Sorry about your condition. I have two friends who are over 50 that are on disability. They both have severe pain issues, however. Both their doctors could only get them approved by promoting mental health issues. One with extreme anxiety and paranoia, the other with a learning disability and poor socialization skills. The second told me the other day that though he has severe back injuries from doing heavy labor. His doctor said that wasn't going to get him anywhere without the other. Sad to say but if you have to pull the crazy card, we won't judge you here.
