[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 583532, member: 14356"] Ugh - 2nd post today that I've lost. Insane - You're right it's not technically called a couch-surfing stipend but SS will provide 3 different levels of support for students between the ages of 16 and 18 (not sure after 18). $600 a month if they are renting an apartment or living in a shared accomodation situation where they have their own room, $300 a month (approx) if they are couch-surfing and about $150 a month if they are living in a homeless shelter. And of course it is to go towards food and clothing etc. but there is that IF you mentioned. Dee - I'm not usually one to go to the doctor but this scares me. I have been to see her a few times. I've had bloodwork which showed normal levels with the exception of my iron. I am anemic so I'm now on iron supplements. I've had 2 ultrasounds, internal and external to look for fibroids to see if they might be the cause of the anemia - got the all clear on that. I've had an ECG (EKG) and that came back clear. Now I'm going to have a Holter monitor test on the 15th. 48 hours of heart monitoring to see if they can detect what I'm feeling.
