Jessica. I can say from my father's experience that what you went through was what he went through, and it still makes me sad. He was having a hearing to keep his disability. He had 3 heart attacks and open heart surgery. he could do some light housework and ride a lawn mower but only for a little while at a time. He was watched for a while. In court, the disability people had watched and videoed him for some time. how many times he visited his grandchildren across the road, went to town, bought groceries and who he spoke with while out, even kept up with the mileage on his pickup and so much more without anyone's knowledge. How they knew all the information was a mystery to me. They had to have come in his yard at night and check his mileage somehow to get that. In court they hounded him to tell the courts about his heart condition and they wanted the medical aspect of it. When he could not say all the medical terms, they kept on and on and he had another heart attack on the stand. Fortunately, it was a mild one. My sister, nurse, was told she would be held in contempt of court if she spoke out one more time. She knew our father was getting ready for an attack. He only had an 8th grade education but worked all his life to provide for his family. There was no way he knew all the medical jargon. He was told to have disabililty was to lie on the couch all day and not lift a finger. They took his disabililty away from him and he was in his late 60s. I am sorry you had to go through with this. It is a shame someone has to go through this. There are people who truely need this help. I have MG also but mine does not seem as severe as yours and my medicine is helping me alot. I think Alicemd's advice is good advice. I hope you can find some peace. busy
