Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. It was so good to read Keep Smilin's post about her success because it validates how truly disabling RSD can be and that we deserve consideration just like others who are disabled.
I struggle with this issue because some days can be good for me, then I have many bad days. When it is bad, I don't get out and people do not see me. They only see me when I am feeling well enough to go to the store or run an errand. They don't realize I can't keep it up for two hours, let alone eight. The disability part is so hard because (I can only speak for myself) it makes me feel so isolated from people and it is very lonely. I think someone said it earlier - it is bittersweet in a way - it is a blessing to receive the financial assistance (we sure need it) but it is sad to become disabled in the prime of life. This has truly been an emotional rollercoaster for me. |

At the Appeals level, you have to prove the judge made a legal error in your case. The situation you just named is a HUGE one. The AJL is NOT a doctor.....it's not up to him to say RSD is subjective. He can say your level of pain might be subjective, but the dx was made by 3 doctors....not you. Did you have a lawyer ? Was there a voc rehab evaluator there ? He's supposed to say what jobs you can do given your limitations, not the judge. Are your medical records thorough about listing your limitations and functional ability ?

Please know we are all pulling for you and getting SSDI. I was turned down my first time, now going to try again. I've had it 15 years-full body or generalized and internal. pretty tough every morning when I wake up. Sometimes it last all day and sometimes I have a little time in the late afternoon or evening of some quality time. Please let us know how it goes, one of your friends, loretta with big hugs |
