I hope you find out whatever you can, because I also have
developed AVS after being misdiagnosed with Lupus. I am 35
years old and I very developed severe depression. I have just
had one hip replaced and am in dire need of having the left
hip replaced. I can barely walk, stand, and even sit. I am in
pain continually. I have contacted several attorneys and yet
to get a return call. I have no idea what to do. I have had to
file for retirement disability and SSI. I am praying to be
approved because I have had no income for 7 months. I was on
prednisone for 2years. I have gained about 30 lbs and I have
no LIFE. I pray that the second surgery and a GREAT
malpractice lawsuit will begin to give me back some of my
life. I hate PREDNISONE and my pain never actually went away,
hope the other bones and joints will be okay.
