I have been living with this nightmare and it just seems to get worse. I am slowly loosing function of my limbs. My left hand which is my dominant hand has no feeling except for the pain inside my right hand is doing to same and my lower legs to me feet are swelling and very weak. I have to use a cane or walker but right now since i am fighting wc I am paying for all my meds so I can't afford any of that so i am using my specially made crutch to help me walk. I have applied for social security disability about 5 times and have been denied every time. I just got myself an attorney to help me appeal and see what happens. ssdi says i don't need anything to help me walk and of course my age plays a factor. Not only do I have rsd but I have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and acid reflex. Acid reflex is due to all meds I am taking for my rsd and my ptsd which is due to my rsd. So I am hoping I can get somewhere with ssdi. Yes I am also fighting wc because they are liable for my injury. I was just wondering if anybody here has tried for ssdi as many times as I have and have been unsuccessful?

Sincerely,
Tracy
