Hi Peggy, sorry that your pain has returned. Yes, this is an indicator that it's time to do something - again.
It will take less of a toll on you if you start your SSD application with an attorney who specializes in SS. I used Binder and Binder, but there are several others out there. I started my process in FL, but had to move to GA due to divorce. Had I stayed in FL, the process would have taken 2 years or so.
Mine ended up taking 4 years.
(((((((hugs)))))))
