Default Syringomyelia

Hi, I was diagnosed with SM one year ago. Does anyone know if this condition is formally recognised as a disability?

Default Hello Paul

Welcome to Neuro Talk. I had to look this up. There evidently are two forms of this disorder. One is chiari malformation. There is for sure a forum to address that issue. On the top of this page is a search bar, just type in chiari, or see what comes up for syringomyelia. I would imagin this would indeed qualify for SSD or medicare etc. Get a good representative to help you through that process. It is worth the effort. I am sorry this happened to you. NT can be here for support, no matter what happens. You are not alone. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie

Welcome to NT !

You've certainly come to a wonderful place for support and understanding!
So many friendly caring souls here.

Make yourself right at home, as this is a very down-to-earth, cozy atmosphere. Cruise through the forums and post wherever you feel inclined.
Just holler if you have any questions or need help in finding your way around.

It's great to have you here!

Caring
Rae


PS: Feel free to check out the SSD forum. I'm sure if you post this question over there, you'll get good feedback.
Here's the link that'll take you there:
