Welcome.................


Are you seeing a neurologist that specializes only with headaches/migraines? If not, perhaps you should be.

There is also a headache forum area - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum32.html

Are you saying that you applied to Social Security Disability and their response was "to deal with it?" Sorry but, I find this hard to believe. Either way, you need to hire an attorney that ONLY specializes with Social Security Disability.

To qualify for benefits, you must first have worked in jobs covered by Social Security. Then you must have a medical condition that meets Social Security's definition of disability. In general, we pay monthly cash benefits to people who are unable to work for a year or more because of a disability.
Suggest that you check out the SSD website: http://www.ssa.gov/disability/

Are you asking what to do next? If you want a reconsideration you need to do it soon you only have 60 days. They add five days from the time you received the letter. There is a thread on here that talks about the spine stimulus, most people don't have anything nice to say about it.

Hi Missy,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

The subforum for spinal cord stimulators is here : http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread114132.html

Hi Missy. I'm new also, but can relate. The Docs tell me the same thing dealing with Arthritis attacks. I can take Ibuprofen and Hydrocodone for pain, but only in limited amounts because of diabetes and worry about kidney/liver damage occurring. And they suggest learning pain management.

Otherwise. the foot neuropathy is mainly dealing with numbness, sharp pains that only lasts a few seconds, and losing balance. I've never felt the need for pain meds dealing with those symptoms

I was also having these vision problems where everything would go blurry with flashes. The Doc put me on a heart monitor, but that didn't indicate it was heart related. The Neurologist put me on an MRI and did blood tests, but nothing was found.

During a routine eye exam, I happened to mention it to the Optometrist, He immediately diagnosed it as an optical migraine. Even though I rarely get headaches, he said sometimes it occurs in the optical nerve. And it turns out that's what it was. So you never know where the answers will come from.
