I saw my neuro and my pcp yesterday. They both filled out some questions for me. they said i could not work on my own due to possible seizures and also if i had anymore (and that they are...
I try to be as honest as i can. I just stress too much. I did tell him i have a problem with the psych eval. They say "i am going to tell you 3 or 4 words (can not remember which) and ask you them...
had the first appt only. signing and reviewing to see if they would take it. He seemed confidant it would be approved eventually. It just makes me aggravated on the reasons of denial. I just talked...
Please read and give honest opinion my notes are in bold. when i got my denial this info was not included with it that i remember. I think the lawyer stapled it to it as there are more staple marks....
when i told the atty what the rep said about the ankle he started shaking his head. I had to cancel one appt that ssi had scheduled for me. I was scheduled for Nov 1 and the sunday before that was...

Hi and welcome. There are several posts on here about applying for disability. I would advise searching this. This being said, people on here will try to answer your questions. I just saw a lawyer...
He said they will take my disability case. YEAH. I have some paper work he wants me to have some of the drs to fill out, but some of the questions, i am not sure some will know the answer to. My pcp...

I left my job in April, due to other health reasons. I have applied for disability and the fibro is part of the reason. I understand what you are talking about, including the sex part! It is really...
My sister who was born with brain damage is on disability. She gets a call every so often where they do an interview over the phone. Mom pretty much tells them that things are the same. Once you get...
I write poems sometimes. I have to be inspired though. Mine tend to rhyme a lot like dr suess. I also think if i get the approval for the disability, i will feel better. More bills paid, and some...
I do not have any pics right now. I did make all the earrings for my dd's wedding. She still has the earrings, just not the hubby LOL. I usually make ones with the french hooks. I made some i really...
I was wondering if any of you have hobbies. I have a creative soul but nothing turns out good enough for me. I love painting but what i see in my head is hard for me to bring out on canvas. My...
My pcp says I will be approved eventually. she does not doubt it. My neuro said i can not work due to the brain damage. I did expect a denial. They say the deny 70% the first time. It goes down a...
I got my denial today. It says "based on a review of your health problems you do not qualify for benefits on this claim. This is because you are not disabled under our rules". First thing I did was...
I have had to have several stress tests. I tell them up front, i can not do the walking. My cardio has tried to talk me out of it every time saying it is more acurate than the one with meds. I have a...
Happy Anniversary....
I like the fact that you came here to find solutions. I seem to be the person on here that looks on the down side of things, but here is my opinion. I know how the financial situations can change and...

Been there. My 72 yr old mom is in better shape that i am. I have a disabled placard that i have had for years due to mobility problems. Sometimes people will see me get out of the car and walk in...

I can not help but worry. Dh says i do enough for both of us. I am going to let him know how bad my worries and anxiety gets. They have to give me a valuim for an mri. The dr that will be doing it is...
Thanks. I stress easily. I can not help thinking about how even a blood pressure cuff will hurt me. I have had the twilight sleep for different procedures and usually have no problem except for last...
I go back to the eye dr next month. He has already talked about me having cataract surgery but wanted to wait till after the new year due to all i had been through in 2012. I was told they do not put...

East Tennessee here. Our weather is always different. Today, it rained all day Sunday and it is listed as 100% expected for today. It is 3:43 am and still raining. That hurts me the most, damp cool...
Dh and i have a joke between us. Many years ago, we always drank coke cola. We decided to change to diet coke. We did it cold turkey. The next month there was an article in the news that coke cola...
Not giving up my diet coke and diet dr pepper. I do order water with lemon a lot at restruants. And i like ice chips at home. I read the article. If i remember correctly it said something about diet...
I believe when you get news that affects your life such as a dx of fibro, you go through a denial process and depression. I get on a crying, depressed jag sometimes where i just want to curl up and...
I saw my rheumy a couple weeks ago and he asked me if I had had growing pains growing up. I told him I used to love to run but when I was in middle school I no longer had fun running. He said that...
I am waiting on disability answer. I try to keep my mind busy with computer games, and reading. I also make jewelry and do paintings. In fact, I did a painting for my mom for Christmas that she...
Because i am sick. (Blaming husband also). When i overdo it with things i do, or stress a lot, not only do i hurt more, but after all is over, I get sick. Today, i feel like you know what. Dh was...
I am in the "playing the waiting game" stage right now. I have had 2 appts with ss drs. It can get frustrating. I already have called a lawyers' office that helped me get ssi years ago. I was taken...

I had mine with a psychologist last month. I was being evaluated for memory and anxiety. I was asked questions and given words to remember then repeat. I am not sure how it went because if you give...
Hi! I have the same problem and even think i asked the same thing on here before. Sometimes you do not know. The problem a lot of us have is blaming everything on the fibro. At least I was. My...
I hope you feel better soon. I am having a flare today. I hate cold weather and all the stress of holidays. Not to be a downer, i do want to say be careful with the ibruprofen. Hubby took it for a...
I take warfrin. In fact i am headed to the blood thinner clinic in about 15 minutes. It does not cost so much with my insurance. I have had to tell drs that i can not take different meds even when...
I tend to have a burst of energy about 3 pm. I usually then do too much and hurt worse afterwards. Dr told me to make sure i pace myself. Yeah, if i did, nothing would get done....
Listening is the best thing for my dh to do for me. Sometimes i get in a "Why me?" mood. He lets me whine, cry or whatever i need. Understand that plans may have to be cancelled or redone on the spur...
Anyone who has told me that they were getting a hysterectomy i have told them that was the best thing i ever had done. I was having pain and went to the gyno and said if you say hysterectomy, i would...
