I am so sorry for the report that one doc. gave you. I do not know how physicians can live with themselves knowing their evalutaiton may hurt someone so terribly. I was denied twice. It took a PCP a three page letter spelling out my condition addressed to the judge for me to be granted the disability. I had letters from at least 10 people I knew, a psychologist, neurologist, and 7 surgeries behind that. My lawyer that I had through the whole process never never let me give up. I went broke, but I am alive. Don't give up Bretd. Try to get a personal physician to write a letter directly to the judge. The system we have for disability is damaged. I think that is why all this happens. appeal, do what ever you have to, to get medical help. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
