Does it feel like the whole system is set up for you to fail? That’s because IT IS! Even more so if you are part of the indigenous population.

Lower Brule IHS intentionally withheld my medical records from Social Security from October 2017 when I first established care until June 2018 that clearly showed a period of rapid progression of my Small Fiber Neuropathy with Autonomic Dysfunction.
