Cindi.

I just went for my SSDI psych eval two weeks ago. I took my husband with me and he sat in on the entire evaluation.

I live in MD, so I know that each state has different protocols (sp?). My evaluation went (so I thought) very well. The doctor was very kind and sympathetic. I feel like I "passed"...I was told by SSDI that RSD is not always considered a disability, but ANY psychological issues are almost always considered for an instant approval. I have depression, anxiety and PTSD, so the doctor jumped right on that. (Honestly, I think all of us here have some depression, etc. -- I mean, how could we NOT?)

I did tell the doctor that I was medicated heavily. Someone posted here (fmichael?) that we should ALWAYS state that we are medicated, so it gives us a little wiggle room with our answers.

I'm sure it will go well for you. Just try to relax and be honest. Let us know how it went.

Good luck,

Kim
