This makes me so mad... You pay and pay into a system that won't pay IF and WHEN you need it... UNFAIR and OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Electrocuted,
A number of people I have met have been denied benefits. Most of the people got an attorney who specializes in "denied social security" and on appeal were able to get even back benefits. It was not an overnight process and for some entailed a hearing. There was no charge upfront, and payment is made from benefits, if they are approved. If you have not seen one of these attorneys, you might want to consider this.

I am so glad to see that you have posted here. I have thought about you so much since I read your first posting. I hope that you will get a doctor who will be receptive to giving you some help...

We hope to hear more from you and would really like to hear how things are going. I know there will be something that will help at least reduce your pain to a tolerable level. Meanwhile, know that we all are thinking of you...
