It's been 2 years since I first filed for disability, and I've been denied twice. I had a hearing with an ALJ on Monday. Of course, I won't know the outcome for months, but I had a good feeling about it. So did my attorney.

The judge went over all my work history, what duties I had, etc., then listed off my main symptoms. She asked the occupational expert if, given the limitations of the symptoms she listed, I could do any of those jobs. He flatly said, "No."

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best! I'm really glad the hearing is over with, anyway.
