I know it has to feel like just another blow to your world with RSD in it...Knowing that yes, the first time thru can't be a negative result is one thing but as with every thing else with our illness..we have to get back up..re-group and go at it again..I, like Jim..think its time for someone to back you on this process..I just applied in July for SSD but my employer has a group who assists me in this process, Allsup. Funny, next week I have a teleconf. with them to complete a 44 page questionaire... I rather they just pull up the 55 gal. drum and ask me to give my blood til it emptys me out...right then and there!

Good luck, Cindi..You will prevail because you will not give up nor weaken!!

Love, Kathy
