rgb 72, 61, 139 is an html colour code. Dark Slate Blue
I don't think this vBulletin has html as "allowed" ??

Ahh, bottom left of screen - HTML code is Off

Looked for info about it. RGB is RGB colour code (red green blue and all the shades in between).
HTML for Dark Slate Blue is 483D8B

I should have suggested our site FAQ - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/faq.php

[How do I format my posts and messages?

When posting messages you may wish to include some formatting such as bold text, italic text and underlined text.

Adding formatting to your post can be done in two ways:

Using clickable controls similar to those found in most word processors
Typing formatting commands in BB code

Clickable controls are available in the Standard and Enhanced WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors. The difference between these is that the standard editor will show the BB code in your message and be processed when it is displayed. The enhanced WYSIWYG editor will show your message as it will be displayed while you are typing.

To use these, simply click the button, for example the B (bold) button and then type to get bold text. Click the button again to stop using that formatting. You can also highlight text that you have already typed then click the formatting button to format existing text.

BB code is a special set of codes similar to HTML that can be used in posts to the board. To see the full list of BB code tags that can be used on this site and examples of their use, click here.] - BB code info- http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/misc.php?do=bbcode


I usually type my text and then highlight it and click the format or color I want it changed to..

Thanks for the acknowledgment which I was not afforded by the original poster.

Many here are trying to help the OP, but it seems to be misunderstood.

I have tried to be supportive and offer ideas but feel rebuked so I think I will bow out of the thread for now.

Thanks again, echoes long ago, for coming to my aid.

If you do still drive and have to go to appts and grocery shopping, I'm sure you would qualify for a placard.
Having that placard already and available for use as needed may help a bit as far as disability goes.. Perhaps not , but SSDI might assume , " if X hasn't even gotten a placard for the car , they must be able to get around OK" - see what I mean?
But they may also assume it is fairly easy to get a placard...
but not having it would make them think you don't really need it ...

^^^I don't understand you BP link/comment. Could you please explain it more? To me, it is not that complicated. My BP is most commonly triggered by stress. As the stress of my life events and illness grew increasingly worse... the kindling was lite on my BP mind. BTW, I am BP2, not BP1. There is a world of difference between the two.
Your narrative it is that you went out on FMLA leave due to your PN and to a lesser extent your mental health. Yet, you had your FMLA paperwork filled out by your psychiatrist. You were on probation at work for a year and a half, also related to your mental health, and had an earlier history of utilizing FMLA for mental health reasons, again having your psychiatrist write your FMLA paperwork.

Why does this matter?

Both conditions can separately be a cause for SSDI. And certainly, having both conditions can complicate things and make it even more difficult to work.

All impairments will need to be documented extensively. The limitations and restrictions caused by both need to be documented. The potential for improvement, or not, needs to be documented by an appropriate doctor--a neurologist with extensive experience with SFN for example.

You did well in the past when you underwent intensive outpatient mental health treatment. I've suggested going to therapy once a week generally seems to be the minimum (most) successful SSDI claimants attend. --If you need to go three times a week for success, than that's what SS will expect. The point is you can't get the benefit of claiming mental health impairments are contributing to your inability to work if you don't have adequate documentation of current treatment.

Rereading some of your earlier posts, you have in a few places stated conversations you had with your brother as if he were one of your doctors. While his opinion may be 100% valid, you must keep in mind that what ANY doctor tells you verbally, doesn't matter in relation to your SSDI claim. SS will only consider what your treating docs have documented in your records.

People commonly want to apply logic to the SSDI process. You must remember that this is a medical/legal evaluation and that you must prove all your claims through medical documentation. Thinking you can explain things to an ALJ isn't really how the process works.

When I asked about the parking placard you stated it's not needed in your small town. But, don't you attend medical appointments at KU? Perhaps this is just an unwillingness to accept your new limitations, I don't know. An ALJ could very well question your credibility when your narrative seems inconsistent with your choices.

I personally think that everyone should try to earn as much as they possibly can under their particular conditions and circumstances.

To limit oneself to stay "under" the monetary amounts for the sole purpose of keeping benefits is not the intent of the disability program and only harms oneself. If someone is capable of more hours and more income, it would be better for them to earn a living than be limited to SSDI benefits.

The question by the original poster is regarding attempts to work BEFORE being awarded benefits, while still in the application and appeal process.

Either way, someone capable of working, should give it their best effort to be self sufficient. It is when that is not an option, SSDI benefits are for those unable to work at the SGA level.
actually i was employed full time at the post office. after 3 months they could no longer accomodate my needs and just couldnt function any more. ssa came down with the 10 page work history. it was my first work attempt since 1997
