Thanks Echoes.

I see the psychologist for counseling of the problems my pain has caused me from my injury.
He treats my PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorder all effects caused by my injury. Sure hes not treating my spine, but he is treating what the injury to my spine has caused. I dont get hurt, i dont have those problems. They have gotten worse as the years go by. The PTSD still gives me nightmares of the day i got hurt.


Iam so confused as to what to do, when this should be so simple. I wish that i was back at work fighting fires, instead of disabled doing this paperwork crap.
One of my last doctor visits was to cardiologist for stress echo test, but i dont dare put that down because its a different problem. SS knows my neck and back problems arent suddenly gonna heal themselves after 13 years. You would think putting down other doctor visits like seeing your primary doctor on a regular basis for checkups, would show you are trying to take care of your health. I guess am looking at the form how i would review it if i was SS. Like with your condition, i wouldnt penalize you if on one of your last doctor visits, it wasnt for your approved condition.
They should put down in the instructions, that they want a persons last 3 visits only to doctors that treat you for your approved condition.

Thanks

Okay Echoes, my final question before i send the form in tomorrow. I have studied it way to long now. When i started going over this form last week, i was 51, iam now 67 years old,lolll.

The question how is your health now.

better - same - worse

Truthfully my health is worse right now and i wouldnt be lying if i checked that box, but i would be willing to just check the same box, if it put me at a lower risk of computer spitting it out.
am sure checking better would spit it out, do you think worse will do the same thing?

Thanks again for taking time from your life to help me. Same goes for all the other posters in this thread.

Bobby

i put worse on my short form because i am. my condition is progressive.

Thanks, am gonna put worse also, because iam. Will just have to cross my fingers and hope it goes thru without problems. Then i wont have to worry about the next review for 7 years and at that point it should be a breeze.
If you ever need any help, just ask
