Thanks everybody for you super kind words and sending some good ju-ju my way. I am just going to hope for the best and expect the worst. I think that's a safe place to keep my mind. The main reason I am so doubtful about getting my SSDI this soon is because of the rapid spread of my RSD in such a short period of time. I just don't believe that they (SSD) can know yet about how and where the RSD has spread to. Not there fault. I think I filed too soon. But at least now my chart at my PM doc will be very up to date on what is happening to me. Thanks again for all your support everyone. I will let y'all know what the letter says when I get it. Karen

Karen67 You must believe God has the final ruling in all situations. Long story short my hearing was around the same as yours and my Attorney,whom I never met until 5 Minutes before the hearing gave me his denial before even going before the alj. I gave it to God and proceeded to go before the alj. The Attorney went in asking to postpone due to his lack of proof. The alj denied his request and proceeded with information she acquired, she made a bench decision in my favor. All that to say stay prayed up and I will pray for you too. SSA just needs time to weed out the predators who take advantage of the system. God Bless you and everything is going to be o.k.
