My daughter has an advanced degree in social work and was well versed in how to complete the paper work and that was a great help. She had also attended many hearings and was able to tell me what to expect, so if you know a social worker, that may be a good source to tap, especially one who works with severe mental illnesses. Glad to hear from you again, I have missed your posts and was wondering about you, Lisa

Hi Lisa, Thank you for being so complimentary. Glad you have a RSD friendly house. We had the new one remodeled and the day we finished it, we sold this house. Good Timing. I do have a friend on SSDI that is helping me fill out the paperwork. I have talked to an attorney, and he said for me to apply first and he would help me with appeals if there are any. My two friends got it first timei-about 2 years ago. My daughter is a court reporter, but she really doesn't work in this line of the law.
I haven't been on the forum for a while-we had company for 8 days-2 couples from Oregon-Washington. Then remodeling the new house. Packing and I've been doing so much research on internal RSD in the Pelvic Region. Just saw two new Drs. But no experience. May go to New Jersey or Washington DC. Dr. OZ had the New Jersey on his show in January about the internal RSD. If anyone needs information about it, I have a lot of information.
We also sold our business as I'm not able to work in it anymore. But I also lost my health insurance, so hope to get this...............
Thank you for your help and very glad you found this wonderful group of friends. Do you have a local support group? We do here in Phoenix. Our once a month meetings are very good. This Saturday is about RA, which I am pretty sure I'm getting in my knuckles. You can go do RSDSA and put in your zip code for support group and it will give you closest group with contact name and phone number. Take care, one of your many new friends, loretta with big hugs
