I don't post much, but I've been reading this and the Braintalk forum for years. Just wanted to let everyone know that I received a fully favorable decision on Social Security yesterday. This is after 2 denials. The whole process began in November 2003, so it's been a long road.

I'm in SF, and the judge was quite familiar with Drs. Newkirk and Collins(UCLA). He also took note of the fact that I had an MRI taken 8 months after surgery that showed scar tissue on my brachial plexus.

Anyway, just wanted to share good news and a light at the end of the tunnel.
