Hi...
pardon my gibberish- it's very late here and I haven't slept. In lots of pain, stressed, and parents have stopped talking to me- honestly don't know why. And since this has happened, I've lost all my friends, so I'm totally alone. The only thing keeping me going through all this pain is the hope that I can get SS figured out and at least get one huge worry off my chest.

So my question is, what do I need to do to find the correct info as to where to start... Should I get a lawyer? I don't exactly see eye-to-eye with my doc and so Idk how accurate his records are. Also, I need this to be done fast, as I live on my own and get no help from my parents. I'm pretty afraid of the whole process to be honest, and in a perfect world, would love nothing more than some "hand-holding" through this process... As horribly painful as CRPS is, the emotional and mental issues that tag along seem to be almost as bad. (in my experience anyway)

Anyhow, thanks everybody- you've all been lifesavers from the start (about a year now- time flies even when you're NOT having fun I guess!).
