My guess is that since this is my first application, I will likely be turned down. I think I did a fairly good job of describing my limitations, but from what I've read, it's rare to get an approval the first time around. It is exhausting to fill out the mountains of forms and much of it is redundant. My balance and gait are actually good at this point. It's more pain and numbness in feet and hands that limits my ability to do work that involves using either for extended periods. It's difficult to find any position that is comfortable.

I've seen a few different doctors and they all have some information on me, but I don't know that any of them would take the time or feel they have my full story to fill out that form.

One more question on the psychological exam. Is it more talking or more of a pen and paper test to guage my anxiety/depression? I'm just not sure what to expect.

Thank you all for your responses.
