNOW YOUR AGE AND IF YOU HAD ANY OTHER ILLNESS THAT MAY HAVE HELPED WIN YOUR CLAIM? HOW MANY TIMES WAS YOUR CLAIMED DENIED BEFORE IT WAS OK' D?  I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A PRECEDENT THAT CAN BE SET FOR CERTAIN CLAIMS LIKE CML (CANCER) (GLEEVEC) SIDE AFFECTS.  MY WIFE TOLD ME  TO EXPECT THE INITIAL CLAIM TO BE DENIED.  ANY OTHER INFO WOULD BE HELPFUL.                                                                                                                              THANKS,                                                                                                         STEVE            --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
