The ALJ hearing should be your friend not something to worry about. It is your time to tell your story. It was the occupational consultant that won my case for me. I am only probable MS but have a lot of fatigue issues. The consultant told the judge his estimate of how many days on an average I would need to be calling in a month. I don't know if you have fatigue or not but it defenitley is not something you can predict. Good luck

Okay - I'm so prepared to get flamed for this -  but...I say get a walker....and lay it on thick. Make yourself look sickly.  LOL. Because even though you don't need to "look sick to be sick" - we often judge that way. It's sad - but often true. I mean if you "look" well enough...then why the heck can't you work? (I'm not really saying that - I'm just saying out loud what a lot of people think.) I've only been sick for 5.5 weeks, so what do I know?! I know that if you saw me sitting somewhere, you wouldn't know I was "sick" - but that if you spent twenty minutes with me, I might need to lay down because I can barely keep my head up b/c I'm so dang tired....or I might burst into tears because the pain in my head is so excruciating...or if we were walking, you'd see that I tilt to the side and that I need to hold onto a wall (because I'm still denying the use of a walker). See, the thing is - you can't see that pain or "disability". Good luck with your meeting - I wish you well!! ~Keri |
