What dx did you have when approved?

Did you use a lawyer?
How do you find a doc that will agree to write letters to ssdi re: your health problems? some of my docs tell me that I need a special disability doctor

I applied with dx of major depression, anxiety, personality disorder nos
about 3 years ago.

Since then I have been experiencing a decline in health due to diabetes complications, small fiber neuropathy etc. I am taking Cymbalta and Gabapentin, but don't get much relief and get a lot of drowsiness & fogginess from the Gabapentin

I would appreciate any input. Thank you Mary In Florida
