Hey There,
I recently filed for SSDI in 1/09. I cannot rec. SSI because hubby makes too much money. I do have enough credits for SSDI.
I have RSD/CRPS I; Major Depression;Anxiety and Panic Disorder, High Blood Pressure,ShortTerm Memory Loss(can't find my words,sometimes), etc.
I have a mental exam in 5/09 concerning my SSDI claim. I have seen a psychologist every 2 weeks since 4/08. I have 2 yrs. of steady medical records to prove the RSD/CRPS I diagnosis. I even tried to go back to work for 2 months in 2008(10/08 thru 12/08) and had to resign because I could not take meds as they would make me "zone" out.Before that, I had been off work because of the syndrome, which increased symptoms after my 2nd right knee surgery on 01/16/08. Also, I can't take my meds and drive..illegal as it would be under the influence.
I hope everything goes well for you. There is support here. I am Dew, nice to meet you
