I'm sorry I have gotten lost. What was the info that Lit put out that she is now calling a mistake and/or is in need of correct? Thank you.

Now you have me a bit at a loss. Lit Love made NO mistake. She did mention that she was "capable" of one and that others would catch it IF one was to be made.

No one is perfect but when it comes to SSDI information, she is as close to that perfection as one can be and still be human.

The ONLY error I have seen in any post to this thread is my using your name and that has been corrected. I may have stated some things that were not applicable but Lit Love expounded and explained them for me.

I used my own name and I want it deleted out but I cannot find the area/icon to contact admin on. Thanks.

I sent a message to admin to help you with that. There is an icon REPORT that you click on and send them a message regarding the posts involved.

It is on the left of the screen.

You may want to locate any posts YOU made that include your name and send a message so they don't have to look for them.

Hope this helps.

If you can PM the specific post # - or report the post where the name is we can edit it out..

I wish Janke still posted actively. I know enough to know how much I still need to learn, but thank you.

Yes, it would be nice to have the added input from Janke. It would also help that you would not have to be the primary responder. Everyone needs a break now and then.

Enjoy your time away from NT for the next few days. Talk with you upon your return.

cani your neurologist is very inconsistent which im sure you realize. he says you can work with pn but then tells you to rest more, work 15 minutes and rest 30 minutes. there are no jobs in the economy where that is possible.
Many people with PN are treated by neurologists or even GP's for pain since most people with pn are treated with antidepressants and anti seizure medicine for pain. Not many use opiates since they are of limited value in nerve pain and consequently dont wind up using a pain management clinic.

Echoes made me think about another point.

Echoes is right, many neuropathies are not treated with analgesics but with anti-seizure meds.

They will also look at your medications. If someone claims extreme pain but are not taking any type of medication for pain, that is a flag.

I can not tolerate oral pain meds. I have to use pain patches, otherwise, I get terrible nausea.

I made sure I stated that so there would be no questioning about why I was not taking any oral pain meds. My medication list was long but none were analgesic oral meds. I made sure my patches were listed.

Not everyone sees a pain mgt. doc, but if your claim is based upon PAIN due to a condition, having a pain mgt. doc would be a plus in my opinion.

I would probably have self amputated my leg had it not been for my pain mgt. doc.

But, for neuropathies, the anti-seizure meds are what they use as a first line med for the controlling of neuropathic pain. So, I think I'll be OK with that. I have multi-health issues going on all the time. I have been under the care of shrinks for the last 8 years now. I have DX's for BP, OCB, GAD and ADD. It would appear that having worked 25 straight years of teaching elementary PE, plus my age (51) plus TONS of medical records on MANY conditions . . . Yeah. I feel a little better now. The KU doc is young and very inconsistent. I like him but . . .
